Principal’s Message

The month of February seems to be passing even more quickly than January! This upcoming Thursday we have our second state-mandated 'Resiliency Day' and progress reports for the 3rd nine-week quarter were posted to Skyward Family Access last week on Thursday (2-minute parent video on accessing progress reports through Skyward). 

If you have yet to review your student's progress report with them, please do so over the three-day Presidents' Day weekend. Mid February is an excellent time to discuss academic progress so far this quarter and to also talk about any personal goals your student may have set out at the beginning of the new year. When our parents/guardians take even just a few minutes each week to discuss classwork and progress vs. personal goals, student performance is most favorably affected.

We are moving full steam ahead through quarter three. At this point, we have passed the halfway point of the quarter and I continue to see amazing things in our classrooms on a day to day basis. Everyday I am grateful for the wonderful teachers that we have here on campus. I have a selfless group of professionals who pour positive energy into our students and show tenacity and grit in our pursuit of excellence. This was on display at our Pop-In' conferences this past Wednesday when parents and teachers had the opportunity to sit together and go over their students' academic and behavior concerns and create collaborative plans to aid in their students' success the rest of the quarter. 

There are 4 week remaining in the quarter. I encourage every Brave to make the most of it and do their absolute best!

Forever Brave,

Hector Maestre, Ed.D.
Principal
