Estimadas familias,

Sé que la seguridad escolar ha estado en nuestras mentes en las últimas semanas y les animo a que lean, si aún no lo han hecho, el mensaje reciente del Superintendente Salim sobre la creación de seguridad en nuestras escuelas. En momentos como estos, es aún más importante unirnos como comunidad mientras trabajamos para crear el mundo que queremos para nuestro futuro.

Hoy tomaré un momento para repasar nuestros protocolos de seguridad para el edificio. Como siempre, se les pide a todos los visitantes utilizar la entrada principal al edificio tanto para la entrada como para la salida y obtener un pase de visitante en la oficina principal. Este protocolo está alineado con el protocolo del distrito que dicta lo siguiente: Se requiere que cada visitante que entre a una escuela pública de Cambridge durante el horario escolar se registre en la oficina de entrada. Luego de firmar, indicar a quién vienen a visitar y el propósito de la visita y de mostrar un documento de identidad, se le emitirá un pase de visitante. Las personas que visiten la escuela deben llevar puesto el pase de visitante mientras permanezcan en el edificio y devolverlo cuando firmen su salida al retirarse. Ninguna puerta del edificio debe ser apoyada abierta o dejada sin llave. Con la seguridad de todos nuestros alumnos y del personal en mente, les pido que sigan este protocolo y que se ocupen de recordarse mutuamente de su importancia.

Marzo es un mes muy ocupado. Tenemos mucho tiempo para enseñar y aprender y los exámenes MCAS están en nuestro horizonte. La Asociación para la Educación Bilingüe Multiestado (MABE) lleva a cabo su conferencia anual cada marzo. Este año, la conferencia tomará lugar en la Escuela Unidos en Somerville. Como parte de la conferencia, Amigos abrirá sus puertas a los asistentes MABE el 22 y 23 de marzo. También vamos a enviar un equipo de maestros para asistir a la conferencia el sábado, 24 de marzo. Las familias deben saber que la conferencia está abierta a los padres, tutores y guardianes. Por favor, me dejan saber si quieren asistir a la conferencia, tengo algunas entradas gratis para los padres.

¡Nuestra tercera anual Noche Multicultural está por llegar! Tendrá lugar el sábado 10 de marzo de 4 a 7:30PM. El Consejo Estudiantil, Amigos de Amigos, el Comité Social y Cultural han trabajado arduamente para tener todo listo. ¡Va a ser un gran evento!

¡Espero que tengan un maravilloso fin de semana!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Directora

Dear Families,

I know that school security has been on all our minds over the past few weeks and I encourage you to read Superintendent Salim’s recent message about creating safety in our schools if you have not done so yet. In moments like these, it is even more important to come together as a community as we work to create the world we want for our future.

Today, I will take a few moments to review our building protocols. As always, all visitors are asked to use the main entrance to the building for both entry and exit and to get a visitor’s pass from the main office. This protocol is aligned with the district protocol, which reads as follows: Every visitor entering a Cambridge Public School during school hours is required to check in at the Safety Desk/ Main Office at the Main Entrance. After signing in, stating whom they wish to visit, the purpose of their visit and showing proof of identity a visitor’s pass will be issued. They will be asked to wear the visitor’s pass while they are in the building and return the pass and sign out when they leave. No doors in the building should ever be propped open or left unlocked. With the safety and security of students and staff in mind, I ask that everyone follow this protocol and work to remind one another of its importance.

March is a busy month. We have a lot of time for teaching and learning and we have MCAS on the horizon. The Multistate Association for Bilingual Education (MABE) also holds its annual conference each March. This year the conference is being held at the Unidos School in Somerville. As part of the conference, Amigos will be opening its doors to MABE attendees on March 22nd and 23rd. We will also be sending a team of teachers to attend the conference on Saturday, March 24. Families should know that the conference is open to parents, guardians and caregivers as well. Please let me know if you would like to attend the conference, I have a few free tickets for parents.

Our third annual Amigos Multicultural Night is around the corner! It will take place on Saturday, March 10 from 4-7:30 pm. The Student Council, Friends of Amigos, the Social and Cultural Committee have worked very hard to get everything ready. It is going to be a great event!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal
