Dear Families
 I hope to see you all at our Latinx Heritage Celebration tonight from 6-8PM. A I mentioned last week, we will have live music, a student performance, childcare and activities for Jk-5 students. You are encouraged to bring a dish to share but if you can't, we will be providing food as well. Please remember that for their safety, children must remain with parents at all times or participate in classroom activities. Students must not be outside of the school building without supervision or in unauthorized parts of the building.
At the ASC meeting this past Wednesday, we heard from Nurse Tracy Rose-Tynes about the vaping crisis. She gave an excellent presentation and provided attendees with lots of information. One of the most important take-aways is that we have to educate our young people on the dangers of vaping and we need to start before they get to middle school. For resources about what parents should know:
For resources about support/quitting:
At Back To School Night, many of you showed interest in Spanish Classes for Amigos parents. We are in the beginning stages of making this a reality and with your help, it could be up and running shortly. Please know that the aim would be for these classes to be accessible to ALL interested Amigos families. We are dedicated to addressing financial barriers so that we can include any parent from our school who is interested in participating. If you are interested, please take a moment to fill out the form below. It will help us to better design a program that meets your needs.

See you at the Fiesta!

Estimadas Familias
Espero verlos a todos en nuestra Celebración de la Herencia Latinx esta noche de 6-8PM. Como mencioné la semana pasada, tendremos música en vivo, una presentación estudiantil, cuidado de niños y actividades para l@s estudiantes de Jk-5. Les animamos a que traigan un plato para compartir, pero si no puede, también estaremos ordenando comida. Por favor recuerden que por su seguridad, l@s niñ@s deben permanecer con sus padres/madres/guardianes en todo momento o participar en las actividades en los salones de clases. L@s estudiantes no deben estar fuera del edificio de la escuela sin supervisión o en partes no autorizadas del edificio.
En la reunión del ASC el miércoles pasado, la enfermera Tracy Rose-Tynes nos habló de la crisis de vapor/e-cigarrillo. Hizo una excelente presentación y proporcionó mucha información a l@s que atendieron. Uno de los detalles más importantes que compartió es que tenemos que educar a nuestros jóvenes sobre los peligros de los vapores/e-cigarrillos y tenemos que empezar antes de ell@s llegar a la escuela intermedia. Para recursos sobre lo que las familias deben saber:
Para recursos sobre apoyo/renuncia:
En la Noche de Regreso a la Escuela, muchos de ustedes mostraron interés en clases de español para las familias de Amigos. Estamos en las etapas iniciales de hacer esto una realidad y con su ayuda, podría estar en marcha pronto. Por favor sepan que el objetivo sería que estas clases sean accesibles a TODAS las familias interesadas de Amigos. Estamos dedicados a abordar las barreras financieras para que podamos incluir a cualquier padre/madre/guardian de nuestra escuela que esté interesad@ en participar. Si está interesad@, por favor, tómese un momento para rellenar el siguiente formulario. Nos ayudará a diseñar mejor un programa que satisfaga sus necesidades.
