Dear Students and Parents:
As you return to school for the 24-25 academic year, you will notice some new faces on our staff, and some familiar ones in new roles. Please help us welcome Ms. Graciela Gutierrez as our new Administrative Assistant. Alba Lopez, Maria Salmeron, Lizbeth Mariscal and Shauna Orta as our new Paraprofessionals’, and familiar faces Ms. Josie Gonzalez as our K/1st/2nd Teacher, Mrs. Dawn Parker as our 3rd/4th/5th Teacher, and Mrs. Tami Merritt as our 6th- 7th-8th grade teacher as well. We are all excited to have these new and returning team members join us and encourage you all to stop in and introduce yourselves as you see them around school.
Our teaching staff strongly encourages each family to participate in their students’ education. You can do this by attending school events such as our open house and parent teacher conferences. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. Please ensure your students are completing any required homework and that they attend school regularly. Missing even one day of school per week drastically interferes with a student’s success.
I look forward to a rewarding and successful school year!
Mr. Martin
Administrator
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We have recently replaced and upgraded our entire camera system! You may have also noticed that our play ground and field have been completely fenced in. We want our parents to take comfort in the knowledge that we are doing everything to keep your children safe.
-Mr. Martin
Bouse Elementary School received a grant from APS to plant trees in the beginning of the year. We are proud to announce that all tree and shrubs have been planted on the school grounds! We would like to thank Carl, Nathan, Jay and Dean for their help with planting, as well as Australian Outback Plants for providing us with beautiful trees!
Our Transportation Department is committed to safely transporting students to and from school and various school events. Student security is our top priority, so we expect all students to follow the bus rules we have established to give every rider a safe and positive bus riding experience. These rules apply to daily riders, occasional riders, and field trip participants.
Please take some time to review the rules below with your child. We appreciate your support!
