My name is Zaret Alvarez and I am so excited to begin my first year as a Pre-K Paraprofessional . I look forward to creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where every child feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to learn. I’m excited to build meaningful connections with my students and be part of their growth and development throughout the school year. I can’t wait for an amazing year together!

My name is Valeria Elizabeth Lara! Something about me is that I just recently moved to Cibolo, TX about a month ago. I’ve worked in education for about 5 years with an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I started working at La Petite Academy as a teacher assistant to a lead teacher for about 2.5+ years then chose to work at Harlingen CISD as a SPED Paraprofessional for 2.5+ years. I fell in love with teaching and working alongside with students that I can help make a difference and feel supported no matter the needs. My hobbies is that I love to read, do puzzles, and keeping active at the gym. I’m currently a SPED Paraprofessional with Schertz Elementary School and I thank you for welcoming me to your panther family. I’m so excited what this new school year will bring and getting to grow within your team!
