Hello Vasquez Families!
We hope to see you at one of our "A Day in the Life" Curriculum sessions this Tuesday. We are offering two sessions to support your flexibility for arrival and/or having more than one students' grade levels to visit. See the flyer below for all the details.

We are excited to welcome parents into our classrooms to showcase our academic resources. This is a wonderful time to ask questions regarding the curriculum and learning resources. This is not a time to discuss individual students that will be at Parent Conferences on October 13th. You are always welcome to email the teacher to schedule a conference if needed.

FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes)
We are so excited to begin our first FCA huddle of the year at Vasquez Elementary! FCA stands for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, but you don't have to be an athlete to attend. All students, from Kindergarten - Fourth Grade are welcome to come for donuts, worship, and amazing speakers. Our FCA group will be meeting the first Friday morning of every month from 7:25-7:45 in the Gym. Our first meeting will be FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2nd.
*Please make sure that your child has opted in to attend club meetings this year, which is done through Skyward. You would need to select "Yes". The dates of our meetings this year are below. If you previously selected "No" by accident, contact Bri Thompson at briannthompson@celinaisd.com and she will open it back up.

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.
