IMPORTANT INFORMATION
  • Sweaters/Jackets and Other Objects: we ask parents (especially the Elementary parents) to label all their child’s belongings with a permanent marker. This makes it easier for us to help you look for things if they are misplaced or lost. Furthermore, we ask for your cooperation by sending back with your child any item he/she brings home that does not belong to him, and to notify the homeroom teacher about it (by text message, email or phone call).
  • Parent Workshop: Our school counselor, Ms. Ivonne Casco, will be hosting a workshop for parents on Friday, January 20, at 1:30 p.m. Information will be posted on her blog.
  • Report Cards and Conferences: Report Cards will be issued on Friday, January 13. This is an early dissmissal (AM Schedule) day for students. Conferences are on an ‘as-needed’ basis.
