WEEKLY NOTES FROM THE DESK OF MRS. ESPINOZA WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9, 2026
Greetings, Villano Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful extended weekend. Last week, you should have received information from your child's homeroom teacher about our upcoming parent conference sign-ups. These individual meetings with your child's teacher provide you with the opportunity to learn firsthand about your child's progress and future goals. Please sign up for your conference as soon as possible. DON'T MISS THIS POWERFUL EVENT
The Emerson Community Alliance is partnering with us to present a screening of the film "Screenagers" for parents and students. See the flyer below for more information and to register.
There are three choices daily: a hot meal, a selection of cold sandwiches, or a bagel/yogurt bag. Students must have money in their accounts to purchase a meal. Information on how to add money to your child's lunch account can be found HERE.
The monthly menu will be posted on the school website and shared in my weekly emails.
