NOVEMBER MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
A LETTER FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
To all Marcus Mustang Families,
Welcome to Herbert Marcus Elementary! I am Juan Almaraz, and I’m proud to serve as the principal of Herbert Marcus.
My job as principal is to create a safe and welcoming community that challenges your child to achieve their absolute best. I believe our charge as educators is to maximize your students’ academic and social-emotional potential, so they are prepared to continue their steps toward their college and career goals.
I’m excited about the upcoming year and look forward to working with our faculty, staff, and parents to prepare our students for academic success. I look forward to discussing any ideas or thoughts that can improve our Marcus school community.
Sincerely,
Juan Almaraz
