Dear Parents, I will be your child’s 8B homeroom teacher for the 2025-2026 school year. This year marks an exciting milestone—the culminating year of middle school and the journey toward graduation. While it may feel like a whirlwind at times, it will also be filled with growth, discovery, and memorable moments. The months will go by quickly, so take time to enjoy each step as your child moves closer to high school.

Please review the enclosed pages for essential information about supplies, lunch, snack, arrival, dismissal, and more. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out via email.

I look forward to working with you and your children for a fantastic year ahead!

Warmly, Mrs. Yasmeen Villafranca Room 103

Locks are not necessary.
