La Villa ISD is approaching the mid point of the second semester of a very challenging school year. With all of the challenges that we as a district and community have been faced with, I am still in awe and feel so blessed to be the Robert Munoz superintendent of such an Superintendent extraordinary place that pulls together to support each other. Our students, staff, parents, and community members have gone above and beyond to ensure that our schools have run safely and smoothly with all of the challenges of remote learning at home and with on-campus instruction while maintaining all local, regional, state and national guidelines and protocol. It has been quite a year, but it has also been a successful one, and I am so grateful for all of the hard work everyone has put forth for that success to happen!

Queridas familias, La Villa ISD se acerca a la mitad del segundo semestre de un año escolar muy desafiante. Con todos los desafíos a los que nos hemos enfrentado como distrito y comunidad, todavía estoy asombrado y me siento tan bendecido de ser el superintendente de un lugar tan extraordinario que se une para apoyarse mutuamente. Nuestros estudiantes, personal, padres y miembros de la comunidad han hecho todo lo posible para garantizar que nuestras escuelas funcionen de manera segura y sin problemas con todos los desafíos del aprendizaje remoto en el hogar y con la instrucción en el campus mientras se mantienen todos los aspectos locales, regionales, estatales y directrices y protocolos nacionales. Ha sido un gran año, pero también ha sido un éxito, y estoy muy agradecido por todo el arduo trabajo que todos han realizado para que ese éxito se produzca.

This newsletter is one of many ways our district will communicate the great things happening at La Villa ISD with our families and community. Please follow us on our district and campus websites and social media. I want to wish everyone much happiness and joy!

Este boletín es una de las muchas formas en que nuestro distrito comunicará las grandes cosas que suceden en La Villa ISD con nuestras familias y comunidad. Síganos en los sitios web y redes sociales de nuestro distrito y campus. ¡Quiero desearles a todos mucha felicidad y alegría!

Sincerely, Superintendent of Schools
