Week 4 of Marking Period 1

Dear Puentes Middle School Community,


Grades will be posted for the 3 week period on Skyward. Please have your child reach out to their teachers for assistance if they are falling behind.


Next week, we will begin 4 weeks testing. It is critical that your child bring their laptop and charger so they can complete the test. Our teachers only have a couple of laptops for emergencies. Again, we emphasize the importance of bringing laptops every day and ensure that you get them fixed when needed.


Monday/Tuesday: Science/Reading Language Arts 4 weeks testing

Thursday/Friday: Math/ Social Studies 4 weeks testing


If you child is absent, remember to SEND A NOTE or EMAIL us with a reason. You do not need a doctor's note. A simple handwritten note or email will allow us to code the absence as EXCUSED. This will NOT GO TOWARD LOC. Always send a note to avoid Loss of Credit.


Thank you for a wonderful week! If you ever need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff. We pride ourselves on excellent and prompt customer service.


Here is a link to our news story on our morning volunteers.
