Welcome to Preuss, Class of 2023!

Comments

Preuss Students and Families,

Congratulations on being accepted to Preuss! Now that you are here, be prepared to work hard, yet reap great rewards! Make sure that you have the materials you need (notebooks, index cards, glue, pencils, etc). Families, make sure your student has a quiet place to do their homework every day and check your child's planner to make sure their homework is done. Also, check their backpacks daily to make sure they are organized and prepared for the next days classes (Blocks 1-4 Mon/Wed, Blocks 5-8 Tues/Thurs, Fridays rotate). Looking forward to a great year!

Mrs. Melissa Anguiano ([email protected] or [email protected])
