A little bit about me...

I am a proud graduate from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Science. My passion resides in working with and teaching children at the primary level. I have 4 children of my own and cherish every minute with them.

I began my education experience here at Major Elementary August of 2013. I was a classroom teacher for many of those years. I am now the campus Student Support Specialist helping to serve our At Risk and RtI students as well as supporting teachers to address any behavior or academic concerns. I believe in investing in children whole-heartedly because they are our future! Please fill free to email me at any time for any questions or concerns about your child's progress in school.

Hi, my name is Alyce Swinburne. I have my Bachelors Degree in Education from the University of Houston Downtown. This will be my 15th year in education. I've taught kindergarten to 2nd grade language arts. I spent most of my teaching career in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Last year I was an Early Literacy Interventionist at Hirsch Elementary here in Spring ISD. I'm looking forward to being the Language Arts Instructional Specialist here at Major Elementary. I also have many other years in other forms of education before I started teaching. My goal this year is to help other educators with their instructional practices in order to see success with their students. 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and adorable yet crazy dog Hammy. I love to travel, do photography, fish, swim, watch sports, try out new restaurants, tell funny life stories, and do adventurous things like parasailing.
