Mrs. Jessica Belt

     I am a Fort Bend ISD graduate of Kempner High School, class of 1996. My Bachelor's degree in Science is from the University of Houston-Downtown while my Associate's degree is from Wharton County Jr. College.  After earning my Texas Teacher Certification for Reading/ELA grades 4-8 in 2002, I taught at Lamar CISD for twelve years, serving as a 504 and ESL specialist for five years while teaching 7th and 8th grade ELA for twelve years. I am ESL and GT trained/certified. I have been teaching in Fort Bend ISD at Sartartia Middle School since 2014. I currently teach Peer Assisted Leadership (PALS), Lead Worthy (formerly known as Teen Leadership), and Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID).  I am also the campus coordinator for AVID. In 2019, I was named Sartartia's Teacher of the Year; it was humbling and one of the highlights of my career. I am truly honored to serve in this capacity and further Student Leadership at Sartartia Middle School.

     On a personal note, I am married to a handsome Houston Firefighter. We live in rural Needville and adore our fur babies, two Australian shepards. We love to travel. I am an avid reader and life long learner. Having a growth mindset is essential to success; if you can learn from it, it is not a failure, but an opportunity. As a student who struggled with dyslexia and ADD, I am uniquely suited to teach organization, creativity, and grit through my leadership programs.
