From the Desk of: Ms. L. Flores

Welcome Students, Staff, Parents and Community, to another exciting school year! Our Meet the Teacher/ 1st Progress Report Night will be held on Wednesday, September 5th from 4:30p.m. to 6:30p.m. This is a great opportunity for parents to visit with teachers. We believe that together we can better prepare our students with all the important assessments they will be taking. Our instruction starts at 8:20a.m. and dismissal for students is 4:00p.m. Please assure your son/daughter comes to school everyday on time. Also, please review the school calendar for important upcoming events and meetings. We thank you for your continuous support in the education of our students and look forward to Building Tomorrow Together.
