¡Queridos Padres!
Seems like has arrived the season for hoodies, boots, hot cocoa, jeans, sweaters, fog, rain, and cool weather! Welcome fall 🙂 I hope all of you had a great long weekend!
We will have our picture day on October 2 at 11:45 am. Your child will need to bring the picture envelope. If your child is ill or you just don’t like the picture there will be a retaken day (TBD).
Also, our first field trip is coming, stay tuned more details to come.
Grace & Peace;
Maestra Ruiz
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions; please do not hesitate to contact me.
