Dear Families

sarahIt was a pleasure seeing many of you during our Back to School Night! It is always a great evening and I hope that you enjoyed it as well. If you couldn’t make it to the event, don’t worry. You can get in touch with your student’s teacher and he/she can send you the information that was provided to families.

I am pleased to share with you that Nurse Tracy Rose-Tynes, MS, BSN, RN will be coming to Amigos to answer your questions about the vaping crisis. On October 16 from 6-7PM she will speak with us and provide us with the most current research on vaping and the answers as to why this is such a dangerous addiction. I hope you can join us!

Our Upper School is looking to hire intramural coaches. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in coaching cross country, volleyball, basketball, or soccer please let us know! Intramurals are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-4:30. It is a great way to connect with the community.

Finally, please be reminded that no student should come to school with any type of over-the-counter or prescription medication. All medications need to go through the school nurse. This policy protects all of our students and allows the nurse to do her job effectively.

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

Estimadas Familias

sarahFue un placer ver a muchos de ustedes durante la Noche de Regreso a la Escuela. Siempre es un evento placentero y espero que lo hayan disfrutado también. Si usted no pudo asistir, no se preocupe. Puede ponerse en contacto con el/la profesor/a de su estudiante y ell@s les pueden mandar la información compartida con familias.

Me complace compartir con ustedes que la enfermera Tracy Rose-Tynes, MS, BSN, RN, vendrá a Amigos para responder a nuestras preguntas sobre la crisis de los e-cigarrillos. El 16 de octubre, de 6 a 7 de la tarde, hablará con nosotros y nos proporcionará los estudios más recientes sobre los e-cigarrillos y las respuestas sobre por qué es una adicción tan peligrosa. ¡Espero que puedan unirse a nosotros!

Nuestra escuela intermedia está buscando entrenadores deportivos. Si usted, o alguien que usted conoce, está interesad@ en ser entrenador de cross country, voleibol, baloncesto o fútbol, por favor háganos saberlo. Los deportes intramuros son los martes y jueves de 3:00-4:30. Es una gran manera de conectarse con la comunidad.

Finalmente, por favor, recuerden que ningún estudiante debe venir a la escuela con ningún tipo de medicamento de venta libre o recetado. Todos los medicamentos deben pasar por la enfermera de la escuela. Esta póliza protege a tod@s nuestr@s estudiantes y permite que la enfermera haga su trabajo efectivamente.

¡Gracias y que tengan un buen fin de semana!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Directora
