Mrs. Liz Bender

I am thrilled to be returning as the team lead for PreKindergarten this year!  Although my journey was somewhat long and winding, I truly have found my home here at Mathews Elementary.  I graduated from Southern Methodist University with my BBA in accounting.  After years as a CPA, Information Systems Consultant, and then a stay-at-home mom, I finally found my true passion in the classroom.  When I'm not with my Mathews' family, I'm at home here in Plano with my husband and our two playful labs, Rose and Dixie.  My daughter, Emma, is studying veterinarian medicine at  Texas A&M in College Station, and my son, Jack, is at the University of Oklahoma in pursuit of his Master’s degree in accounting.  They both attended Mathews for elementary school, so we have many fond memories of this wonderful school, and I'm happy to be a Mathews Maverick!


Parents, did you know you can review your child's instructional materials and instructional plans? In accordance with Texas Senate Bill 12, we're making it easier than ever to stay informed!Here's what you need to know:

·       A copy of my instructional plan is available on the district website at https://www.pisd.edu/students-families-a6/instructionalplans

·       You can review many of the digital instructional materials used in class directly through your student's digital webdesk. If you'd like to review additional materials or tests after they've been administered, please contact me.
