Dear Sparks Families,

As we approach Spring Break, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all of our students and families for a restful and enjoyable week. This is a wonderful time to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together.

Please note that school will be closed from March 9–13 for Spring Break, and students will return on Tuesday, March 17.

We encourage you to review our school calendar for upcoming events and important dates. In particular:

• Kinder Spirit Night – March 19: Support our Kindergarten fundraiser by visiting Chick-fil-A for Spirit Night.

• Coffee with the Principal – March 20: Join us for an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and learn more about our school community.

• Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr – March 20: Ramadan began the evening of February 17 and is expected to conclude on March 19, 2026. Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is expected to occur on March 19 or 20, depending on the sighting of the moon. To honor this special time, students may wear their best outfits in celebration of Eid ul-Fitr. We appreciate your support in recognizing and respecting the cultural and religious traditions that make up our school community.

Looking ahead, we also have many opportunities for families and students to connect and learn together. Please save the date for our upcoming Book Fair and Spring Into Reading Fest.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and restorative Spring Break.

Sincerely,

Jorge Rodriguez

Principal, Southeast Elementary
