Dear Galena Park ISD Family and Friends,

As we spring forward into April, I am excited to share updates and reminders to help us continue on our path to a successful school year. This month brings important academic milestones and opportunities for relaxation and reflection.

As the testing season approaches, we are focused on ensuring that all students are well-prepared for their upcoming assessments. Our dedicated teachers and staff are working diligently to provide students with the support and resources they need to excel. I encourage students to take advantage of study materials, practice tests, and additional help sessions offered by their teachers. Parents, your support is invaluable as well during this time. Encouraging your children to establish a consistent study routine and ensuring they get adequate rest will enhance their ability to succeed.

I would also like to remind everyone that the Easter break provides a well-deserved pause from our daily routines. Students will have a holiday break from Friday, April 18^th, to Tuesday, April 22^nd. This is a perfect time for students and families to relax, enjoy quality time together, and recharge. I hope each of you finds joy and peace during this special time and returns refreshed and ready to tackle the remaining weeks of the school year.

In April, we are highlighting the character trait of self-discipline, which involves controlling one's actions, emotions, and impulses to achieve long-term success. As students prepare for tests and navigate their responsibilities, practicing self-discipline will help them manage their time effectively. I encourage all students to set personal goals and work steadily towards achieving them. As a community, let’s support one another in cultivating this important trait and empower everyone to reach their highest potential.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support. Together, we can create a positive and encouraging environment for our students to thrive. I wish you all a successful and fulfilling month ahead.

Sincerely,

John Moore, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
