Greetings families. As we approach our first major District benchmark exam, I implore you to use the dates school is closed for your appointments. There are plenty. These exist in part, so you can take your children to doctors’ appointments and have 3 day-weekends. Please resist pulling out your scholars on days school is in session. They miss valuable in-class instruction that cannot be made up with worksheets, or miss District assessments that cannot be made up. Thank you for putting instruction first. It has come to my attention that there are parents who come to the school to speak with me and hope I am available. DO NOT take such a chance, just get in contact with Mrs. Pacheco, my Administrative Assistant who can point you in the right direction and/or set up an appointment for you.

I leave you with the words of the poet José de Diego: If suffering comes unabated, If weariness weighs down your spirit, Do as the once barren tree: FLOURISH And like the planted seed: RISE Do as the river rich with new rainwater…GROW

BOOK POLICY We want each scholar to be constantly learning. In order to relentlessly give our scholars new information and vocabulary, every scholar will have at least one book in their possession at all times. EARLY PICK-UPS

When scholars leave early, they miss key instructional time. This can lead to students falling behind. For this reason, we encourage you to avoid taking your child out of school early. Please schedule appointments after school hours
