A Message from Principal Ledesma

Good afternoon, families,

We have had a wonderful time in our first full week. While we continue to experience some delays due to technology, we are working through these.

The following includes some updates:
  • Bus cards and IDs continue to be printed. Unfortunately, we have just one machine and each ID takes several minutes to print. We continue to work our way through our lists. As they get printed, they are delivered to the student's third-hour class.
  • Infinite Campus is slowly coming online. Parent Portal will be open on Monday with more information. If you have not been able to set up an account, a new email will be sent to you in the next few days. If you have been prompted to request an Activation Key, please email me at [email protected].
  • Student portal is active. Please see the details below.
Our first Flex Lunch with club time today was a success! Student engaged in all types of activities of interest to them while enjoying a a slower pace mid-day. Students, remember that you can go to club first and have lunch after. The cafeteria is open all hour from 11:50am-12:50pm.

Next week is homecoming week! Please see the theme days in the flyer today. You can also find out about our Slime-a-thon fundraiser in the video here.

Finally, at the beginning of the year I spoke with staff about our collective resolve to see "each student as distinct and irreplaceable." Please know that we will continue to use that lens in all we do - from answering phones, to setting up parent meetings, to celebrating our students.

I hope that as we enage in our work this year, you get to share in our celebration of your student.

Have a wodnerful weekend,

Christian Alberto Ledesma
Principal
Buenas tardes, familias,

Hemos tenido un tiempo maravilloso en nuestra primera semana completa. Si bien continuamos experimentando algunos retrasos debido a la tecnología, estamos trabajando en estos. 

Lo siguiente incluye algunas actualizaciones:
  • Las tarjetas de autobús y las identificaciones continúan imprimiéndose. Desafortunadamente, solo tenemos una máquina y cada identificación tarda varios minutos en imprimirse. Continuamos trabajando en nuestras listas. A medida que se imprimen, se entregan a la clase de tercera hora del estudiante.
  • Infinite Campus se está poniendo en línea lentamente. El portal para padres estará abierto el lunes con más información. Si no ha podido configurar una cuenta, se le enviará un nuevo correo electrónico en los próximos días. Si se le ha solicitado que solicite una clave de activación, envíeme un correo electrónico a [email protected].
  • El portal del estudiante está activo. Consulte los detalles a continuación.
¡Nuestro primer Flex Lunch con horario de club hoy fue un éxito! Los estudiantes participaron en todo tipo de actividades de su interés mientras disfrutaban de un ritmo más lento al mediodía. Estudiantes, recuerden que pueden ir primero al club y luego almorzar. La cafetería está abierta todas las horas de 11:50 a. m. a 12:50 p. m.

¡La próxima semana es la semana de Homecoming! Consulte los días temáticos en la informacion siguiente. También pueden obtener más información sobre nuestra recaudación de fondos Slime-a-thon en el vídeo aquí.

Finalmente, a principios de año hablé con el personal sobre nuestra determinación colectiva de ver "a cada estudiante como distinto e irremplazable". Tenga en cuenta que continuaremos usando esa lente en todo lo que hagamos, desde contestar teléfonos hasta organizar reuniones de padres y celebrar a nuestros estudiantes.

Espero que a medida que participemos en nuestro trabajo este año, usted pueda compartir nuestra celebración de su estudiante.

Que tengan un maravilloso fin de semana,

Christian Alberto Ledesma
Director
Galab wanaagsan, qoysas,

Waxaan helnay wakhti cajiib ah usbuucagii ugu horreeyay oo dhan. In kasta oo aan sii wadno in aan la kulanno xoogaa dib u dhac ah oo ay sababto tignoolajiyada, waxaan ka shaqeyneynaa kuwan.

Kuwa soo socda waxaa ku jira qaar ka mid ah cusbooneysiinta:
  • Kaararka baska iyo aqoonsiga waa la sii daabacayaa. Nasiib darro, waxaan haynaa hal mashiin oo aqoonsi kastaa wuxuu qaataa dhowr daqiiqo in la daabaco. Waxaan sii wadeynaa inaan ka shaqeyno habkayaga liisaskayada. Marka la daabaco, waxaa la geeyaa fasalka saddexaad ee ardayga.
  • Infinite Campus ayaa si tartiib tartiib ah u soo galaysa khadka. Xariirka Waalidku waxa uu furmi doonaa isniinta oo ay la socdaan macluumaad dheeraad ah. Haddii aadan awoodin inaad sameysato akoon, iimayl cusub ayaa laguu soo diri doonaa maalmaha soo socda. Haddii lagugu soo jeediyay inaad codsato Furaha Dhaqdhaqaaqa, fadlan iimayl iigu soo dir [email protected].
  • Xariirka ardaydu waa firfircoon yahay. Fadlan hoos ka eeg faahfaahinta
Qadadayada Flex ugu horeysay ee wakhtiga naadiga maanta waxay ahayd guul! Ardaygu waxa uu ku hawlan yahay dhammaan noocyada hawlaha ay xiiseeyaan isaga oo ku raaxaysanaya xawli gaabis ah maalinta dhexdeeda. Ardeyda, xasuusnoow inaad marka hore aadi karto naadiga oo aad qadayn karto ka dib. Maqaaxidu waxay furan tahay saacad kasta laga bilaabo 11:50 subaxnimo-12:50 galabnimo.

Toddobaadka soo socda waa usbuuca guriga! Fadlan ka eeg maalmaha dulucda ee xaashida maanta. Waxa kale oo aad ka heli kartaa wax ku saabsan lacag ururinteena Slime-a-thon fiidyaha halkan.

Ugu dambeyntii, bilowgii sanadka waxaan kala hadlay shaqaalaha go'aankeena wadajirka ah si aan u aragno "arday kastaa mid gaar ah oo aan la bedeli karin." Fadlan ogow inaan sii wadi doono isticmaalka muraayadaas wax kasta oo aan samayno - laga bilaabo ka jawaabista telefoonada, samaynta shirarka waalidka, ilaa dabaaldega ardaydeena.

Waxaan rajeynayaa in marka aan ku dadaaleyno shaqadayada sanadkan, aad ka qaybqaadato dabaaldegga ardaygaaga.

Toddobaad aad u wanaagsan,

Christian Alberto Ledesma
