Introduction

School doesn't start for another month but today I just accepted my 4th grade teaching position at Ruth Barron Elementary. I am so honored and excited to be apart of this community.
For the past two years I taught second grade in Round Rock ISD and I'm so excited to be working with the big kiddos!
