Ms. Kandice Koch
Hello Las Lomas Families! 🦁❤️
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! My name is Kandice Koch, and I have the privilege of being your child's 5th grade teacher this school year! This is my 15th year in education, 12th year with NEISD, and my 3rd year at Las Lomas. During my teaching experience, I have taught Kinder, 1st, 4th, 5th, and I was also a Reading Instructional Coach. I love to be involved as much as possible with my students, inside and outside their education. Over the years, I have been a sponsor of Cheer Club, Book Club, Drama Club, Student Council, and the Student 2 Student program to help support military families.
I completed my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership in May 2022 at The University of Texas San Antonio, and I will be completing my Master's in Technology Instruction and Design in December 2025. When I am not diving into all things related to reading, writing, and technology, I spend most of my time with my family, friends, and my fur child, Scooter. I am very fortunate to have a lot of family right here in San Antonio!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or comments that you may have throughout the school year. Building relationships is very important to me and my door is always open. I believe communication between teachers, parents, and students is one of the biggest keys to success. It is my passion to learn all about your children and help them grow as a person and as a leader. I look forward to an exciting year making memories and helping your child reach their full personal potential. 😊
