Dear Schenck Families,
I am so excited to be a part of the Kate Schenck family.  At Schenck the vision for our students is Equity and Excellence for all students.  We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming and positive environment were students can grow to be the best that they can be.  
This year's theme is "Leading the Way". Our goal is to empower students to become leaders.  Students will be taught Covey's 7 Habits of Happy Kids.  The seven habits are: (1)be proactive, (2) begin with the end in mind, (3) put first things first, (4)think win-win, (5) seek first to understand, then to be understood, (6)synergy, and (7) sharpen the saw.  These are life skills that will help them to be leaders for life. 
This year Schenck Elementary is a dual language/bilingual campus.  Students in Pre-kinder, Kinder, and First grade may enroll in the dual classes.  SAISD follows an 80/20 model.  Students in PreK and Kinder are taught 80% of the day in Spanish and 20% in English. First grade students have 70% of their day in Spanish and 30% in English. Each year the Spanish decreases and the English increases until students are at a 50% Spanish, 50% English by third grade and beyond. We are very excited about developing bilingual, bi-literate and bi-cultured student citizens. 
Together we will empower Schenck students to be leaders not just at school but in society.  Thank you for your support. 
Susan Del Toro, Principal 

Estimadas familias de Schenck,

Estoy bien emocionada de ser parte de la familia de Kate Schenck. Nuestra visión para la escuela es equidad y excelencia para todos los estudiantes. Estamos comprometidos a crear un ambiente seguro y positivo donde todos los alumnos podrán avanzar a sus habilidades más altas.

Nuestro enfoque será el liderazgo. Nuestra meta es apoyar a los estudiantes en su desarrollo como líderes. Los alumnos aprenderán los 7 hábitos de niños felices. Los siete hábitos son: (1) ser proactivo, (2) comenzar con un fin en mente, (3) poner primero lo primero, (4) pensar ganar ganar, (5) buscar primero entender, luego ser entendido, (6) sinergizar y (7) afilar la sierra. Estos son destrezas de la vida que les ayudarán a ser líderes por vida.

Este año, Kate Schenck es una escuela de lenguaje dual. Alumnos en Pre-Kinder, Kinder y primer grado podrán inscribirse en el programa dual. El distrito sigue un modelo de 80/20. Los alumnos de Pre-Kinder y Kinder son enseñados en español el 80% del día y en inglés el 20% del día. En primero, los alumnos reciben instrucción en español el 70% del día y en inglés el 30% del día. Cada año, el porcentaje de español baja y el porcentaje de inglés sube hasta que la enseñanza es 50% en español y 50% en inglés en tercer grado y adelante. Estamos muy emocionados de crear estudiantes bilingües, biletrados y biculturales.

Juntos empoderaremos a los alumnos de Schenck a ser líderes en la comunidad tanto como en la escuela. Gracias por su apoyo. 

Susan Del Toro, Directora
