Mathis Elementary

Dear Mini-Pirate Families,

We have a busy and exciting week ahead for our Mini Pirates! Our Scholastic Book Fair begins this week. Flyers and scheduled classroom visit times were sent home with students last week. On Tuesday, the Book Fair will also be open from 4:00–6:00 PM in our Early Scholars Cafeteria for parents who would like to bring their child to shop.

We will also celebrate with our MES Thanksgiving Luncheon on Thursday and Friday. Please refer to the flyer in this newsletter for dates and times.

There is so much learning happening at MES! Our Mini Pirates continue to work hard, learn new things, and grow each and every day. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Mrs. Irma Gonzales, Principal

Mrs. Casey Cox, Assistant Principal

Mrs. Orona's kinder RLA students enjoyed listening to The Little Red Hen while learning about chickens and crops. They discussed key details from the story and brought it to life by acting out the characters, building comprehension, creativity, and teamwork in a fun, hands-on way.

Mrs. SJ Gonzalez and Mrs. I. Torres 1st grade students wrapped up their Earth science unit by creating hands-on models of Earth's layers. They explained the characteristics and functions of each layer, demonstrating their understanding of Earth's structure through this engaging culminating activity.

This month, our Pirate Buddies spent time reading with and enjoying lunch alongside our first graders. These special visits build friendships, encourage a love of reading, and creating lasting memories for our Mini-Pirates.

Staff Spotlight this week is Mrs. O. Garcia, who teaches PK. Thank you for your dedication and support for our students. We appreciate you!

A big shout out to our Mini Pirates for making school attendance a priority. Thank you to our students and families for helping make sure our students are here, ready to learn, and making the most of every school day. Every day counts, and every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and shine.

A huge shoutout to our 2nd graders for reaching 100% attendance on Thursday!

Thank you for showing up, ready to learn, and making every minute count.

Getting to school on time helps your child start the day ready to learn! Arriving early and on time gives students time to enjoy breakfast with friends and ensures they don't miss valuable morning instruction. Many grade levels begin the day with intervention and enrichment, providing extra support to reteach important skills and strength learning. Thank you for partnering with us to help every student have successful start day!

This is a tentative schedule and dates are subject to change.
