Kindergarten - Astrid Tapia

My name is Ms. Tapia! I am the kindergarten dual language teacher at Poteet Elementary. This is my second year teaching. Last year I taught kindergarten, but it was all in English. These past two years have certainly been a huge growing experience.

I went to high school in San Antonio at John Paul Stevens High School. When I left, I went to the University of the Incarnate Word. There I got a double major in Psychology and music. I later went to TOPP which is a teaching certification program through Region 20. I am certified to teach any subject and grade from early childhood through sixth grade in English and in Spanish.

I received the teacher of the month for Poteet Elementary in the month of September. I believe that if we all work hard and bring our best each day, great things will happen!
