Dear Parent/Guardian:
I wanted to let you know about a staffing change affecting your child’s classroom. While privacy rules prevent me from sharing detailed information, Ms. Duff is no longer a part of our teaching team. For the remainder of this week, we have secured substitute teachers who will be working closely with our second grade team to offer a smooth transition.
Starting on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 your child will be assigned to Ms. Sanchez in the same room, Room 19. Ms. Sanchez has been supporting our Los Encinos campus most of this school year. She is very excited to be serving as your child’s substitute teacher for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year. The Second Grade team is working closely together to ensure this is a smooth transition for all students and that all students are in an engaging classroom environment.
Your support and understanding are appreciated as we continue to work towards student success. Every effort will be made to ensure there is a smooth transition effective Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
If you have any questions, please call our office at 878-2600.
Working together,
Laura Perales
Principal, Los Encinos Elementary School

Good morning fourth and fifth grade parents,
I wanted to let you know that we are sending home parent letters today. Your child's letter has your child's Mock STAAR scores on them. This includes whether or not they are meeting the standard (passing) their STAAR. However, there is a separate letter that will tell you if they went backwards from their previous year's STAAR. Teachers are currently working very hard to give each student exactly what they need to be prepared for the actual STAAR coming soon in April. We do need your help and partnership in assuring they will be successful. This includes getting them to school every day and on time. We also ask that students do not bring things to school that are distractors. We also need them to attend tutoring and/or Saturday School if they are invited. Together we will best prepare your child for the next grade level and for their future.

Good morning third grade parents,
I wanted to let you know that we did send home a parent letter yesterday. This letter has your child's Mock STAAR scores on them. It includes whether or not they are meeting the standard (passing) their STAAR. Teachers are currently working very hard to give each student exactly what they need to be prepared for the actual STAAR coming soon in April. We do need your help and partnership in assuring they will be successful. This includes getting them to school every day and on time. We also ask that students do not bring things to school that are distractors. Some students are playing with small toys or nails or jewelry instead of getting their independent work done. We also need them to attend tutoring and/or Saturday School if they are invited. Together we will best prepare your child for the next grade level and for their future.

Family Picnic Today
Today is our family picnic. The picnic starts at 11:30am. We will open doors at 11:25am. Parents/guardians will be allowed to walk to each child's classroom and they will need to sign them out. The picnic ends promptly at 12:15pm. The entire family is welcome to come and enjoy the beautiful day together. This is a special family picnic day. Please keep in mind: the playground will be taped off (it was not made to safely have 100s of students on it at the same time. You are welcome to bring frisbees, balls, hula hoops, bubbles, etc. It is also very windy today. Please keep this in mind as well. You are allowed to take your student after the picnic. However, they will need to be signed out at the front office and this will count as a partial day absence. ONLY parent or legal guardian can check a student out of school. If you are checking your child out, only the child will be sent down hallways to retrieve their belongings. You can wait for them at the entrance of each hallway or get in line to sign them out. We are excited for you to come and enjoy the day. Please also have a very safe Spring Break. See you again on Monday, March 16 at 7:50am.

The Medical Hold was lifted at 3:20 p.m and students were able to exit the building for dismissal.
