Farewell Mrs. Gonzalez

It is with a bittersweet mind that I write this post. As you all now know, Mrs. Gonzalez will be leaving Ac2E Magnet Middle School. She has been offered an amazing opportunity as Director of Federal Programs for RGCCISD. With all of the love imaginable and great positive thoughts I, Mr. Marcos Vargas, wish you the best in your new Journey Mrs. Gonzalez. You have been a tremendous leader for our school, district, and community. I know I speak on behalf of all of my students when we say we will truly miss you Mrs. Gonzalez but we are so happy for you new endeavors. Best of luck!

I would also like to welcome our new Principal, Mr. Henry Cantu! With an extensive background in education for this district, athletic coaching experience, Director of the AP Program at Rio Grande City High School, and as an administrator there, Mr. Cantu is more the qualified to take this Magent middle school right where Mrs. Gonzalez left it, straight to the future of continued success. 

2nd Six Weeks - Final Grades

The 2nd Six Weeks is officially over! Wow, how fast did it fly by? Your final grade for my class will be posted BY Friday 11/4/2016. I am very proud at how much you all have grown in my class this Six Weeks! I know you never knew there was so much detail and structure to writing an essay, but it will pay off! Keep asking questions and keep working hard!

3rd Six Weeks

The 3rd Six Weeks starts on Tuesday November 8, 2016.

THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY 11/7/2016. 

The end of the 2nd Six Weeks ended on a very high note. All students did very well on their common assessment! Also, as a grade we had about a 98% turn in rate on our homework. Let's shoot for a 100% this coming six weeks! Happy Homecoming to all Rattlers!
