12/14 Family Newsletter

Hello bulldog families,


My name is Esmeralda Rueda I am a Dean of students for the Middle School.  I have been working in education for about 8 years. For 5 years, I’ve worked in our Far Northeast community.  I identify and connect with our school community in various ways and enjoy being part of our student educational journey.  Can you believe we have concluded the first half of the school year?  We want to thank you for your continuous partnership and collaboration thus far, and we look forward to continuing to work with you and our students for the remainder of the school year.  I wish you a wonderful Winter break and safe travels to those who plan on going out of town to be with family and friends.


Winter break is from December 18th- January 2nd, and students return to school on January 3, 2024.
