Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year!  I hope this letter finds you healthy, happy, and ready to get back to school. I hope you all had a wonderful summer filled with family, friends, and of course- FUN! If you are new to DeMiguel—Welcome! You are now an official LOBO! Spirit Day is every Friday.  Our students and staff wear black, teal, or grey.

You will notice some exciting changes on our athletic field! Our solar panels are up and running and our track is available for our students and families ;)

We have had a few staffing changes over the summer! Please welcome….. 

Marci Sanocki  is joining our Kindergarten team (previously at Thomas),

Jennifer Cernohous is joining our First Grade team (previously at Kinsey),

Heidi Maillet is joining our Second Grade team (previously at Kinsey),

Suzanne Scheid will be returning to our Second Grade team,

Kristen Doughman will be joining our Fourth Grade team (previously at SMS),

 We have many school goals; this one you can help us with! One of our school goals is to build “community” with families and community members. We have many “DeMIguel Community” events. Please sign up to help out if you can! We communicate with our families a variety of ways:  emails, our DeMiguel Blog, Facebook, DeMiguel website , Connect Ed phone calls, and teachers’ letters home. If you have a specific question, please email me.

We are working on creating a climate that educates all students and allows for flexibility of different learning styles and maximizing potential of every student. There are certain expectations for every grade level--so stay tuned for exciting happenings in your child’s classroom. If you are interested in getting more involved; please attend our PTO meetings.

The DeMiguel team encourages families to become involved in all aspects of their child’s educational experience. Research has demonstrated that students achieve a higher level of academic achievement if their parents are actively involved. At DeMiguel, we believe that families and staff working together create an environment that enables students’ success.  As your DeMiguel faculty we are committed to creating the best educational experience for your child. Let the learning begin! Our classrooms –K-5^th will be using Harcourt Reading, Envision Math, TCI for Social Studies, FOSS Kits for Science,  and our newly purchased Engineering is Elementary(1st - 5th),  Rocket Math (1^st-5^th), and AR reading (1^st-5^th). To read more about our programs go to our DeMiguel homepage.

** Drop off and Pick up**

Morning Drop Off- Is just that, be ready to have your child(ren)unload quickly. Please do not have long discussions at our drop-off. This will enable the traffic to move quickly and smoothly. Drop off is at the flag pole in the front, at 8:15. We do not have supervision until 8:15.

Afternoon Pick-up-  Please help us keep all children safe by following the following procedures.

ENTERING DEMIGUEL FROM GILLENWATER

There are two one way lanes that enter the school on S. Gillenwater. The left lane is the one that goes to our EAST entrance where Kindergarten and first graders are picked up. This is also the lane used for emergency vehicles, buses, handicapped parking, and people wishing to park and come in the building.  The right lane (going down Gillenwater) is for individuals picking up students at the flag pole or for individuals who wish to park and come inside.

ONCE YOU HAVE PASSED THE CIRCLE DRIVE

Once you pass the circle drive there are another  two lanes. The left lane is if you want to park (in the front of the building) and come inside. The right lane is for pick-up of students 2^nd-5^th  by the flag pole.

I am thankful and honored to have served the DeMiguel learners and community for four years. Each year I learn so many things from our littlest lobos. I enjoy each day that I am here!

Respectfully,

Ninon Wilson
