Weekly Message from Principal Arizmendi 29 August 2025

Dear Parents,

As we wrap up our third week of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Our students have settled into routines, are engaging actively in their learning, and are already showing growth and excitement in the classroom. We also want to give a shout-out to our Pre-K students who completed their first week of school! How exciting!! 

This week, we’ve seen students building strong classroom communities, practicing positive habits, and demonstrating our shared values of respect, responsibility, and resilience. It’s truly inspiring to witness their enthusiasm and commitment.

On Tuesday, 09 SEP there is a PTO meeting at 1730 in the commons. We hope you can join us to help plan and support our WT Sampson students. Our after-school activities are beginning to roll out. In the very near future, we will be creating a “Menu” of after school activities. Please continue to monitor our school FB page, the web site, and your emails for pertinent and up-to-date information. Lastly, please save the date for our Fall Open House on 11 SEP 2025 from 1630-1830. 

We look forward to keeping this momentum going as we head into the weeks ahead. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns—we’re here to support you and your child every step of the way.

Yours in Service,

Chester J. Arizmendi
