Hello and welcome to my teacher's page! I am excited about teaching 4th grade at Mission West Elementary this year! I am a graduate of Lamar University with my Masters in Administration and am an alumnus of  U of H for Interdisciplinary Studies EC-6th Grade, as well as an alumnus of North Bennett Street School in Boston for Fine Furniture Making. The completion of this year will mark my 21st year working in education, with 9 years in Fort Bend and 12 in Katy ISD. I have also served throughout the years as a 1st and 2nd-grade teacher, owned and directed a daycare, and served as a woodworking teacher and furniture maker in my younger years as a native Bostonian. Currently, I am working toward completing my principal certificate, and gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to be an effective leader that improves student learning and overall success at all grade levels. 

I look forward to building a sound foundation of knowledge with your child that will allow them to take hold of their future and create successful outcomes for college and beyond.

Let's make this a prosperous and fabulous year!

Sincerely,

Monika Saad Saoud M. Ed
