¡Queridos Padres!

We had a great time with Grandparents & Grandfriends! I will post some pictures 🙂 Below is a note from Jodi Pierce. 

Immersion 101 Parent Meeting
Join us to learn more about the ZCS approach to immersion education! We will meet in the media center on Tuesday, November 5 at 7:00pm. The focus of the meeting will appeal most to lower elementary parents but all are welcome. We encourage each Kindergarten family to have at least one adult to attend this meeting.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, suggestion or advice.

Grace & Peace;
Maestra Ruiz
