Principal's Message
Greeting families,
I hope you are having a great weekend.
First, I want to inform everyone that I sent an email with important information about changes in our after-school care. If you are one of our families that uses this service, please read the email for more details. We will meet on Monday, January 30th, 2023, at 6:00 PM to introduce the new provider. I included the Zoom information in the "resources you can use section" of the newsletter for easy reference.
Our PTO has been very active, and our students and families will have the opportunity to engage in community outreach by doing Valentine's cards for the hospital. They will provide more details on their news. Also, remember that they will host a virtual meeting on February 9th at 6:00 PM. They will share more information via their newsletter and Class Dojo.
This week, kinder and first grade will work on the Science and Wellness SB9 curriculum lessons. You had the opportunity to opt in or out of these lessons. Per SBDM's request, I am attaching the link to the curriculum by grade level as posted on the TEA website. Please, review the resources you can use section for the link.
Last, this week will celebrate our 100 days of school, and I can wait to see our scholars engage in our celebration.
If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate and ask.
Thanks for choosing us!
Kind Regards,
Roberto Gonzalez

Uniform Policy
Please, remember to review our uniform policy. If possible, allow your children to wear tennis shoes as they do physical activity during the day, which can result in injuries if the child is not wearing appropriate shoes.
Also, remember the colors to wear on the pants, shorts, skirts, and jumpers.
Thank you so much for your help

Digital Library Resources
We want to share these digital resources with you. Unfortunately, we have yet to get access to some resources as we do not have a librarian, but I am working on it. Please email me if you need help with any resources.

Note: Your child's teacher can provide a district ID number.

Social and Emotional Learning (S.E.L)
We are proud to be a campus that works in Social and Emotional practices with our students. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) builds the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that both students and adults need to be successful in school, work, and life. They include things such as knowing and controlling your emotions, teamwork, understanding others, making positive choices, and resilience.
There are four signature practices that the school follows:
Morning Meetings
Mood Meter
Respect Agreements
Calming Corners
If you want to know more about our signature practices click HERE
Breathing Strategy of the Week
Last week we practiced belly breathing as our SEL focus on the Morning Announcements. Practice this breathing strategy at home when your child needs a moment to calm down or refocus.
S.E.L Home connections
As you may have heard, flu cases have spiked and many urgent care centers as well as ER departments are overwhelmed with the surge of RSV and respiratory illnesses. Many schools are also experiencing an excessive number of absences. By partnering with Children’s Health School-Based Telehealth they can offer your students easy and convenient access to health care in both school and home settings.
Through the School Telehealth program, they also offer flu and strep testing, at no additional cost to families. The school nurses deliver the tests during the telehealth exam.
If you have questions, please contact nurse Zuniga:
