During the March 30 school board meeting, Robert Arriola, Briesemeister Middle School lead assistant principal, was surprised to learn that he is a Distinguished Administrator courtesy of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA).
This designation honors secondary school administrators who are instrumental in preserving quality music education programs on their campuses and districts. These administrators are committed to providing high quality, well-rounded educational experiences for all of their students.
Robert was nominated for the honor by members of the Briesemeister Fine Arts staff and his family was there to support him.

Pete Silvius, SISD director of whole child initiatives, accepted the donation on behalf of the district.
Thank you to Century 21 United and all of our community partners for supporting Seguin ISD students!

A Barnes Middle School employee since the campus opened its doors in 2004, Janette works in the Special Education program and has built caring, trusting and positive relationships with her students over the years. She challenges her students to achieve their individual goals and provides them with educational, social, and emotional support on a daily basis. As a supporter of all things Seguin, she works tirelessly to make sure that all students can achieve at high levels. A true team player, she supports teachers, parents, and administration in addition to students.
While presenting Janette with the award, Dr. Gutierrez noted that "the Barnes Middle School community is truly blessed to have this deserving winner of the Apple Award."
Her family was in attendance to join in on the celebration.
At Koennecke Elementary, Mrs. Isaac's first grade dual language students are encouraged to support one another and take pride in the success of their classmates. Alone we are smart. Together we are brilliant!
At Seguin ISD, we have long held to the philosophy that education transcends the traditional classroom. Physical and outdoor education are integral toward the development of the whole child. This year, a goal is to have each Seguin ISD kindergarten student know how to ride a bike. With a bit of practice, it did not take these Jefferson Ave. Elementary students long to learn this lifelong skill!
