Alma A. Pierce Elementary School

Principal's Message

Dear Alma Pierce ES Community, As we dive into Fall, we embrace the cooler weather and colorful days! We hope everyone is enjoying the new season. I want to emphasize the importance of two key elements that pave the way for your child’s academic success: consistent attendance and regular assessments. **Attendance** is the foundation of learning. Every day in the classroom brings new lessons, ideas, and skills that help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. When students attend school regularly, they are better prepared, more engaged, and able to build strong relationships with their peers and teachers. Let’s work together to ensure that our students are in school, on time, every day! In addition, **assessments** play a critical role in helping us understand where each student stands on their learning path. They are not just about grades—they provide valuable feedback that allows teachers to tailor instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. Regular assessments help identify strengths and areas for improvement, guiding us to provide the best support for your child’s success. With your support and partnership, I am confident that this year will be filled with growth and achievements for all of our students. Let’s make this school year the best one yet! Thank you for your continued dedication to your child’s education. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school, ready to learn and thrive. Warm regards, Ms. Noralva Esquivel Principal, Alma A.
