Estimados padres/tutores,
¡Estamos encantados de lo bien que les fue a nuestros pequeños Jaguares en las primera semanas de clases! Gracias por la paciencia y el apoyo, ya que muchos hicieron la transición a una nueva escuela, con nuevos maestros y nuevos compañeros de clase. Tenemos por delante una semana corta, pero con mucho que cubrir. Pronto comenzaremos nuestros clubes y brindaremos la información de contacto de los patrocinadores de este año si desea unirse a nuestras actividades extracurriculares. Además, comenzaremos a administrar evaluaciones de diagnóstico BOY (principio de año) para poder garantizar que la instrucción se adapte a las necesidades de todos los estudiantes. Como siempre, estamos aquí para trabajar con usted para que este sea un año escolar exitoso con grandes experiencias y crecimiento para todos los estudiantes. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, no dude en llamarme y programar una cita o enviarme un correo electrónico a: erika.salinas2@mcallenisd.net
Respetuosamente,
Erika B. Salinas

Dates to remember
Coaches Corner
Parents, welcome to another school year! The P.E. department aims to keep all students active in a safe and comfortable environment. With that in mind please make sure students come to school with proper tennis shoes and dressed appropriately for active participation. Please remind students the weather is very hot and if they choose to bring sweaters to leave them in the classroom when headed to P.E. and recess. We are keeping an eye on the weather using the Perry Weather app and in compliance with district policy for the extra hot days.
5th Grade students please prepare for our upcoming Elevate seasons. Volleyball and Flag Football registrations will begin on Monday, September 2nd. The coaches will be sending more information via Remind so please make sure we have your information if we didn't see you on meet the teacher night. If you have any questions please e-mail me at albert.alvarez@mcallenisd.net.
