Today, Tuesday August 18 begins a new school year! Maybe you have
been preparing your family for the new routine or shopping for new school
clothes. The newness is fun all in itself. At school there are new teachers,
new friends (a new principal J) and new opportunities to learn. To help
understand all the newness, we have organized Back to School Night on
Thursday, August 20 so you can get information about the school year right
away.

Look for an invitation from the PTA to sign up for Konstella, a new,
private online tool and app that Escondido is using this year to
communicate with parents, teachers and staff, organize classroom
and school wide activities, and access the school directory. More
details will be in your email invitation to join and in the Back to
School packet, or https://www.konstella.com/cd/hV1oHh
Si ven un email de Konstella, es un programa de la PTA para facilitar
el contacto entre padres, maestros y otros miembros de la
comunidad escolar en un ambiente online seguro! Habrá mas
información en los paquetes Back to School.

PAUSD Mission Statement:
We support all PAUSD
students as they prepare
themselves to thrive as
global citizens in a
rapidly changing world.
We develop our
students’ knowledge,
critical thinking and
problem solving skills,
and nurture their
curiosity, creativity and
resilience, empowering
every child to reach his
or her full intellectual,
social and creative
potential.
“…our students’ knowledge…”
“…el conocimiento de nuestros
estudiantes…”
Our mission:
to develop knowledge
Nuestra misión:
desarrollar conocimiento
I like the Spanish word that I used to translate the
English word “knowledge” above. It comes from
“conocer”, which means both to meet or know
someone and to know a city or a theme, as opposed
to a simple fact (the verb “saber”). I’d like to suggest
that we enrich our thoughts about the type of
knowledge we develop by using these two Spanish
words.
Me gusta la palabra “conocer” que traduce el ingles
“knowledge” arriba en el título. Me gusta porque al
contrario a “saber” un hecho, conocer se usa para
conocer a personas, lugares, temas. Sugiero que
tomemos en cuento tanto el ‘conocer un tema’
como ‘el saber una cosa’ cuando desarrolamos a
nuestros hijos.
