Dear Parents,
On behalf of the staff at DJ Gallego Elementary School, I am happy to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year! We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.
We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:
1) Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience.
2) Completes all homework assignments given by teachers.
3) Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills.
4) Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life.
5) Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject.
6) Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to college.
Please consider joining our school volunteer program as our students can significantly benefit from your involvement and contributions to the school’s program and its operations. We seek volunteers to help us with the following activities:
1) Reading with children who need extra help.
2) School-wide events.
3) LIGER Lookout Program – assistance in the morning and afternoons with dismissal/traffic.
If you have any questions about these expectations, please feel free to contact me or to discuss them with your child’s teacher. It is essential that you and your child are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year.
The wonderful DJ Gallego staff and I feel privileged to be a part of this school family. We thank you for your support and look forward to a great school year.
Respectfully,
Imelda C. Martinez
School Principal
