Guerrero Parent Newsletter

Last week we welcomed students back to school as I began my 28th year as an educator! I am humbled at the opportunity to lead and serve our school community of Guerrero Aztecs and understand the responsibility that comes with the role of being a school Principal.

I am proud of our Guerrero team which consists of our AP, instructional coach, interventionist, teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, diagnosticians, speech therapists, custodial staff, cafeteria staff, our amazing office staff and so many other district leadership staff who support our school staff to ensure student success.

I am proud of the work we have done and understand the work that still needs to take place!

I am extremely thankful for you, our parents, and all of your support! This job is not easy but it is what we choose to do every single day! I personally wouldn't have it any other way! I absolutely LOVE what I do!

Here's to an AMAZING 26-27 school year!

Aztecs, we are excited to have you back on campus. In order to help families prepare for the new school year, we have provided a list of school supplies by grade level. This year the district will not be providing school supplies. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you are experiencing a hardship and are unable to provide school supplies for your child. No explanations needed.

• 7:30-8:00 - Breakfast in the cafeteria for all PK3, PK4, Kindergarten and 1st grade students.
• 7:55 - First Bell - students should line up / teachers will pick up from the blacktop / cafeteria.
• 8:00 a.m. – Students should be walking to class at this time. All 2nd - 5th grade students have the option of having breakfast in the classroom free of charge.
• 8:15 a.m. – All students who are not in the classroom at 8:15 a.m. when the tardy bell rings must report to the front office for a tardy slip. Students in PK3-1 should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
• 10:00 a.m. – A student not seated in a class at 10:00 a.m. will be marked absent for the day (students who come to school after 10:00 a.m. with a medical note will be excused).
• Written documentation is needed for absences - phone calls do not count as documentation.
• Please submit documentation upon the student’s return after an absence (within 5 days of the absence). The campus will update attendance records based on the documentation provided.
• Please submit written documentation to the following email: guerrero_notes@episd.org
  

Guerrero Elementary will continue to be a non-uniform campus. We will continue to follow guidelines sent out by EPISD and will not require uniforms.
