Estimadas familias, 

Ya que están acercando las vacaciones de diciembre, quisiera recordarles a ustedes nuestros protocolos de vacaciones extendidas. Si usted piensa viajar con su familia por un periodo extendido, debe de notificar con antelación las fechas de su viaje a la directora y l@s maestr@s de salón hogar. Todo el trabajo académico asignado por l@s profesores debe ser completado durante o después del tiempo de viaje. También es importante reconocer que cualquier estudiante que pierde tiempo significativo de instrucción, aprendizaje y de evaluaciones podría retrasarse en sus calificaciones y progreso académico. Como escuela aspiramos a mantener un índice de asistencia general de 96%.

Este jueves, nuestr@s estudiantes del 7mo y 8vo grados tienen su exhibición de trabajo estudiantil. Estarán presentando trabajos interactivos que iluminan la importancia de las voces cívicas y la situación migratoria en los Estados Unidos. Esperamos que nos puedan acompañar para celebrar el aprendizaje y el trabajo de nuestros jóvenes.

¡Que tengan un maravilloso fin de semana!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Directora

Dear Families,

With our December vacation approaching, I want to remind you of our protocol for extended vacations. If you are planning to travel for an extended period of time, the principal and classroom teachers must be notified in advance of travel dates. All academic work assigned by teachers will need to be made up before, during or after travel. It is also important to recognize that students who miss significant amounts of instruction, learning and assessment may fall behind in their grades. As a school, we aim to have an overall attendance rate of 96%.

This Thursday, our 7th and 8th grade students have their fall student work exhibit. They will be presenting interactive works that illuminate the importance of civic voices and the immigration situation in the United States. We hope you will join us in celebrating the learning and work of our young people.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal
