1st Grade Team

Jessica Medina Paolamares

I am Mrs. González, and I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year. This is my second year with Austin ISD, and I am truly grateful and excited to continue being part of this wonderful school community.

I strive to create a joyful, nurturing, and bilingual classroom where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn. I am honored to be part of each student’s educational journey, and I look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and wonderful memories together!

I have more than 15 years of experience as an educator in Mexico, working with children from preschool through elementary school. I am passionate about bilingual education and helping young learners build strong foundations in both English and Spanish.

I am dedicated to creating meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. I strive to create a positive, respectful, and welcoming classroom where every child feels valued and encouraged to grow.
