Desert View News NCLB
I am very proud to be part of this energizing and productive school year. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alma M. Sandigo. I have been in education for more than 13 years as a primary teacher and as an ELL Coordinator. This year nonetheless, I have been given the honor to join the team of Desert View as the NCLB Mentor. I have pledged to support teachers in their instruction and students in their academic well being; especially as we implement the new District Transformational Reading Program. In the short time I have been here, I have learned that the school counts with a strong leadership, effective and hardworking teachers, resourceful staff, willing to learn students and supportive parents. That is all we need to continue being successful. I am looking forward to sharing a very eventful year with you while we work alongside. “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.” Henry Ford Alma M. Sandigo, NCLB
