Escondido Lions Express

Hello Lion families,

What an exciting week of learning we had! As I visited classrooms throughout the week, I was inspired by the outstanding teaching taking place and the enthusiasm students showed for learning. Our dedicated teachers consistently strive to provide engaging, high-quality instruction that supports student success and fosters a love of learning.

I hope you all have a great week!

Warm regards-

-Esmeralda Garza, Principal

Designated tables on the cafeteria stage are reserved for parents who wish to eat with their child during lunch. Parents may only dine with their own child, and sharing food with other students is not permitted. Visitors are not allowed to eat with students who are not their child, nor may they purchase or share food with other students.

Additionally, restricting food sharing protects students with allergies and dietary restrictions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide a positive and secure mealtime experience for everyone.
