Principal's Message
Monday, September 18, 2023


Greetings Eagle Rock Elementary & Magnet Center Families,


We hope this communication finds you well and that the seventh week of school has been a productive one for students and teachers alike. As we embark on this crucial phase of the academic year, we would like to provide you with an important update regarding the mid-reporting period and our instructional focus on writing.


Midpoint Reporting Period
As we approach the midpoint of the quarter we are conducting a thorough assessment of each student's progress toward grade-level standards. The mid-reporting period serves as an opportunity for us to evaluate academic performance, identify areas of strength, and address any concerns that may have arisen.


It is important to note that our primary goal is to ensure that every student is making adequate progress and thriving in their education. We understand that each child learns at their own pace and has unique strengths and challenges. Therefore, our assessments are designed to provide a comprehensive view growth and progress, allowing us to tailor our instruction to meet individual needs effectively.


Instructional Focus on Writing
In preparation for the Smarter Balanced Assessments in the spring, we have placed a strong emphasis on developing student writing. Effective writing is a fundamental tool that not only demonstrates understanding of subject matter, but also enhances critical thinking, communication, and self-expression.


Our skilled educators have implemented strategies and instructional practices that promote writing proficiency across all grade levels. Through engaging lessons, targeted feedback, and ongoing support, we are equipping students with the necessary tools to excel in written expression and succeed in the upcoming assessments this spring.


Parental Involvement
We firmly believe that a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and the school is essential for the holistic development of our students. We kindly request parents and guardians to actively engage in their child's education by:

  1. Encouraging regular writing practice at home.
  2. Monitoring their progress and offering support when needed.
  3. Attending parent-teacher conferences and maintaining open lines of communication with teachers to discuss their child's performance and growth.
Together, we can create an environment that fosters academic success and unlocks the full potential of each student.

We extend our deepest appreciation to our dedicated staff for their tireless efforts in providing a quality education to our students. Your commitment and passion are instrumental in shaping their future.


Thank you for your continued support. We are confident that with our collective efforts our students will thrive and achieve great success.

Warm regards,
Mr. Baez
