This will be my fifth year teaching fourth grade at Gulledge, and I truly can’t imagine being anywhere else! I studied Child Development at the University of Arkansas (Woo Pig!) and later earned my Master’s in Education from SMU. Outside the classroom, you can usually find me playing soccer, biking around White Rock Lake, traveling to new places, jamming out at concerts, or just spending quality time with my family and friends. I’m all about making memories—both in and out of the classroom!

Fourth grade is the best year—especially because we get to dive into Texas History! I love finding ways to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful for my students. As a proud graduate of Plano schools, I’m thrilled to be back in the district that played such a big role in shaping who I am today!

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my amazing husband, our two daughters, and our son. Family time is incredibly important to me, and we love making memories together.

I’m so excited to be back for my third year of teaching 4th grade! There’s something truly special about this age—students are growing more independent while still full of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. I love helping them build confidence, strengthen their academic skills, and discover what they’re passionate about. Each new school year brings fresh energy and opportunities, and I can’t wait to see all that we’ll accomplish together this year!

I graduated from Texas Tech and cheer for those Red Raiders every chance I get. I have two children that have gone through Plano Schools. My oldest son lives in Dallas and works for Deloitte. My youngest son went to the University of Arkansas and works in Dallas. I also have a cat named Lucy. I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, reading, and teaching aerobics.

I love being a teacher and have the best job in the world. This is my eleventh year teaching full time and my fourth year at Gulledge. My passion is making the curriculum available for all learning styles. I cherish every child that I teach and can't wait to watch them learn!

I graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Elementary Education and an ESL Generalist certification. I have two sweet cats named Moonie and JoJo, and I love to read in my free time.

I am so excited to be in Plano ISD because I grew up in this district! Fourth grade is such a pivotal year in a child's academic and emotional development, and it is a privilege to help guide and witness their growth. I firmly believe that teaching a child to love learning opens countless doors for their future. In my classroom, I strive to create a kind and supportive environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, learning from mistakes, and celebrating each other’s successes.

Welcome to 4th grade! My name is Mrs. Sato and this is my 2nd year teaching 4th grade at Gulledge. Prior to my arrival at Gulledge, I taught middle school band for 10 years. In addition to my elementary teaching certification, I also hold certifications in secondary music grades 6-12 and science grades 4-8. My husband and I have been married 25 years and have one son. He will be a 9th grader at Jasper H.S. this year and is a Gulledge Gator alumnus.

It’s going to be a great year!

I grew up in Plano and graduated college from Stephen F. Austin State University. My daughter, Addison, is in 4th grade at Gulledge. We love to swim, travel, play games and read together. We travel to Austin to see my parents in Lakeway. My sister and brother in law live in Cedar Park and have identical twin girls that are 18 months old. We love to spend time with our family.

I am starting my 16th year in education and LOVE being a Gulledge Gator. I am thrilled to be returning to teach 4th grade. It is always fun to "move up" and see many familiar faces to teach. This was the first set of kids I had at this amazing campus. Teaching is always changing- it is what makes it challenging and enjoyable.
