Rosalba Martinez, Principal
Welcome back parents and students!
I am excited to start a new school year at Sanchez-Ochoa Elementary school!
On August 15, 2019, we received the State Accountability Report from the Texas Education Agency. This report showed that Sanchez-Ochoa is an EXEMPLARY CAMPUS! With an “A” Rating, it is evidenced that our instruction has influenced student performance. In addition, our school has received 5 STAAR Distinctions! Distinctions are designations that show that the school is out-performing similar campuses across the state. We received Distinctions in Math, Science, Top 25% Student Progress, Top 25% Comparative Academic Growth and Post-Secondary Readiness. You can read more at https://tea.texas.gov/
A few reminders about the policies and procedures that we have in place. Breakfast is served in the cafeteria from 7:30 am -7:50 am for students in 1st through 5th grade and in the classroom for PK through Kinder students. All students enter through the Cafeteria doors except Pre-Kinder students. Classes begin at 7:45 AM and students arriving after 8:00 am will be marked Tardy. Also, students are dismissed at different gates of the school so please familiarize yourselves with the different exits. Gates will close at 7:45 am for morning arrival and 3:00 pm for pick up. Pre-Kinder students are dismissed at 3:20 pm Monday through Thursday and at 3:00 pm on Fridays. All other students are dismissed at 3:30 pm on Monday-Thursday and at 3:15 pm on Friday. There is no Early Dismissal in the front office 30 minutes before dismissal.
For safety purposes, all visitors are required to use the buzzer and intercom at front doors, show a valid Identification card and state the reason for visiting the campus. We will not release students to adults without identification.
Also for safety reasons, the LISD Police Department will assist with dismissal. Reminder to cross at crosswalks, park in available spaces and watch out for students.
Parents, the weather has been very hot. Please bring water and use umbrellas to keep students protected.
We will announce Birthdays every day through our V-Brick System. The video announcements are shown on our YouTube channel. Birthday cupcakes and juices permitted the last Friday of the Month from 2:30-3:00 pm.
If you have any question, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Rosalba Martinez
Principal
