Our Guiding Principles:
At Bob Beard Elementary, we exist to serve, support, and inspire students. We create a safe, welcoming environment where children are loved, challenged, and empowered to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable learners. We lead with professionalism, kindness, and a growth mindset—modeling respect, collaboration, and enthusiasm in all we do.
Our success comes from working together with a student-first focus, partnering with families, and embracing continuous growth. Our top priority at Bob Beard Elementary is building strong relationships that help every child feel seen, supported, and ready to thrive.
With over 18 years in education, I remain deeply committed to ensuring that every student experiences both academic growth and personal development. I believe great schools are built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a shared commitment to doing whatever is necessary to help every child succeed.
Family, integrity, and impact continue to guide my leadership. I am committed to fostering a campus environment where students feel known and valued, teachers feel supported and empowered, and families feel welcomed as essential partners in the educational journey.
Together, we will continue to uphold the proud traditions of Beard Elementary while pursuing continuous improvement and innovation in teaching and learning. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this incredible community and look forward to the work we will accomplish together.
The Associate Principal also serves as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. They can be reached by email at bethany.reid@nisd.net or by phone at (210)397-6615.
I began my teaching career in the Northside Independent School District at Allen Elementary and gained experience and friends at other campuses while teaching both 2nd and 4th grade. In 2019 I was fortunate to begin serving Beard as the math specialist and moved to the role of GT specialist in 2021.
Since obtaining my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Abilene Christian University and earning my master's in Educational Administration from Lamar University, I have aspired to be a servant leader. I am honored to be a part of our Buckaroo family where we transform the learning experience for students, and I am excited to have the pleasure of working with such a wonderful community.
