Hi, I am Brielle Rios and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! I am a product of NISD and I am so happy to be teaching where I grew up. In my class we will do a lot of fun games and activities because I am a firm believer that school and learning can be fun for all learners. I come from a big family and I am a mom to my black lab, Luca. My life motto is keep moving forward and I hope we can apply this to our lives together!

Hey everyone, my name is Jade Starling and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year. I am San Antonio/Northside born and bred and this is my 9th year teaching (and my 6th year at Kallison). My teaching philosophy is teaching through fun and exciting lessons grounded in the belief that engaging and enjoyable learning experiences not only enhance student motivation but also foster a deeper understanding and retention of the material. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a positive and stimulating classroom environment where students are active participants in their own learning journey.
