Estimados padres/tutores: Les recordamos que todos los estudiantes deben tener su cartilla de vacunación al día en el sistema escolar, de acuerdo con la ley estatal y la política del distrito. Si la cartilla de vacunación de su hijo/a está incompleta o falta, no se le permitirá permanecer en la escuela hasta que se le hayan administrado las vacunas requeridas y se haya entregado la documentación correspondiente a la secretaría. Los estudiantes que no cumplan con las pautas de vacunación requeridas serán enviados a casa y solo podrán regresar una vez que se reciba el comprobante de vacunación. Gracias por su pronta atención a este asunto y por ayudarnos a mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro y saludable para todos los estudiantes. ¡Esperamos con ansias el primer día de clases!

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎆
Even though our students are enjoying a well-deserved summer break, we’re still celebrating the spirit of Independence Day with pride and gratitude!
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted, marking the birth of the United States of America. It was a bold step toward freedom and democracy that continues to inspire generations.
🗽 Fun History Facts:
The Declaration was signed in Philadelphia, and the Liberty Bell became a symbol of American independence.
Only John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed the Declaration on July 4 — most others signed later!
The first organized 4th of July celebration took place in 1777, complete with fireworks, music, and parades.
We hope all our families are enjoying the holiday and taking a moment to reflect on the values that unite us. Have a safe and joyful Independence Day! ❤️💙
