1st Grade Teachers

Tracy Tran

Ms. Tracy has been teaching since 2012 and enjoys the adventure with her little first graders! She is honored to have received the award of "Teacher of Promise" during the school year of 2013-2014. Ms. Tracy was a special education teacher assistant for a year at Summitt and a substitute teacher in Pflugerville ISD for two years before she officially started teaching in the classroom. She attended Texas State University and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Education. Ms. Tracy is certified to teach ESL/Vietnamese Bilingual for grades EC-6. When she's not in her "second home" AKA the classroom, she enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, watching sports, being active, shopping, being a foodie and crafting.

Suzanne Skalaban

When not teaching, Ms. Suzanne is a wife and mother of four children, ranging in age from a freshman at Texas Tech University, to a fourth grader at Summitt. Her junior at Anderson High is the eldest of the three girls, and an eighth grader at Murchison Middle School completes the family.
Before children, she earned a Journalism degree from UT and a Teaching Certificate from Texas State. She taught fourth grade in the Lake Travis School District for six years before ‘retiring’ to raise my children. For the next twelve years, Ms. Suzanne tutored and worked in preschools. When her youngest, Ellie, started kindergarten at Summitt, she began substituting at Summitt. All of her children have attended Summitt K-5, so she is a proud parent and community member too. Ms. Suzanne has been teaching at Summitt since 2011. If you haven’t noticed Ms. Suzanne before, you might see her walking around the neighborhood, working in her yard, relaxing at the library or swimming pool, and shopping at HEB.
