Principal’s Message
It is so wonderful to be able to welcome all of our SRE families back to another
exciting new year. It was a great feeling to see our students enter the building on
their first day and see the big smiles on their faces. SRE is ready to continue to
make great things happen this year. We are ready to build upon our successes and
implement plans to increase student achievement! Our belief that all students can
learn and achieve has helped us make the ordinary moments produce
extraordinary results. Our School Improvement Team, faculty, and staff have
created important action steps aimed at increasing student achievement for
all. We remain focused on our core business of teaching and learning.
Our school theme this year is “Magical Moments: Ordinary to Extraordinary”. We
believe that each moment counts and is valuable. If we do our best for each
moment that we are learning, we will take the ordinary tasks and produce
extraordinary results.
Teachers have taught, modeled, and practiced our school wide expectations to
“Respect yourself, Respect others, and Respect our environment” with all
students. Teachers explained what these expectations would look like and sound
like in all areas including classrooms, restrooms, hallways, cafeteria, buses, and
brain breaks. Following expectations ensures the safety of all of our students. We
appreciate your support as we work together to continue to provide a safe,
nurturing, and positive learning environment.
I look forward to another outstanding school year. We invite our families to join us
in building a solid foundation upon which our students' futures can be
built.
Parental engagement is important to our success. There will be numerous
opportunities to get involved and support our academic and social programs. Our
SRE Family Center is a wonderful resource to our parents, and we invite you to visit
and volunteer at any time. Our PTO would also love your support. We have many
daytime and evening events aimed at keeping you informed and active in our
school.
We look forward to a great year filled with tremendous success. If you have any
questions or concerns about any aspect of your child’s educational experience,
please feel free to contact the classroom teacher, Assistant Principal, or me. We are
happy to answer any questions you may have. Let's continue to successfully reach
excellence together!

Back to School: A Complete Checklist for Parents
Getting back into the swing of things just may be the most difficult part of returning to school. After having had
months away from the rigid schedule of classes, homework and after school events, it’s hard for children and parents
to get back on schedule. The following are tips for getting back into the swing of things…
 Put bedtime battles to rest. To help adjust to





the new schedule, put your children to bed
10 minutes earlier each night. This will help
eliminate the shock from a late to early bed
time.
Help get organized when it comes to
schedules. There are many free apps and
online organizations sites such as Got Family
Get Organized, Evernote, and Remember the
Milk.
Prepare for lots of paperwork. Help keep
yourself and your student organized and
current by checking schoolbags and folders
daily. Make sure all important forms have
been completed and returned on time.
Post your child’s schedule and school
calendar somewhere you can see.
Volunteer your time or expertise. Research
shows that children whose parents are
involved in their school do better
academically and socially.
After school, let your child run inside and
play. Instead of jumping straight to doing
chores or homework, let your child have a
much needed break. Spend 15 to 30 minutes
connecting as a family: play a game, take a
walk, talk about the day, and eat a snack.

Teléfono: 504-464-9254
Horas: 8:30am-3:30pm
Bienvenidos de nuevo y bienvenidos a bordo para empezar otro año escolar juntos. En el Centro Familiar, están invitados a
unirse con otros padres y niños para participar en actividades y para compartir información y materiales. Todas las actividades y la
información son gratis. Fondos del programa Title 1 y varias otras subvenciones mantienen estas actividades. El Centro Familiar ofrece

ser parte del Centro Familiar durante el año escolar y esperamos poder ayudarles a usted y a su familia también. Por favor, llámenos si
ustedes y su familia necesitan más ayuda.
Es muy importante ayudar a su hijo(a) durante el año escolar. Por favor, equipen, animen y feliciten a su hijo(a) y diríjanlo
para que tenga éxito escolar. Cada niño aprende a su proprio ritmo. Sabemos que los niños a veces se sienten frustrados cuando encuentran un desafío. Por favor, guíenlos con amor y anímenlos para que perseveren durante el año escolar. Tal vez ustedes observaran éxitos increíbles!
De regreso a la escuela: Una lista completa para los padres
La parte más difícil de regresar a la escuela es de acostumbrarse de nuevo al calendario escolar. Puede ser difícil para los padres y los
niños de regresar a un horario más estricto después de los meses de vacaciones, lejos del horario escolar, de las tareas y de las actividades que ocurren después de la escuela. Los consejos siguientes les van a ayudar a regresar al horario escolar.
No más enfrentamiento cuando es la hora de dormir. Para que se acostumbren al horario nuevo, acuesten a sus hijos 10 minutos
más temprano cada noche. Por lo tanto, les ayudará a no sentirse cansados el día siguiente.
Pueden buscar ayuda para organizarse Hay muchas apps que son gratis y hay sitios web para organizarse como Got Family Get
Organized, Evernote y Remember the Milk.
Alístense para llenar muchos documentos. Para ser organizados, verifiquen la mochila y la carpeta de su hijo(a) cada día. Asegúrense que todos los documentos importantes estén completados y regrésenlos a la escuela a tiempo.
Pongan el horario de su hijo y el calendario de la escuela en un lugar donde los pueden mirar fácilmente. Les ayudaría cuando
están concertando citas. Hagan preguntas a su hijo a cerca de las actividades de la escuela.
Ofrezcan su tiempo. Estudios dicen que los niños que tienen padres que están involucrados en la escuela hacen mejor progreso
académica y socialmente. Las maestras aprecian a los padres que están involucrados en la educación de sus hijos.
Después de la escuela deje que el niño juegue y descanse un rato. En vez de dar trabajo casero o hacer tareas, permitan que su
hijo(a) tenga un rato de distracción .Compartan con su hijos unos 15 a 30 minutos a diario jugando, caminando, hablando de las
experiencias del día comiendo.
