A Message from the Principal

English | Espanol

Dear Parent or Guardians,

I want to welcome you and to the 2011-12 school year.

As you know, this past July, the Portland Public Schools Board voted to rename our school after Cesar E. Chavez. This is the last of the four merged schools to be renamed. We had an extensive process for name selection that started back in April. We heard from parents, teachers, students, and community members. We want to thank you for your input and suggestions.

All of us will have a chance to develop our vision and mission for Cesar Chavez School. We want you to join us in making our school the best for our students. We will be sending you invitations to help us create the best learning environment for our students and our community.

All of us here at Cesar Chavez School are pleased to welcome you and your children. Our goal is to provide our students with a safe environment and to strive for academic excellence by making sure that every student reaches their academic potential.

We are interested in engaging our community (parents, guardians, business partners, community members) in a variety of school committees and activities. As an example you can be part of the School Site Council (SSC) or the Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Volunteers are always needed to assist at many levels. Please contact your child’s teacher or the office for more information at 503-916-5666

We want to thank Comcast again for sponsoring our school for the last seven years by providing a backpack and school supplies for our students.

Sincerely,
Antonio Lopez Principal
Veronica Magallanes Assistant Principal


Estimados Padres o guardians,

Deseamos darle las bienvenida al 2011-12

Como ustedes ya saben, este Julio pasado la Mesa Directiva del Distrito decidio que nuestra escuela fuera renombrada en honor de Cesar E. Chavez. Esta fue una de las ultimas cuatro escuelas que fueron reconstituidas y que recibieron un Nuevo nombre. Tuvimos un proceso extensivo que comenzo en abril. Escuchamos de padres, maestros, estudiantes, y miembros de la comunidad. Deseamos extenderle nuestro agradecimiento por su participacion y sugerencias.

Todos ustedes en conjunto con nosotros tendremos la oportunidad de poder crear la vision y mission de nuestra nueva escuela. Esperamos que se una a nosotros al crear una escuela que sea la major para nuestros estudiantes y comunidad. Le estaremos mandando invitaciones para que nos acompane en este proceso.

Todos aqui en la Escuela Cesar Chavez estamos muy contentos de darles la bienvenida. Nuestra meta es el de proveer a nuestros estudiantes con un ambiente de seguridad, sano y donde todos los estudiantes alcanzen su potencial academico. Estamos interesados en que nos acompane a ser parte de los diferentes comites de la escuela. Puede ser parte del Consejo de Sitio Escolar (SSC) o de el PAT o Asociacion de Padres y Maestros.

Siempre necesitamos voluntaries que nos puedan asistir en diferentes niveles. Si esta interesado/a en participar, favor de ponerse en contacto con los maestros de sus hijos o puede llamar a la oficina para mas informacion al 503-916-5666.

Deseamos darles las gracias a Comcast por estar con nosotors durante los ultims ocho anos al proveer a nuestros estudiantes con mochilas y utiles escolares.

A su servicio
