Mrs. Sofia Gilliland
This 2019-2020 school year has come off to a great start! I am really enjoying each and everyone of my fourth grade students.
I am so blessed to be able to shape and educate these special children. I am very excited to meet new faces every year with new ideas and experiences. It's always a pleasure and I look forward to getting to know my student's families. I know that together we will have a very productive school year filled with many learning opportunities. I will be sending home a weekly newsletter and if you miss it, please look online under Bentsen's faculty for my name where you will find updates as well.
This marks my 29th year in education. I have truly enjoyed each and every year. Sharyland ISD 15 years and McAllen ISD for 13 years. I have taught grades K-6. I am here to make this sixth grade year as productive and meaningful as I can and together we will made a difference.
I am married and have two handsome sons, one yet in college. I also have two active dogs and two lazy cats. I enjoy exercising, spending time with my family, cooking and gardening. I enjoy traveling and learning about new places.
Teaching has always been a passion for me while being very rewarding. I truly enjoy getting to know each student and proud to be a part of their educational experience.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns through email or call to schedule a conference. My conference time is 11:15-12:00. Wednesdays are reserved for grade level meetings on campus.
There are a few changes lunch and pick up procedures so be sure to read parent/student handbook.
