Community Ofrenda

Honor Loved Ones at Our Community Ofrenda

In celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)—a rich tradition originating in Mexico and celebrated throughout Latin America—we invite our entire school family to participate in our Community Ofrenda. An ofrenda is a traditional altar created to welcome, honor, and remember family, friends, and cherished loved ones who have passed away.

Our altar will be located outside of the main office and will remain on display through November 5th.

We welcome students, staff, and families to contribute starting the week of October 26th. You are invited to bring in a photo, a written memory, or a small non-perishable offering to add to the table as we join together in this meaningful cultural tradition of remembrance and reflection.

Please note: To keep your precious memories safe, please submit photo copies rather than original photographs.

ESP Self-Assessment

As an ESP/PSRP employee, you are encouraged to complete a self-assessment and submit it to your evaluator. Employee Self-Assessments will be accepted from November 1st to November 30th, 2026. Follow the instructions below to complete this voluntary step:

Save a copy of the Employee Self-Assessment form and complete all fields. You may also reference the Evaluation Rubric for guidance.
Keep a copy of the completed form for yourself, and submit a copy directly to your evaluator for review.

Technology Audit and Schedule

Our annual technology audit has officially begun! To help this process go as smoothly as possible, please keep the following in mind:

Asset Scanning: I will be visiting classrooms (primarily during your prep periods) to scan all devices with asset tags. This includes teacher and staff devices.

Chromebook Carts: Please leave Chromebooks in their carts, but unplugged/disconnected, as this speeds up the scanning process significantly.

Tech Support Requests: Please continue using the Tech Google Form for all tech issues or requests rather than emailing/telling me directly. I receive immediate email notifications for each submission and review them frequently.

Form Details: When submitting a request, please include your Name, Room Number/Location, and the Asset Tag Number(s) so a ticket can be created promptly.

Good News: Repaired Chromebooks are actively being redistributed to classrooms that need them! Once our audit is complete, we will have a clear picture of our overall inventory and where additional devices are needed.

Thank you for your support and patience!
