Meet the Assistant Principal
Shashi Panatpur
Hello! My name is Shashi Panatpur. I am so excited to be a member of the Mustang Family at Las Colinas Elementary! This is my 33rd year as an educator, and still going strong!
I have a double Master’s Degree in Child Development and School Administration. My husband Bala, is a Senior Principal Architect with a degree in Computer Engineering. We have two girls. Our first born is a resident doctor specializing in Pediatric Cardiology at Baylor Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston after having graduated from Texas Academy of Math & Science with a Neuro Science Major, UT Austin Neuroscience, and UT Southwestern Medical School. My second born works with Deloitte having graduated from McCombs School of Business, UT Austin majoring in Computer Science and Management Information Systems. The most important and adorable member of our family is Rusky, our Pomapoo, who is 11 years old!
I taught Middle School Math at Odom Academy, Beaumont ISD, Texas for 7 years, Math/Science teacher at Dan D. Rogers Elementary, DISD for 4 years, Math/Science at Carrollton Elementary CFB ISD for 12 years. This is when the call for Administrative Leadership came along! Here I am today at Las Colinas! I would like to make one promise for sure… to put my best foot forward to learn and lead as I work with each one of you for the success of those young minds that walk through the doors of CFBISD at Las Colinas and then out into the real world! My contact information is panatpurs@cfbisd.edu (972-968-2219) if you need anything at all. Looking forward to seeing our young Mustangs learn and grow each academic year!
