Dear Menchaca Families,
With a grateful heart, I want to share that my time at Menchaca Early Childhood Center is coming to an end. After 4 incredible years—first serving as Assistant Principal and then as Academic Dean—I have accepted a position with Seguin ISD to be closer to home and family. My last day at Menchaca will be Friday, February 21st.
It has been an absolute privilege to be part of this school community, working alongside dedicated educators, supportive families, and the wonderful young learners who make Menchaca such a special place. The relationships I have built here and the memories I take with me will always hold a special place in my heart.
Though this transition is bittersweet, I know that Menchaca will continue to thrive, providing a nurturing and inspiring environment for all students. Thank you for your support, kindness, and partnership throughout my time here.
Regards,
Genaro Mendoza
National School Resource Officer Day - Feb 15
We want to give a huge shoutout to Officer Orta, who plays an essential role in keeping our Menchaca Early Childhood Center family safe, supported, and cared for every single day!
Officer Orta, your dedication, kindness, and commitment to our students and staff do not go unnoticed. From ensuring our campus remains a safe space for learning to building positive relationships with our little learners, you make a lasting impact in so many ways.
Thank you for all that you do!
We are thrilled to share that Ms. Janalyn Torres has been promoted from receptionist to PEIMS Clerk (Registration/Attendance)! While she takes on this new role, she will continue to be the warm and welcoming face in our front office that our Menchaca ECC family knows and loves.
Ms. Torres has always gone above and beyond to support our students, families, and staff, and we know she will continue to do amazing things in this new position. If you see her, be sure to congratulate her on this well-deserved achievement!
To ensure student safety and proper supervision, all students must be picked up no later than 3:00 PM.
Dismissal begins each day at 2:30 P.M. and as a courtesy to parents runs until 3:00 P.M. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur, but if you are running late, please contact the front office as soon as possible at 210-882-1610
Sending someone new to pick up your child? Make sure they have the proper pick-up tag!
For the safety of all students, all vehicles must display the correct pick-up tag. If a tag is not present, the driver will be directed to the front office for an ID check before the student is released. Remember additional tags can be purchased in the front office for $5.00 Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe!
Attendance Affects School Funding
Every school day counts—not just for your child’s learning, but also for our school’s funding. In Texas, public schools receive funding based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA), which means that each day a student is absent, the school loses funding.
💰 Why does this matter?
The funding our school receives helps provide important resources like teachers, classroom materials, and student programs. When students miss school, it directly impacts the financial support available to enhance their learning experience.
🏫 What can you do?
- Make school attendance a priority.
- Schedule appointments outside of school hours when possible.
- Encourage your child to attend, even on non-instructional days.
We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or emergencies. If your child must be absent, be sure to send a note to the school to ensure proper documentation. Thank you for your partnership in making every school day count!
