From the Principal's Desk

Hello Families of La Promesa,

We are officially in Spring! There are lots of things going on at La Promesa and we want you to know all about them! Read our monthly newsletters that are emailed each month and look at our school website for any new information. We also make call-outs, emails and text to keep you informed of the latest happenings.

First of all, Report Cards for the 3rd 9 weeks went home with your child on Monday. Please make sure you look over your child's grades. If there are any failing grades, please make sure your child is completing all assignments, studying for upcoming tests and staying for tutorials afterschool to get all the extra help they can. Keep in mind we strive in keeping our class sizes small so that all students can get the individualized instruction they need. Please make sure your child is taking advantage of these opportunities.

Make sure your child is arriving to school on time. Instruction begins at 7 o'clock daily. If you are in the car rider line at 6:45-6:59, more than likely you will run into traffic and be late to class because you still need to enter the school, go through the metal detectors and walk to class. Clear backpacks are an expectation and need to be utilized to bring their device (laptop computer), charger, notebooks and pencils to class daily.

As a reminder:

There are no outside snacks aloud at school unless it is in a lunch sack/bag. It is district policy that items be confiscated if found.
Cell phones and ear phones are not permitted to be used at school. They will be confiscated and follow district policy to get the items returned.
Come late, stay late policy is being enforced. Anyone that enters after 7:00 am and or that is tardy to class will stay for detention on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:35-5:00 pm.

Parents and guardians, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about your child at 281-448-5237. We are here to support you in any capacity that we can.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Flores

La Promesa Principal

Parents we need your help...

Dear Parents and Families of La Promesa,

We will begin our state standardized testing: STAAR soon. Every year we like to give the students a little extra encouragement from home before they take their test for that day. Included in this packet are an envelope and 3 little note cards, one for each testing day. (English I or II, Algebra and Biology) Please write a little note of encouragement on each paper to your child and send it back in the sealed envelope with their name on the front. We will place it on their desk before testing begins the day of the testing. The students absolutely love this. Please have your note sent back before testing starts on Friday, April 7th. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Do you know someone that is Bilingual and wants to come to La Promesa?

We are growing here at La Promesa and we want to ask you to recommend your family and friends into our Dual Language Program. If a student wants to continue to learn and be educated in English and Spanish, then La Promesa is a place for them. They will graduate with a Seal of Biliteracy and be ready for the demanding needs that employers are looking for in being Bilingual.
