Rays of Sunshine at La Promesa
October 2023 Edition
From the Principal's Desk
Hello Families of La Promesa!
Can you believe that we are already in October and almost at the end of the 1st 9 weeks of school? Our students have been very busy learning, collaborating and engaging in their classrooms! Although we have already done a lot of learning, we still have a lot more learning to do in the upcoming months and we need your continued support in the following areas:
- Please make sure that your students are at school daily before 7 AM, unless they are sick. If they are sick, please send a Dr.'s note or handwritten note so their absence can be excused.
- We are seeing a rise in dress code violations, be mindful that torn jeans with holes are not allowed. Students will be placed in In-School Suspension for violating the dress code.
- Please make sure that your students bring their charged laptops and ID's everyday to school.
- Also keep in mind that cell phone and earbud use is prohibited during the school hours.
to all the growth your children will make when we work together!
Also, there will be no school on the week of October 9-13. All district schools and offices will be closed. Classes will resume on Monday, October 16th.
Sincerely,
Principal Flores
