🌸 March at SABE – Learning, Wellness & Community! 🌸

Dear SABE Families,

March is a busy and exciting month at SABE! As we move into spring, we continue to focus on strong academics, student wellness, and meaningful family engagement.

💙 ¡SOMOS SABE! – Family Engagement

Our ¡SOMOS SABE! Noche de familia initiative continues to strengthen the partnership between school and home. When families are engaged, students thrive! We encourage all parents to participate in upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and school activities. Your voice, presence, and partnership make a difference in our students’ success.

🩺 Feria de salud y seguridad

We are excited to host our SABE Feria de Salud y Seguridad (Health & Safety Fair) this month. This event will provide families with valuable resources related to physical health, mental wellness, community safety, and family services. We look forward to bringing together community partners to support the well-being of our SABE families. More details will be shared soon — we hope to see you there!

📚 Book Fair

Our spring Book Fair is also coming up! This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage a love of reading at home. Students will have the chance to explore new books in both languages and build their personal libraries. Every purchase supports our school and helps us continue promoting literacy across all grade levels.

Thank you for being an essential part of our SABE community. Together, we continue to build a strong, bilingual, and thriving school where every child can succeed.

Con cariño,
Mrs. Reyes
Principal

Siblings to a student already enrolled at SABE are eligible for enrollment using this form. For example, if you have a child coming into Pre-K or K, they would automatically qualify and not have to be part of the annual lottery. Please use this form to pre-enroll your child or children for the 2026-2027 school year.

Did you know that students can enroll now to attend SABE? Open enrollment means that parents can enroll their children at SABE at any time during the school year. If you have family or friends that want to enroll their children at SABE now, share the information and have them complete the SABE Open Enrollment Form on our website.

If you have friends or family interested in having their children attend SABE or SABE Niños for the 2026-2027 school year, have them complete the SABE Lottery Form on the website. The lottery is for all grades, Pre-K through 8th grade. Once the lottery form is completed, families will be receiving school information and upcoming open house dates and times.

Remember, our SABE K-7th grade registered kiddos, their siblings, and staff children have priority enrollment for the next school year. This form has been sent via Class Dojo two different times already. If you need this link, please contact Ms. Mia Duran, our school registrar.

If you have any questions, please call our school office and our school registrar, Ms. Mia Duran, will be able to answer your questions.

This month our ¡SOMOS SABE! Noche de familia will be held on March 19th from 6:00pm-7:00pm and the theme will be Health and Safety Fair. We will be hosting various community organizations and resources for families. Please plan to join us. We will also be hosting our spring book fair the same week.

SABE will be hosting a spring book fair the week of March 16-20. Parents can volunteer during the school day or the evening of ¡SOMOS SABE!. If you are interested in volunteering, contact the school office.

We ask that you please take a moment to speak with your child about appropriate behavior and bathroom etiquette at school. Bathrooms are shared spaces, and it is important that students use them respectfully and responsibly. This includes using quiet voices, keeping hands and feet to themselves, respecting others’ privacy, using supplies appropriately, and helping keep the space clean for everyone.

We are excited to introduce the HELPme app – a 24/7 support system for students and families.

The HELPme app empowers every member of our school community to seek support whenever they need it, while remaining completely anonymous!

Whether it's a student battling bullying, a family in need of food or shelter, or anyone facing a personal challenge – HELPme is here to support us.

The HELPme app provides three ways for our school community to ask for and receive help:

• GET RESOURCES is a safe space for users to explore essential needs and wellness resources at their own pace. It provides a confidential way to connect with local resources, ensuring privacy and dignity for those seeking assistance.
• CRISIS TEXT LINE provides users with immediate mental health support. With a network of 27,000+ trained crisis counselors, users can text with a counselor (day or night), making sure no one feels isolated in their time of need. Counselors are available 24/7, 365 days of the year.
• ASK FOR HELP is an anonymous communication channel between users and designated school personnel. It allows users to request help directly from their school without the pressure of disclosing their identity. Users may also request help for a friend or family member.

We kindly urge all parents to download the app. HELPme is not only a support system for your children, but also for YOU.

Getting Started with HELPme:

1. Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

2. Select your school from the dropdown menu or enter the code provided by the school.

3. Accept the Terms & Conditions.

At SABE, we believe in the strength of our community — somos una familia. In the spirit of compassion and solidarity, we are continuing a SABE Community Food Drive to help support those in need. We are asking for non-perishable food donations such as:

• Canned goods (soups, vegetables, beans, meats, fruit);
• bags of rice, beans, or pasta;
• shelf-stable items like cereal, peanut butter, and granola bars; and
• gift cards to area grocery stores (Smith’s, Walmart, Albertsons, etc.)

SABE is partnering with the Rio Grande Educational Cooperative to host and maintain our after school program beginning this school year. Please see more information and register on the flyer below.
