WELCOME
Serving Communities, Schools, and Families
I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself. My name is Mr. Ismael Lara. I am the Grant Fund Site Coordinator for the 21st Century After School Program at North Star Elementary School. I want to thank you for allowing us to have the opportunity to serve you and your child(ren) this school year. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you as well as your children.
My areas of certification include Gifted and Talented Education, Generalist EC-4 Bilingual, and Technology Applications EC-12. I attended The University of Texas at El Paso and hold a Master’s Degree in Bilingual Education (UTEP), a Bachelors degrees in Bilingual Education (UTEP), and an Associates of Arts degree in Mass Communication (EPCC), as well as graduate work in Criminal Justice (WNMU) and Instructional Technology Education (UTEP).
I truly believe that one should never stop learning; I dedicate myself to encouraging all of our boys and girls to continue their education. Our staff will cheer your child on, celebrate with them throughout every success, and stand by them with a helping hand each and every day.
I am looking forward to what I know will be a prosperous year at North Star Elementary School. I believe in its vision for our students and will do all that I can to help these children be happy, feel safe, and become successful. By working together I am sure that we can help your child succeed. Should you have any questions, comments, or concerns I encourage you to contact me. I may be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at (915) 434-6700. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration this school year.
Sincerely,
