Welcome to a new Year!

Thank you for entrusting me with the awesome privilege of being your child's teacher.  I respect and appreciate any aprehension or uneasiness you may have as your child gets ready to start a brand new year.  

Please know that I don't take my teaching responsibilities lightly and will work tirelessly to help your child achieve success. I believe that, given the right conditions, every child can excel.  With your help and support, we can provide an optimal learning experience for your child this year.

Now, a little bit about me-- I was born and raised in San Antonio.  I graduated from Texas State University in 2001 with a bachelors of science in Interdisciplinary studies.  I worked for Northside ISD 12 years and will be starting my 8th year with  Judsonisd.  I am  working on my masters of science in curriculum and Instruction in special education  at Texas A&M International.  Some of my favorite things are gardening, morning coffee, watching the sun rise and set, and playing with my pups. 

I look forward to collaborating with you as we pave the way to the best school year ever!

With kindness and grattitude,

Flor Valdez-Martinez

"I treat all children the same. I don't consider their disability an excuse, but,

rather, a point of motivation....  When you enter my classroom you no longer

see children with special needs, but a teacher who meets the needs of special children."
