Secondary Principal Weekly Newsletter

Dear Secondary Families,

Thank you to all parents, students, and teachers who participated in Friday’s Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences. Your partnership and engagement make such a difference. Having students reflect on their learning and set goals moving forward is an essential part of the growth process, and we appreciate your continued support in helping them take ownership of their learning journey.

We invite you to join us this Wednesday evening, at 7 p.m., for our very special Arts, Tech, & Drama BOLI WOOD Showcase! 

You are sure to be amazed by the creativity, expression, and talent of our multi-talented students. It’s a wonderful celebration of the arts and an event not to be missed!

Please note that Thursday, November 13th marks the middle of the quarter. Progress Reports will be sent via email to students achieving below 70%. These reports are designed as supportive measures to help students focus on their approaches to learning and ensure they are meeting their full potential. Students who receive Progress Reports are required to attend after-school support sessions until their achievement levels improve.

Additionally, a reminder that Friday, November 14th is a public holiday in La Paz in honor of Bolivia’s Bicentennial. We wish all our families a joyful and reflective long weekend as we celebrate this historic milestone.

Warm regards,
Dr. Peterson

Queridas familias de Secundaria:

Agradecemos sinceramente a todos los padres, estudiantes y docentes que participaron en las Conferencias de Padres, Maestros y Estudiantes el pasado viernes. Su compromiso y colaboración marcan una gran diferencia. Que los estudiantes reflexionen sobre su aprendizaje y establezcan metas hacia el futuro es una parte esencial del proceso de crecimiento, y valoramos enormemente su apoyo continuo para ayudarles a asumir la responsabilidad de su propio camino de aprendizaje.

Les invitamos a acompañarnos este miércoles por la tarde, a las 19:00 horas, en nuestra presentación especial de BOLI WOOD


de Artes, Tecnología, y Drama. ¡Estamos seguros de que quedarán maravillados por la creatividad, la expresión y el talento de nuestros estudiantes multifacéticos! Será una hermosa celebración de las artes y un evento que no se pueden perder.

Les recordamos que el jueves 13 de noviembre marca la mitad del trimestre. Los Informes de Progreso se enviarán por correo electrónico a los estudiantes que tengan un promedio inferior al 70%. Estos informes están diseñados como medidas de apoyo para ayudar a los estudiantes a enfocarse en sus estrategias de aprendizaje y asegurar que alcancen su máximo potencial. Los estudiantes que reciban un Informe de Progreso deberán asistir a las sesiones de apoyo después del horario escolar hasta mejorar su nivel de rendimiento.

Además, les recordamos que el viernes 14 de noviembre es feriado en La Paz en honor al Bicentenario de Bolivia. Deseamos a todas nuestras familias un fin de semana largo lleno de alegría y reflexión al celebrar este importante acontecimiento histórico.

Con aprecio,
Dra. Peterson

From creative academic showcases and experiences to meaningful moments of celebration, our campus has been alive with purpose, pride, and joy. Impactful teaching and learning continues to take place throughout our campus. A couple of examples this week include high school Social Science students engaging in interview simulations with outside guests - a meaningful real-world experience that will surely yield long term impact.
