Youngblood Community News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we transition into the beautiful season of Fall, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the exciting new beginnings that this time of year brings. With the upcoming changing leaves and cooler temperatures, we are reminded of the opportunities for growth, both in nature and within our school community.

The start of this season marks an important time for our students. It's a chance to embrace new learning experiences, set fresh goals, and continue building strong relationships with their peers and teachers. Our staff is fully committed to making sure each student feels supported, inspired, and motivated to achieve their best.

We have a number of exciting events and programs planned for the coming months, including Family Literacy Night, Fall Festival, sports, and other events. These experiences are designed to enrich our students' education and create lasting memories during this vibrant time of year.

As always, your partnership is key to our success. We encourage you to stay involved, whether by attending school events, joining parent-teacher conferences, or simply engaging in conversations about your child's day at school. Together, we can ensure a fulfilling and productive fall season for all of our students.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to an inspiring and successful season ahead.

Warm regards,
Cassandra Dyson
Principal
Youngblood Intermediate

Dear Parents: According to state policy, we are required to have a parent of an English learner who participates in a Bilingual education or English as a Second Language (ESL) program serve on our school’s Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC). The LPAC serves as the advocate for English learners to make certain they receive the appropriate services.

We are asking for parent volunteers who would be willing to serve as our parent member of the LPAC. You will receive training at the first LPAC meeting and then be asked to assist the team in identifying and placing students in the appropriate program for language development and academic success.

In addition, parent volunteers will participate in annual reviews and other meetings, as necessary, to ensure student progress.

If you would be willing to serve on the LPAC, or if you have any questions, please contact Sonja Nitsch at 281-983-8020 ext. 24585.

Estimados Padres: De acuerdo con la ley estatal tenemos la obligación de que un padre de un aprendiz del idioma inglés que participe en el programa bilingüe o el programa de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL, por sus siglas en inglés) sea un representante en el comité de evaluación de la competencia lingüística (LPAC, por sus siglas en inglés) de nuestra escuela. El LPAC representa los intereses de los aprendices de inglés para asegurarse que reciban los servicios educativos apropiados.

Estamos solicitando padres de familia que estén dispuestos a participar como voluntarios en el comité LPAC. Recibirán entrenamiento durante la primera reunión del LPAC y después se les pedirá su ayuda para identificar y recomendar el programa apropiado que asegure el desarrollo del idioma y el éxito académico de los estudiantes.

Así mismo si es necesario, los padres voluntarios participarán en juntas adicionales para reevaluar el progreso del estudiante.

Si están dispuestos a participar en el LPAC, o si tiene preguntas, favor de comunicarse con Sonja Nitsch a 281-983-8020 ext. 24585.
