About The Teacher

    My name is Tracy Montoya and I'm happy to say this school year will 
begin my 11th year teaching in Round Rock ISD.  UTEP, better known as 
the University of Texas El Paso, is where I earned my Bachelors of Science 
degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Reading.  
    My family and friends will tell you that teaching is my passion.  I love 
the kids and my job.  Every new school year brings a new garden of students 
that I get to help nurture, teach and grow.  Seeing my old students return 
to visit me is always a priceless gift that I look forward to each year.
    My belief is that every student will be successful in my class.  
Students will be respectful and kind to themselves and each other.  They 
will become great at problem solving and thinking for themselves.  They will 
develop a life-long love of learning and they will want to come to school.  
My class will be a safe environment for them to grow, learn and bloom.  
     Now that I've shared my background and teaching philosophy I'll tell 
you about myself.  I'm 49 years young, married to a wonderful man named 
Oscar and have three sons, as well as three step-kids. My oldest son, Ryan,  
just graduated from Texas A & M.  My middle son, Taylor, is a 
sophmore at Texas A & M studying industrial distribution.  My youngest 
son, Clay, just graduated from McNeil and will attend ACC in the fall and 
then transfer Spring sememster to the University of Arkansas for their 
architecture program.
    Next to spending time with my family & friends, I enjoy reading, 
gardening, traveling, tubing, and going to the beach.  I love anything 
spicy, the hotter the better.  My nickname is "Ellie Mae" because I seem to 
accumulate critters.  I usually have a smile on my face because I always try 
to find the best in all situations.
    Thank you for visiting our website.  Hopefully this has helped you get 
to know me a little better.  I'm excited about this upcoming school year and 
looking forward to meeting all of you, face to face.
Sincerely,
Tracy Montoya
