My name is Mrs. Lauren Catoe and I'm the Success in Academic and Independent Living Skills (SAILS) teacher at Sugar Land Middle School!  

It is a great privilege to teach and have a positive influence on student learning. I have worked in education since 2007, teaching dance and color guard for, however, this will be my first year working as a certified teacher. I have also worked as a paraprofessional for two years (one in Pearland ISD and one in Fort Bend ISD) and it was on this journey that I discovered my passion for working with individuals with special needs. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Science: Science Education (Secondary Biological Science) from Western Governors University.  My goal was to become a Special Education teacher upon completion of my degree and in 2021, I am now achieving that goal.

I am married and have two dogs. My favorite hobbies are painting, playing the piano, and spending time outdoors.

If I can support in anyway, please feel free to call me or email me with any concerns or questions. I am very excited to be your child’s teacher and look forward to a wonderful school year! Go Titans!!
