Dear Spicewood Elementary Parents & Community Members,
Continuing the spirit of gratitude, I must say that today and everyday, I am grateful for all Veterans and the families who support them! We have many students at Spicewood Elementary whose parents and family members have served and continue to serve our country! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Allen
Spicewood Elementary Principal
CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
As the number of students enrolled increased, we found ourselves in desperate need of an additional counselor. Fortunately the district created a half time counselor position for Spicewood and were were able to hire Jenna Aleya. Ms. Aleya is a certified school counselor and previously served as an interim elementary school counselor in Austin ISD. Prior to serving as interim counselor, she was a self-contained elementary special education teacher working with students with Emotional Behavioral Disabilities. Ms. Aleya will be at Spicewood on Tuesdays & Thursdays (7:20AM - 3:25PM) and Fridays (7:20AM -11:30AM). We are excited to have her join the Spicewood family and happy that she will be able to collaborate with Mrs. Kentopp to support our students.
