Naomi Pasemann Elementary School Home

Hello! My name is Kayla Pellar. I graduated from Angelo State University in May 2020 with my Bachelor's degree and am currently working on getting my master's in English. I have been teaching for a total of three years.. all being in Taylor! I love the small town feel that Taylor has and wouldn't want to work anywhere else. The students here are so incredible and I truly enjoy seeing them every day!

My name is Cassidy Mortimer and I have spent 2 years teaching 1st grade and this year teaching 3rd in Taylor ISD. This is the only school I have taught at and it has been full of amazing community and staff. I love serving these kids and their families and enjoy the small district feel. Seeing my past students in the hallway each day and keeping the relationships strong motivate me to bring my best each day! We are doing great things in TISD and I'm so excited to be a part of it.

I chose Taylor ISD for the small town feel, willingness to allow teachers to grow, and opportunities for students to be advocates for themselves. As a Third grade teacher, I'm responsible for helping students grow as lifelong learners and how to properly display their knowledge on their first standardized test. As an educator, I feel it's important to treat all students on an individual level and help them grow into wonderful people in today's world.

I am serving in the district because I am from Taylor! I love my community, and my students. Taylor is a special place to me.

Having grown up in Taylor I feel a deep connection with the community, parents, and students. Both of my parents served as educators for Taylor ISD and played a huge role in my return to teach where I grew up. I have great memories of going to school in Taylor and love the fact that I am able help students gain the same feelings and experiences I had growing up here.

Taylor has the most amazing sense of community. The town and people have a way of rallying around the schools and kids. The Taylor community is one that is so welcoming we often see people leave town and come back to teach and continue living and caring for one another. That sense of community carries into our schools as we truly get to know the parents of our children because we soon see that they are neighbors, relatives, and alumni that continue giving back to our schools.

I am excited to see everyone’s positive outlook for our future! While we always honor our past, I can see how bright our future will be! #OnceADuckAlwaysADuck
