2026-2027 Tentative School Year Calendar

Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends, 

Next week, we are celebrating reading in our schools and hosting our Spring Book Fair. Additionally, students in Grades 2 and 3 will complete the annual IREAD-3 exam. We want to remind students of how important it is for them to take their time and come in well-rested for this exam.  Since our students will be testing next week, please be sure students arrive on time and are in school, unless they are ill. We only have a small window to complete make-up testing. 

To date, 84% of our families have returned their registration packets for next year.  I cannot stress enough how imperative it is to turn in your paperwork so as not to risk losing a spot for your child for next year.  Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. 

Lastly, next week is a dress down week for our students, as this is a reward they earned from our annual Walk-A-Thon in the fall. We just ask that all student attire be appropriate. Students should not wear torn jeans, leggings, or pajamas.

God Bless,

Mrs. Ramos

Queridos Padres y Amigos de San Miguel-San Gabriel, 

La próxima semana, celebraremos la lectura en nuestras escuelas y tendremos nuestra Feria del Libro de Primavera. Además los estudiantes de 2 y 3 grado harán el examen anual de IREAD-3. Queremos recordarles a los estudiantes lo importante que es tomarse su tiempo y que vengan bien descansados para este examen. Dado que nuestros estudiantes realizarán el examen la semana próxima, les pedimos que hagan lo posible de llegar puntuales y esten presentes en la escuela,  a menos de que estén enfermos. Solo tenemos un periodo muy pequeño para completar el examen de recuperación.

Hasta la fecha, el 84% de nuestras familias han devuelto sus paquetes de inscripción para el próximo año. Es fundamental que entreguen la documentación para no perder el lugar de su hijo para el próximo año. Comuníquese con nosotros si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud. 

Por último, la próxima semana nuestros estudiantes deben vestir de manera informal (sin uniforme) ya que es uno de los premios que obtuvieron en la competencia de la caminata que hubo en el otoño. Solo les pedimos que su vestuario sea apropiado de nuestro código de uniforme. No deben usar jeans rotos, leggins ni pijamas. (Ni letreros con insultos) 

Dios los bendiga,

La Sra. Ramos
