Dear Escalante-Biggs Academy Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to have you and your little ones back for another year of growth, exploration, and learning. Our team has been hard at work preparing for this school year, and we are excited to see the bright, curious faces of our students as they walk through our doors.

We are proud to share some wonderful news: our school has been recognized by the district for our remarkable improvement in attendance! This achievement reflects the dedication of our entire school community, and it fuels our commitment to continuing this positive trend. Our goal is to further enhance our attendance and support your child’s holistic development, focusing on their social-emotional growth, academic progress, and executive functioning skills.

To help us achieve this, we are seeking three parent representatives for our Collaborative School Committee (CSC). Being a CSC member is a great way to be involved in shaping the future of our school and to have a direct impact on the decisions that affect your child’s education. More information about this opportunity will be coming soon, and we encourage interested parents to consider participating.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families who attended our Back to School Night. Your engagement and support make a significant difference in our school community.

We invite you to join us for our first Coffee with the Collaborative School Committee on September 17 at 8:45 a.m. This informal gathering is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other parents, learn more about our plans for the year, and discuss ways we can work together to support our children’s success.

A special thank you goes out to our dedicated teachers and staff. They have been working diligently to set up the classrooms and ensure a welcoming environment for every student. Their hard work and commitment are truly appreciated, and they are eager to provide a nurturing space where every child feels they belong and can thrive.

We look forward to a fantastic year ahead, filled with new learning experiences and memorable moments. Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. Here’s to a wonderful school year!

Sincerely, Marta Rodenas Principal
