Schertz Elementary School

I am Veronica Carreon, and I am thrilled to teach 3rd grade at Schertz Elementary. I am from Amarillo, Texas but I’ve called San Antonio home for 10 years. I hold a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education with a focus in ESL from UTSA! “Birds Up!” I believe learning should be fun and encourage curiosity so that students find excitement in learning. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family, board games, and traveling.

SCUC ISD holds a very special place in my heart—I grew up in the district, attending from kindergarten until I graduated from Clemens! I am now starting my 21st year in education, having taught Pre-K, 1st, 4th, and served as an RTI Interventionist. Outside of work, my two daughters keep me busy; one is a junior at Clemens and the other is a 5th grader at Schlather. In my free time, I love to read, watch my shows, and go on trips, preferably to Disney.

🌎✈️ Traveling Tuesday! Miss Edmondson is making the most of her summer with a weekend adventure in California’s Sequoia National Park! From incredible mountain views to amazing wildlife, she’s creating memories one hike at a time. 🌲🥾🐻

Travel Tuesday 🌎✈️ Rebecca Johnson (formerly Cooper) made the most of summer exploring Michigan! From kayaking and rail biking to hiking, dune rides, and climbing a lighthouse on Lake Michigan, this adventure was packed with unforgettable memories. 💚

My name is Leah Biache, and I will be teaching 4th-grade RLA/SS. I am a UTSA alum going into my first year of teaching. Some of my hobbies include karaoke, being outdoors, and cleaning. I have two pets, a betta fish and a Shih Tzu Schnauzer mix! I am looking forward to the upcoming year and being part of the team!

My name is Ilsse Rodriguez. For elementary school I went to Schertz Elementary, so I am very excited to be back! I graduated from UTSA and have worked in SCUCISD for 10 years now. I LOVE reading and hope to instill a love of reading in all my students! When I am not working, I am having fun with my kids and husband, usually bike riding. I'm excited for this year and can't wait to meet my students!

Our 4th graders celebrated their “senior” year at Schertz in the best way possible! 🎉🌺 From the early morning parade to awards and a fun-filled luau, it was the perfect way to honor an amazing group of students and close out a fantastic school year.
