Margil Elementary Families,
We’ve had a busy and exciting week on campus! As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to share a few important updates.
First, we noticed a significant increase in absences this week—almost 100 more than usual. Daily attendance is critical, especially as students wrap up learning, complete end-of-year assessments, and prepare for celebrations. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is at school every day and on time.
We are also excited to kick off our **Field Day Incentive Pass** this week! Students who have met expectations (attendance and behavior) will have the opportunity to participate in this fun and rewarding event. We look forward to celebrating their hard work and positive choices!
Attached you will find:
📌 Attendance information
📌 Elephant Walk flyer (calling all former Margil Eagles graduating this year!)

Let’s finish strong, Eagles! 🦅💙💛

Get ready to celebrate, Margil families! Tomorrow is the big day for our Fiesta Parade, and we can’t wait to see our scholars showing off their spirit. The festivities will take place both inside the building and outside along the courtyard.
To ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone, please take note of the following details:
📍 Where to Watch:
Due to the mud and rain, we have designated several areas for parents and guests to enjoy the parade with minimal mud and puddles.
The Cafeteria
The Gym
The Courtyard
📝 Entry & Sign-In:
All visitors must sign in at the Gym doors to enter the campus. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure you have plenty of time to get checked in before the music starts!
🎒 Early Dismissal:
If you would like to take your child home after the festivities, you may sign them out directly at their classroom with their teacher after the parade and all students are back in their classrooms. The intercom will be used to play music, so we will not be able to call them to the office.
Let’s make this a vibrant and memorable day for our students and our community. We look forward to seeing you all there in your best Fiesta colors!
VIVA MARGIL! 🎊

As part of this celebration, we are creating a timeline of Antonio Margil’s life and the history of Margil Elementary.

📣 Weekly Update
Margil Families,
This is a friendly reminder that we will have school on Monday. While Easter is a special time for many, Easter Monday is not a school holiday, and we look forward to seeing all of our students on campus.
As we prepare to support our students who will be taking the STAAR test on Tuesday, we are excited to build a positive and encouraging atmosphere! 🎉 On Monday, we will host a short parade in the hallways to cheer on our testers and show them how much we believe in them. During STAAR testing days, we will be a closed campus.
To make it even more fun, we invite all students to dress up as superheroes 🦸♀️🦸♂️—because our testers truly are our superheroes, and we want them to feel supported and celebrated by their peers!
📌 Don’t forget: Registration for the 2026–2027 school year is now open! Please be sure to complete your child’s registration as soon as possible to secure their spot for next year.
Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to see our school community come together in encouragement.
