Estimadas Familias, 

Esta semana ha sido una de muchas emociones. Quiero que sepan que el miércoles por la mañana, tomamos tiempo para decirles a nuestros estudiantes que aquí en Amigos todos estamos seguros/as y respetados/as, que escuchamos nuestras diversas opiniones y que nuestras voces tienen poder. Estas creencias han sido y serán siempre el núcleo de nuestra comunidad Amigos.

La semana que viene empiezan las conferencias de maestros y padres. De nuevo comparto con ustedes una guía que creó nuestro comité de Comunidad y Familia el año pasado. Esperamos les sea útil durante las conferencias.

¡Que tengan un feliz fin de semana!

Atentamente, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero

Dear Families,

This week has been one of many emotions. I want you to know that on Wednesday morning, we took time to tell our students that here at Amigos we are all safe and respected, that we listen to our diverse opinions and that our voices have power. These beliefs have been and will always be at the core of our Amigos community. 

Our parent/teacher conferences start this coming week. Once again, I want to share with you the guide that our Family and Community Committee created for us last year. We hope you will find useful. 

Enjoy the long weekend!

Sincerely, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
