It's hard to believe, but it's already the last month of the 2022-2023 school year. We would like to thank all of you for partnering with us this year. We love your children and are honored to have been able to be part of your lives.

STAAR testing is scheduled for May 2, and May 9. We will be a "closed campus" on those dates, which means we cannot have any visitors at all on the campus at all during the day. Families may walk children to class, but we cannot have visitors for lunch or any other reason.

Please join us on May 11 from 5:30-7:30 for our annual Fuentes Fine Arts Showcase! Classrooms will be open only from 5:30-6:00. From 6:00-7:30, experience the art show and other fine arts activities that your children participate in while at school.

Please remember that 2:00pm is the deadline to pick up children early from school. Also, if you need to make a transportation change, please call the front office directly before 1:00pm so that we have plenty of time to ensure the teachers know about changes. Please do not contact teachers directly to make transportation changes because you run the risk of the teacher not getting your message in time for dismissal.

This summer San Marcos Youth Theatre will be at Hill Country Church with week-long theatre summer camps. These camps will allow students to create and perform in a safe environment with a performance at the end of the week. Ages run from 6 years old to 18 years old. Summer camp themes this year are Hamilton, mean girls, Matilda, little mermaid, and wicked. Registration information is at sanmarcosyouththeatre.com. All camps will take place at Hill Country Church.

Reminder - Please note and follow the signage in the front parking lot indicating that the front parking row is closed to vehicles between 6:50am-7:15am and 2:15pm-3:30pm. Please make sure anyone who picks up your child knows the safety protocols. This is to ensure safety of our students walking during drop-off and pick-up hours.

If your child is missing an item (clothing, water bottle, etc.), please have him/her check the "lost and found." All unclaimed items will be donated on March 31.

YEARBOOKS ARE NOW FOR SALE! Buy yours today! Yearbooks are $25 and parent messages are only $5! Use the QR code below. Email Laura.Cobb@hayscisd.net if you have questions.

If you have extra "break-away" lanyards for ID badges that you would like to donate, we will take them! Please feel free to drop them in the front office! We're trying to not have to charge students for lanyards because they tend to break, but at the replacement rate, we might have to charge!

Almost all students now have a student ID. Badges are to be worn at all times.

Bus riders have 2 - one stays on the backpack and one stays on the child at school. Badges should not leave school, but please make sure your child returns with the badge if s/he accidentally takes it home.

If a child needs to replace the badge, the cost is $5.

Never worry about missing an email. You can get text messages for updates and reminders now from Fuentes by joining our Remind text group.

Simply text the message - @fuentesfam - to 81010. You will then receive text messages from us - so much easier and faster to receive than emails.

Check out our school store and stock up on your Fuentes Flair! Last year's staff shirts are included ... they're super cute!
