Sheila Ramirez, Rodriguez Elementary School second grade Dual Language Teacher, received the Superintendent's Award during the Seguin ISD school board meeting of Dec. 15.
Sheila started the school year in September completely prepared to serve her students as a virtual teacher. This included converting space at home to simulate the learning environment that her students would experience in a face-to-face classroom. She embraced her new role by serving all second grade dual language virtual students, not only from her home campus of Rodriguez but also from Koennecke and Patlan elementaries. She is a highly committed and dedicated educator, under any and all circumstances, during her three years with the district.
Dr. Matthew Gutierrez, superintendent, and Yolanda Grijalva, Rodrigues ES principal, presented the award to Sheila.
