Message from the Principal
Closed Campus
As discussed in our 2 Coffee with the Principals and our 2 Parent Orientations, on Monday, our campus will be a closed campus by Parent and Teacher Request. Safety is always my #1 Priority.
I want to make sure everyone know a Closed Campus does not mean parents are not welcomed. Parents are always welcome at Soto Street because this is OUR SCHOOL. This is why I have promoted getting Parent Volunteers. This week alone, I processed 20 Parent Volunteer Applications. The Badge given will allow Parents safely on campus. We encourage all Parents to be Parent Volunteers!
If you are intersted in becoming a parent volunteer, please see Ms. Yboa our amazing Parent Representative! She's a pro at processing these applications!

Breakfast in the Classroom
It's amazing to see the Pavilion cleared and students in class learning right at 8:05am. Here at Soto Street, we teach Bell to Bell!
INSTRUCTIONAL UPDATES π
This week, students will be finishing up their Beginning of the Year Assessments. This will help us develop a plan of action for instrution for all students. At Back to School night, we will be providing you with a hard copy of the results of your childs results.
UPDATES
1. We now have a water dispenser. Please send canteens!
2. Please be sure to write your child's name on sweaters and any other item you send. This will help us make sure it gets back to them, as frequently children will accidentally leave them on the ground.
3. We encourage all students to wear their SOTO Pride Shirt on Fridays! All students who ordered a T-Shirt this week,l will receive theirs by next Friday.
