Hello Vasquez Families!
Our Read -A- Thon Fundraiser is over. Thanks to your help with reading minutes and pledges, we raised $16, 711 with a few more days for donations to roll in! Those funds will go towards: games for our PALS mentor program, staff appreciation, recess replacement equipment and award prizes for House Competitions.

A Note from The Cafeteria
Reduced-Price Meal Benefits:
The grace period for Free & Reduced-Price Meal Benefits has ended for the new school year.
Weekly meal account balance reminders are already being emailed and mailed to families. In addition, we will be sending monthly high-balance notices for distribution to students’ parents/guardians within their backpacks.
If you do not want your student to purchase meals or a la carte items, you need to place the appropriate purchase restrictions on the student’s meal account.
ACTION ITEM: Please regularly monitor your student’s meal account.

Parent Teacher Conferences are Happening Now!
All parents should be offered the opportunity to learn how their student is doing in regards to grade level academic and behavioral expectations. Please take the time to learn how your student is doing by meeting with the teacher(s) and hearing about how this 2026 school year started out. What you can expect to discuss: beginning of the year data, your students' goals, work samples, study habits and more!
Grade Level Newsletters, click the link for each.
Ideas, Concerns, or complaints?
If you have concerns, complaints, or ideas, please send those directly to my email. If you prefer, call the school and schedule a meeting with me. It is important to me to be solution-oriented and to work with the community to have a place we feel is working together for the betterment of the students.
