Rincon Community News #23
January 17, 2026
As we approach the week ahead, I want to highlight a few stand-out events from last week. At Play Pass Day on Thursday our Bulldogs unleashed their competitive spirit at today's lunchtime filled with fun and games! For 25 Bull Bucks students joined activities like ping pong, Wii, Jenga, corn hole, and SO much more! Promoting positive choices, friendship, and climate. At Rincon, Bulldogs B.A.R.K, believe, achieve, respect, and show kindness.
Career day Highlight
Career Day on Friday was inspiring. Our middle schoolers had the incredible opportunity to engage with a diverse group of professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, exploring various future career paths. A huge shoutout to our dedicated counselors for organizing this event and connecting our students with such amazing role models. We believe that exposing our students to a range of careers helps them envision their futures and opens doors to endless possibilities! Thank you to all the speakers who took the time to share their experiences and insights. Together, we are helping our students dream big so they can achieve more than they think possible.
Additionally, we will be honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this week. His insightful words, "Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education,” resonate deeply with us here at Rincon. As we celebrate this holiday, let us remember the importance of combining knowledge with integrity and compassion. These principles are not only integral to our education but also to the character we build together as a community.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to fostering a nurturing environment for our students. Let’s make the most of this week together!
With gratitude,
Principal Meglich

Basketball Evaluations
We are thrilled to announce that the X-Track Program at the Boys & Girls Club is officially kicking off our Middle School Basketball League—and we couldn’t be more excited!
This league is about more than just basketball. It’s an opportunity for our middle school students to build teamwork, confidence, leadership, and sportsmanship while having fun and staying active in a positive, supportive environment. Whether your student is new to the game or already loves basketball, this league is designed to help everyone grow both on and off the court.
Over the coming weeks, participants can look forward to:
Organized team practices and games
Skill development and mentorship from our coaches
A fun, competitive, and encouraging atmosphere
A chance to represent X-Track with pride
The evaluations will be taking place at the Boys and Girls Club: Conrad Prebys Escondido, starting on January 20th through January 23rd. Please see the attachments for your school's evaluation flyer (provided in English and Spanish). The week following evaluation will be their time to practice their skills for gamedays starting on February 2nd. Game days will be Monday-Friday at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm.
We can’t wait to see our students lace up their sneakers, hit the court, and show their school spirit and X-Track pride. Thank you for being part of our Boys & Girls Club family and for supporting our youth as they learn, grow, and play together.
