Hello Huskies!
Summer is here again and we can now celebrate and reflect on our accomplishments over the past year! We would like to wish our 8th grade students a fond farewell and hope that you do even better in high school. As for the rest of the students, we hope you can take some time to enjoy the summer break with your friends and family. We will be getting the school ready for the start of the new year as we will be exploring a new language arts program at all grade levels. Some of the teachers will be attending the AVID Summer Institute in Anaheim to gain some fresh ideas and many other teachers will be receiving training in the new language arts program. We are planning to open up a parent center/wellness center in the new year and we would love for some of our Husky parents to get involved! We appreciate all of your commitment to making Esqueda School the best place for kids to learn!
Remember the first day of school is on Monday, August 13, 2018. We will see you then if not before!
See you soon,
Kevin Tonai, Principal
