Message from Mrs. Rodriguez
Dear Garcia Grizzly Family,
We had such an incredible first week of school! Thank you everyone for making it a smooth first week of school. We hope that your families enjoyed all of the photo booths in front of the school and that you were able to make special memories with your students.
Remember our theme this school year! It's all about making good decisions, being critical thinkers, practicing and correcting ourselves when we make mistakes.
Level Up Grizzlies!
Some updates for this year that are of importance are:
- Kindergarten will be full day starting this coming school year starting on day one. If you have a kinder student, please be aware of their school schedule.
- Volunteers are needed. Please stop by the office to pick up an application. I will also include a link to access the application online for printing.
- Please review the map included in this newsletter with the pick-up times and areas for the various classes.
- Remember not to worry about breakfast! We will be having Breakfast in the Classroom every morning at no cost to parents. Students will eat alongside classmates and their teacher every morning. Keep scrolling to see the breakfast and lunch menus for August below.
Please follow us on Remind @2eke373, Twitter @garciagrizzlies, Instagram garciagrizzlies and Like us on Facebook. We will put information on our social media in order to keep everyone updated. Please get connected with us and remember to LEVEL UP GRIZZLIES!
Your Proud Principal,
Mrs. Rodriguez
Updates From Mrs. Punchur
Grizzlies,
This coming week, we will be completing our iReady Diagnostic Test #1! On Monday, Mrs. Rodriguez and I will host virtual assemblies with all grade levels to pump all of our students up for this test. Please don't worry! Your teachers will login and join us for a fun virtual assembly!
Remember Grizzlies, this is our year to LEVEL UP!
Mrs. Punchur
Afternoon Dismissal Plan for Garcia
This is a friendly reminder that during Afterschool Dismissal, all parking lots, drive thru zones are closed. If you see that the cones or barricades are not up, they are still closed at dismissal times. This is for student safety. Thank you for understanding and supporting our efforts to keep our walking students and parents safe.
