Paola Salinas, School Counselor

Dear Bronco Families,

My name is Paola Salinas, and I am incredibly grateful to be your school counselor this year. As a former Bronco myself, I could not be more excited to serve our community. I have been a part of McAllen ISD for 6 years. I have taught at the elementary level for four years and served as a Counselor for two years. Mrs. Mayra Lozano is our Intervention Counselor and will be working with your children on Mondays and Wednesdays. She comes to us with 16 years of experience in the education field and is beyond excited to have the opportunity to join our Bronco Family this school year!

As the School Counselors at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary, we will promote emotional intelligence (self awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills) at our campus through guidance lessons, group sessions, and individual counseling. Our Broncos know they can reach their counselors by using their QR code Counseling Self-Referral. At Roosevelt, we work closely together to ensure we meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students. Therefore, all staff members are able to refer a student to see a counselor through our Staff QR code Counseling Referral. We know that by working together, our Broncos will reach their full potential.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting with us, please feel free to contact us at (956) 971-4424, by email at paola.valdez@mcallenisd.net, or through Class Dojo.

We look forward to working with your child and making a difference in his or her life.

With much gratitude,

Paola Salinas & Mayra Lozano
