Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, and Esteemed Community Members,

I am thrilled to extend my warmest welcome to all of you as we embark on a new academic year at José de Escandón STEM Elementary. It's a pleasure to address not only our students but the entire community that plays an integral role in our educational journey.

As your dedicated school counselor, I am honored to be a part of this dynamic and innovative community. Our school stands as a beacon of exploration, discovery, and growth, and it is our collective effort that makes it thrive.

To our exceptional students:

You are the heart and soul of this institution. You are the curious minds and the eager learners who will shape the future through the lens of STEM. Remember, each day is an opportunity to question, experiment, and discover. Embrace the challenges, celebrate your achievements, and never be afraid to ask questions or seek help when needed. Your potential knows no bounds, and I am here to support you in your academic and personal journey.

We are not just a school; we are a family. Your involvement and support enrich our students' learning experiences in numerous ways. Whether you are a volunteer, a local business partner, or simply a well-wisher, your contributions are vital to our collective growth.

In the coming months, I look forward to getting to know each of you better, working together to overcome challenges, and celebrating the many achievements that await us. Let us approach this school year with a sense of excitement, curiosity, and unity.

Together, we will create an environment where our students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Remember, every member of our community is an essential piece of the puzzle, and when we come together, we create something truly remarkable.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education, and I am here to support you all every step of the way.

Warm regards,

Jose Vasquez,
