Dear parents and guardians,

I would like to begin this letter by thanking our students, teachers, and families for the great start to the 2023-2024 school year. Our students have done an excellent job of acclimating to the new school year and are working diligently on their school endeavors. Our Family Orientation and Open House were well attended with families getting to meet our fantastic teachers and staff.

Now that fall is upon us, the academic workload and expectations that are placed on our students will become more rigorous. Please encourage your students to stay on top of their coursework and to practice good study habits. Parents should monitor their student’s progress in the Home Access Center. Our first report card for the first nine weeks is available on Home Access Center (HAC) as of last Friday, October 20th.

As always, I would like to thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

Sincerely,

Ana Flores-Bolivar

Aldine ISD provided computers for students this 2023-2024 school year. The devices and chargers are the responsibility of each student to bring back and forth to school everyday. Students will use their computer at school everyday! Parents please make sure your child has their device with them daily!

Attention Parents and Guardians,

It is imperitive that your child arrives to school on time daily. The bell rings at 7:00 AM daily for morning announcements and classroom instruction to begin. If your child arrives late, it is mandatory that you escort your child into the school building. The policy at La Promesa is if your child arrives late, they will stay late for after school detention from 2:35-5:00 PM on Tuesdays & Thursdays. No students will be allowed to enter after 7:10 AM, unless they are escorted by a parent/guardian. Also, students have 5 minutes to get to class to class. If they are tardy to their class, they will also be requiered to stay for afterschool detention.

🥧La Promesa pep squad raised money for their mission and supplies for the year! Check out their cool fundraiser pics...🥧

A little rain did not stop us from having some fun last Wednesday for our 1st Trunk or Treat Bash. Our teachers had a great time welcoming our families and students and sharing some Trick or Treat fun!
