Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

Hopefully, during the past few months you have begun to receive text messages from the school. We most recently sent a reminder for Field Day. If you are not receiving our text messages and would like to please read the following from the district web page.
CPS offers a new text messaging service that will allow schools and CPS to send out important announcements and emergency alerts via text message. Current CPS families should have received a text message from 675-87 on Monday, October 30th, inviting you to opt in.

• If you did not receive the text, please contact the school so they can check your student's record.
• You may opt in to this service by responding to that text at any time.
• If you opted out but would like to subscribe, or if you lost the original message, you may text 675-87 at any time.

When a record is updated, or a family registers for the first time, an invitation will be sent by text within 1-2 business days. Again, the school clerk is the person who can make sure your student's information is correct in our system. We remind you to please check with your wireless carrier to determine any possible costs related to text messaging. CPS does not reimburse for any charges associated with sending or receiving text messages.
We are thrilled to announce that our graduating 8th grade students have earned the first ever Seal of Biliteracy!! The Seal of Biliteracy, either in the form of the Biliteracy Attainment Award or the Silver Seal of Biliteracy Award, serves as an official celebration and capstone of our students’ commitment and progress toward bilingualism and biculturalism at Amigos. This is a great honor for our graduating class and evidence of their amazing efforts learning in two languages.

The Seal of Biliteracy (http://sealofbiliteracy.org/) is an award in recognition of students who have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages in the 5th grade, 8th grade and upon graduation from high school. The Seal encourages students to pursue biliteracy and honors the skills our students attain at different stages of their path toward biliteracy. We look forward to honoring biliteracy with the Seal in years to come.

Today is the last day of school. It is an Early Release Day and students will get out at 12:55. Report cards and next year’s homeroom placements for will be sent home today as well. Class placement for new JK and K students will be sent out in August. If you have questions about homeroom placement, please see the April 6th newsletter.

Have a wonderful and safe summer!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

Estimadas Familias,

Con suerte, durante los últimos meses han comenzado a recibir mensajes de texto de la escuela. Recientemente, enviamos un mensaje recordándoles sobre “El día de juegos”. Si no reciben nuestros mensajes de texto y desean recibirlos, favor de leer lo siguiente de la página web del distrito.

CPS ofrece un nuevo servicio de mensajes de texto que permitirá a las escuelas y CPS enviar anuncios importantes y alertas de emergencia a través de mensajes de texto. Las familias actuales de CPS deberían haber recibido un mensaje de texto de 675-87 el lunes 30 de octubre, invitándolos a participar.

• Si no recibió el texto, comuníquese con la escuela para que puedan verificar el registro de su hijo.
• Puede optar por este servicio respondiendo a ese texto en cualquier momento.
• Si se excluyó pero desea suscribirse, o si perdió el mensaje original, puede enviar un mensaje de texto 675-87 en cualquier momento.

Cuando se actualiza un registro, o una familia se registra por primera vez, se enviará una invitación por mensaje de texto dentro de 1-2 días hábiles. Una vez más, la secretaria de la escuela es la persona que puede asegurarse de que la información de su hijo/a sea correcta en nuestro sistema. Les recordamos que consulten con su proveedor de servicios inalámbricos para determinar los posibles costos relacionados con los mensajes de texto. CPS no reembolsa los cargos asociados con el envío o recepción de mensajes de texto.
¡Nos da un gran placer anunciar que los estudiantes de 8vo grado de Amigos recibieron el Sello de (Bi)alfabetización por primera vez! El Sello de (Bi)alfabetización se les otorgó de dos maneras: como el Biliteracy Attainment Award (Distinción de Logro de (Bi)alfabetización) o el Silver Seal of Biliteracy Award (Distinción de Plata del Sello de (Bi)alfabetización). Ambas distinciones celebran y culminan su desarrollo hacia el bilingüismo y biculturalismo en Amigos. Es un gran honor para nuestros estudiantes de 8vo y muestra su increíble esfuerzo aprendiendo en dos idiomas.

El Sello de (Bi)alfabetización (http://sealofbiliteracy.org/) es una distinción que se otorga a estudiantes que han estudiado y logrado competencia lingüística en dos o más idiomas en el 5to, 8vo y 12mo grado. El Sello anima a los estudiantes a continuar con su progreso hacia la (bi)alfabetización y honra las destrezas nuestros estudiantes adquieren en distintas etapas de su camino hacia la (bi)alfabetización. Esperamos honrar la alfabetización bilingüe con el Sello por muchos años más.

Hoy es el último día de clases. Es un día de salida temprana y los estudiantes saldrán a las 12:55. Las calificaciones y las distribuciones de estudiantes por aula para el próximo año se enviarán a casa el último día de clases. Las listas de salón hogar para los nuevos estudiantes de JK y K se enviarán en agosto. Si tienen preguntas sobre las distribuciones de estudiantes por aula, consulten el boletín del 6 de abril.

¡Espero que tengan un verano maravilloso y seguro!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
