A Message From Your Principal
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. This was a big year of growth for us. Our students have
increased their math and reading knowledge and I am proud of our academic gains. We will strive to
really get parents and guardians to become our partners in ensuring that our students have access to
the best education, an education they deserve! The teachers and staff at our school have some big
goals for this school year and we need your help more than ever. We will be sharing student data and
student goals with parents and guardians. This is going to be another big year of growth!
We will continue to use Class Dojo as an easy form of communication. Teachers will also use the
behavior notification portion of the app as well. We will also be utilizing i-Ready to help us gather data
and give extra help on skills that students need extra help on.
I am looking forward to continuing to work with our Pecos Panther family. We have great things
planned to incorporate family and community into evening events throughout the school year. As
always, please feel free to contact me at (505) 603-7910 or email me at cgallegos@pecos.k12.nm.us.
