About Mrs. Myers

Welcome to TAG!  I am excited to begin my fourth year as the UP TAG Specialist.  My journey in HPISD began as a Bradfield Elementary Fourth Grade teacher, and prior to that experience I taught in Plano ISD in both fourth grade and fifth grade classrooms. Graduating from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor Degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master Degree in Elementary Education, I quickly fell in love with extending the learning of my TAG students in the regular education classroom through differentiation practices. I followed this passion to learn more about how to challenge my students every moment of the day through the SMU Gifted/Talented Endorsement Program.  That passion has become my role at UP which is to seek to open up opportunities for a challenging learning environment every moment of every day.


This summer has been quite eventful as my family welcomed our new baby girl, Merritt.  Her big brother, Charlie, is overjoyed with his new role and proudly parades his baby sister in and out of his school.  My husband and I aren’t sleeping much yet, but we are filled with love and all the baby cuddles we can handle.


I am excited to start this school year and meet the many new faces of my school family.  Every student holds a special place in my heart and I strive to make every child feel loved and supported in the TAG classroom.  I believe this makes taking risks in learning and significant growth possible. I look forward to partnering with you to build a challenging yet supportive environment that invites your child to grasp at opportunities to make great strides in learning.

Thank you!

Thank you TAG parents for the generous end of year gift!  I appreciate all of the love and support you have provided for your children and me throughout the entire year.  UP is a special place, and I love coming to teach here year after year.  Looking forward to another great year together at the new school!  And to our fourth graders that are moving on, hope you come back to visit!  I love to hear updates so please keep in touch!  Have a great summer!

Welcome back cake made by 3rd grader, Rachel.  Also a banner with sweet messages from all the students hangs behind me.  What a special welcome back!  Thank you!

I am back!!!!

Thank you for all the notes, extra hugs, and small treats to welcome me back last week.  It flew by so I didn't get a chance to post how great it was to be back with the students and teaching!   A special thank you to Mrs. Farrell for taking great care of the students and following curriculum while I was out.  The students are right on track to end the year with an amazing track record of achievement in both Explorations and TAG Math.  Thank you again for the warm welcome back!  

The Bigfoot Trial results are in!!!  Our jury along with foreperson, Ava, decided the verdict in the case of the Big Foot Support Group vs. the University Park Investigation Group.  Thanks to the help and guidance of our lawyers, Mr. Foley, Mrs. Trulock, and Mrs. Bernstein, we were able to simulate a very realistic view of our civil court system.  The jury sided with the University Park Investigation Group!  Therefore according to our class, Big Foot more likely than not does not exist.  
From my family to yours... Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.  Thank you all for a wonderful year.  I feel so much joy looking back on all the memories we have shared in this last year and look forward to many more.  I also want to say thank you for the generous class gift I received this week.  I truly appreciate it and you all more than words can express.  Thank you for also sharing your family's holiday cards and cheer throughout the week.  I hope you all enjoy the holidays with your family.  See you in 2017!
