As always, we strive for an optimal learning environment for all of our FALCONS. Please take note of the campus activities headed our way this month.

Dear Falcon community,

Happy February! This month, our guidance lessons will be centered on Kindness, Love, and Friendship. Families are encouraged to discuss positive relationships and kindness with their middle schoolers. You are invited to participate in a kindness challenge! Not all acts of kindness require planning and advanced notice. In fact, people all over the world are spreading kindness right now, instinctively.

Foster a kindness habit in your children with these simple and spontaneous acts of compassion.

If your counselors can be of service, please contact us:

Mr. Lopez (A-L) Fabio.lopez@clint.net

Mrs. Luevano (M-Z) Sylvia.luevano@clint.net

For the safety of our students, please ensure that your child is in dress code. Every day, students should be wearing a polo shirt/spirit shirt and solid colored jeans or khaki/black/blue pants. On Thursdays, students may wear a college shirt if they have done. Torn jeans above the knee can only be worn with leggings under to prevent the exposure of skin. No hoodies without a full zipper/buttons will be allowed inside campus.

All of our students received free school supplies, backpack, and agenda on their first day of school. If your child needs any additional resource, please contact our school at 915-926-4800.
