Welcome, Shiff Sharks!  My name is Karla Reyes and I am excited to be the Literacy Intervention Teacher at JSE servicing students and teachers in kindergarten through fifth grade on reading and writing. I look forward to working together to help our JSE sharks achieve their reading goals this school year!

I grew up in Houston, Texas and I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies in May 2011. I then earned my Master's Degree in Education Administration, Leadership and Supervision from the University of Houston-Victoria in May 2016. Throughout my years as an educator, I have had the opportunity to teach kindergarten, fourth grade, and fifth grade as an ELAR Bilingual teacher, and taught grades K-5 as an ELAR Interventionist. I have also had the opportunity to be a literacy leader as an instructional coach, instructional specialist, campus lead mentor, and district model literacy teacher. This 2022-2023 school year will be my third year back at JSE as a Literacy Intervention Teacher!

In my spare time, I enjoy visiting family, traveling, and spending time outdoors.

I look forward to watching our students learn and grow this school year. I strongly believe that when we work together we can achieve anything!
