Welcome Back, El Paso ISD! 🌟

We hope you had an amazing Spring Break! ☀️ As we head into the final stretch of the school year, let’s finish strong together. Show up, stay engaged, and be #RightHereRightNow! 💪📚

Dear Families,
Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed a restful and joyful Spring Break. As we return to school, we are excited, energized, and ready to learn together.

This year our focus across campus is kindness. We are encouraging all students to show kindness in their words, actions, and choices each day—whether it’s including others, offering help, or simply sharing a smile. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference in creating a positive and supportive school environment for everyone.

Our teachers will be reinforcing this message in classrooms, and we invite you to partner with us by talking with your child about the importance of empathy, respect, and caring for others. Together, we can help our students grow not only academically, but also as compassionate and responsible individuals.
We are looking forward to a strong finish to the school year, filled with learning, growth, and kindness.

I would also like to extend a special congratulations to our wonderful school secretary, Lisa Guzman, for being named a finalist for Support Person of the Year at EPISD. We are incredibly proud of her dedication and the positive impact she makes on our school community every day.

Thank you for your continued support.
Don Belknap
