Welcome Message


 Hello, to all of my students and parents for this new school year of 2011-2012. I am very excited about having a new group of students to watch grow, mature and increase their "smarts".  
 Parents I encourage you to be an active part of your child's learning process. That is, talk to them and listen to them and talk and communicate with me. 

Mrs. Nieves
