Listen up, all you little ogres and princesses! Our attendance today averaged at 88%🥹 and we know we can do better.
Attendance is a big deal—it helps you learn your swamp-math and dragon-slaying skills. But even the mightiest hero sometimes needs a rest. If your little one is feeling a bit "off their onion," here's a guide straight from Far Far Away to help you decide if it's a school day or a stay-at-home-with-Puss-in-Booots-day.
🧅 Send 'Em to the Swamp (School) If...
Just a little fairy-tale sniffle won't stop a true hero! It's okay to send your child if they only have mild symptoms, like:
- A runny nose or a little cough, but no other symptoms.
-A mild stomach ache.
-They haven't thrown up overnight and can keep drinking their potions (liquids).
-A mild rash with no other symptoms.
-Eye drainage that is without fever, pain, or eyelid redness.
-They have not had a fever overnight and have not taken fever-reducing medicine.
🏰 Keep 'Em at the Castle (Home) If...
If your child is feeling more cursed than charming, keep them home to rest and prevent infecting the whole kingdom. They must stay home if:
-They have a temperature higher than 100.4 F.
-They have thrown up two or more times in the past 24 hours.
-Their stool is watery and they might not make it to the bathroom in time.
👑 Seek the Fairy Godmother (Medical Care) If...
If things get truly scary—like facing a fire-breathing dragon—it's time to call a medical professional immediately. Seek medical care if they have:
-A temperature higher than 100.4 F and any of the following: ear pain, sore throat, rash, stomachache, headache, or tooth pain.
-Stomach pain and fever, or have bloody or black stool, or are dehydrated.
-A persistent cough or trouble breathing, or have a fever with the cough.
- Eye swelling, eye pain, or an eye injury.
- A rash that has blisters, is draining, is painful, or looks like bruises, and/or they have a fever with the rash.
If you ever feel lost in the woods, contact your child's healthcare provider, a local urgent care, or our amazing school nurse. Let's make sure our little heroes get to school for their happily ever after💚!

Good afternoon, Welty Family, and welcome back to the kingdom of Quarter 2🏰!

We need those Roadrunners on the move! Don't be late!

¡Buenas tardes, Familia Welty, y bienvenidos de nuevo al reino del Segundo Cuarto 🏰!
Esperamos que sus vacaciones de otoño hayan sido un verdadero cuento de hadas y que hayan encontrado un poco de paz y tranquilidad, ¡quizás incluso mejor que la que encuentra Shrek en su pantano! Extrañamos ver todas sus caras encantadoras.
¡Pero un reino debe seguir un horario! Ha llegado el momento de volver a nuestro horario regular mañana, 20 de octubre de 2025.
¡Necesitamos a esos Correcaminos en movimiento! ¡No lleguen tarde!
👑7:00 am: Tutoría matutina — ¡Levántense y brillen como la Princesa Fiona al amanecer!
👑7:30 am: Desayuno en el Aula — ¡A comer antes de que comience la búsqueda!
👑7:45 am: Comienzo de Clases — El inicio oficial de su aventura.
👑2:45 pm: Aventuras extraescolares — Comienzan 21st Century y Tutoría.
Tenemos nueve semanas ocupadas por delante antes de que termine el primer semestre. Necesitamos que nuestros estudiantes se esfuercen al máximo para prepararse para la evaluación Galileo en noviembre. ¡Podemos con esto 🤓💪💚!

🎃 Swamp-Tastic Halloween Heroes! 💚
The swamp air is thick with a spooky kind of magic, but the Fairy Godmother's tricks (and treats!) are no match for the true heroes in our midst! Just like Shrek and his pals brave the spookiest of castles, this new crew of students has been showing incredible heart and courage. They’re facing down the school week like they’re facing a fire-breathing dragon! 🐉
It's time to light the jack-o'-lanterns and celebrate the students who have proven they have the swamp-power to save the day!
We are thrilled to announce our latest Heroes of the Week who are making our school a magnificent and much less-scary place:
🎃Jesus Borquez (nominated by Ms. Batt)
🕸Maximo Contreras Fuentes (nominated by Ms. Batt)
🦇Victor Cortez Jaime (nominated by Mr. G)
👻Leonardo Valdez Muñoz (nominated by Nurse Karla)
A huge, slimy, and heartfelt congratulations to these fantastic heroes! Your actions are sweeter than any piece of Halloween candy. Keep shining, keep being brave, and let's see which legendary students answer the call next week! 🎉👑
