This is my 9th year serving as an Elementary School teacher and my 5th year at Kallison ES. I grew up in San Antonio, and in Northside ISD. I went to Texas State University for my teaching degree. I am certified in Early Childhood-6th grade and in ESL. I am a wife, fur momma, an auntie, daughter, and sister. My family is my heart! I love being an educator because there is nothing more incredible than seeing the light bulb go off for a young mind when working to master a new task! It brings me great joy to be a teacher. :) 

Hello!

Welcome to Kindergarten!  

My name is Olivia Rios and this will be my 17th year teaching. I graduated from UTSA (GO Roadrunners!) Kindergarten is my most favorite grade. I love reading great stories with my kinder littles, teaching the foundation of reading and seeing the look on their face when they've made a learning connection!  San Antonio has always been my home. My husband and I have 3 sons and we love to support them in all that they do. Being part of this community both as a parent and an educator is definitely rewarding. I am proud to be a part of the Kallison Stampede!

Hello, I am so excited for my first official year of teaching! I have worked in different positions in the office, and took a long term sub position last year but I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten! I love seeing my littles get so excited when they learn something new!  This year, I received a NEF New teacher Grant as well as First Year Educator of the Year. I love sharing this new journey with my family. My husband and I have 3 amazing daughters that keep us busy! 

Hello Stampede! I am Mr. Martinez and this is my 29th Year in Education, and I am proud to say they have all been in Kindergarten! There is no other job I would ever want to do. "The Littles" have taught me the greatest lessons throughout my career. I have always set out to teach the "Whole Child" the best that I can. Success does not look the same for each child, but by teaching a combination of academics, social skills, and a sense of wonder, it is my hope to make, "The World A Better Place...One Five Year Old At A Time!"

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at San Antonio (Let's Go 210!) and I began my career in SAISD. I remained there for (13) years before making the transition to NISD, which I am a product of myself. During my first year here in Northside I had the  opportunity to be a part of opening Forester Elementary and was honored to be named Educator of The Year 2010. Kallison Elementary has been home to me for the past (5) years and I could not be happier to be a part of this wonderful campus and its Leadership. My family and friends are everything to me and I enjoy my time with them outside of school.
