Rosalba Martinez, Principal
Fall is here! With the Fall Season comes the change of
weather and we begin to feel cooler mornings and not-so-hot afternoons. For our
school, it also signals the start of a 2nd six weeks, beginning of
year testing and extra-curricular activities!
I encourage all parents to review your child’s report card.
Check to see that grades are above a 70 and that absences are less than three.
If you have any grade below a 70, schedule a parent-teacher conference and find
out why your child is failing. Likewise, if your child has more than three absences,
schedule a meeting with the teacher or the administrator in charge of
attendance. Remember to send doctor’s notes or written excuses for absences. Keep
in mind that a student with two or more absences in a month is predicted to be
identified as a “chronically absent” by the end of the school year if the
pattern continues. According to research, chronically absent students tend to
drop out of high school and/or struggle academically.
Our newsletter includes the dates for athletic events this
month. I recommend you see our students in action as they participate in
Volleyball and Flag Football. Great job coaches, students and parents.
I encourage all parents to help with our fundraisers. At
this time, we have our ice cream sales outside the gym (after school) and we
are selling spirit t-shirts and jackets too! T-shirt orders are already due.
Please call the office.
We celebrate birthday’s every day! However, the last Friday
of the month is designated as a day for classroom birthday celebrations. Only
store bought cupcakes and juices are allowed.
As always, thank you for all your support.
Sincerely,
Rosalba Martinez
Principal
