The Toro Times

Dear Toro Families,

We had a tremendous turn-out for our Back to School Night! Thank you to our families that were able to be there-we know what scheduling it can take to move around normal life activities to attend school events. Check out the video highlights below!

Beginning this week, we will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Lunchtime activities and morning announcements will include facts, information and ways to honor and celebrate the many Latinos that have contributed to our world to make it a better place for all of us.

Toros earned a Free Dress last Friday and we loved seeing them in their cute fits. We will be offering another opportunity for our scholars to earn a Free Dress-stay tuned. School uniform will be back in place again for Monday.

With Toro Tenacity,

Dr. Mónica Luther

Principal

Thank you for reviewing our school's Cell Phone and Dress Code policies with your student.

We appreciate your support to ensure we are prioritizing an academic and healthy social emotional environment for our students.

Student cell phones are allowed, but must be kept off in and in the backpack at all times. Should a parent or guardian need to contact a student during the school day, they can do so by contacting the main office. Students also have access to the office phones as needed. Students violating the cell phone policy will have their phones confiscated. In the event a student’s cell phone is confiscated, it will be held in the attendance office and must be picked up by the student’s parent or guardian. LOST or STOLEN personal items are NOT the responsibility of the school to locate or replace.

School Uniforms and PE Clothes are available for purchase in the front office.

**Website for purchase COMING SOON

Further Information can be found in our student handbook, linked above.
