Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at R.D. Martinez Elementary!
My name is Miss T. Alaniz, and I am honored to serve as a 4th grade Bilingual Teacher. I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where all students can thrive.
I am a proud alumna of Sharyland ISD, having attended the district from Pre-K through 12th grade and graduating from Sharyland High School in 2011. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitative Services from the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA) in 2015, followed by a Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) in 2016.
This marks my ninth year at R.D. Martinez Elementary. Throughout my career, I have taught both 4th and 6th grades, and I was honored to be recognized as R.D. Martinez Elementary’s 2023-2024 Teacher of the Year.
I believe that every student has the ability to succeed when provided with the right support, encouragement, and high expectations. I am excited to partner with students, parents, and colleagues to ensure a successful and rewarding school year.
