Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
It is hard to believe that 2016 is coming to a close. I can’t remember ever having school scheduled so close to the holidays. We know that students and families have many extra events planned over the next week. Excitement is running high. One thing that really helps us in the classroom is when parents keep routines with meals and bedtimes. We have a full four days next week. Your support will help to keep our days productive and positive.
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt

Read your heart out for the holidays!
