Welcome Parents, Guardians, and Community Friends to San Pedro Fine Arts Academy.
I am Jaime Velasco, your child’s proud principal at SPFAA. I look forward to working with each and every one of you in this upcoming school year. Amazing things are in store for our students, parents, guardians, and community members!
This school year our focus will be “IgKNIGHTing Brilliance” in your child, both academically and in the fine arts. Our academic focus will revolve around reading and mathematics. Continuous learning and improvement in these two subject areas are needed to succeed in everything that we do in our daily lives. On the fine arts side, our goal is to increase the number of opportunities for our students to develop and display their artistic expression with the following programs: music, visual arts, honor choir, mariachi, cheer, theater, drumline, and our ballet folklórico.
Social-Emotional Learning also plays an important role in your child’s development. Our students, teachers, and counselor will be using the CharacterStrong curriculum to help create “a more loving world.” Students will have an opportunity to serve on the Knights of the Round Table, the campus’ new student council with the campus administration. A final addition will be the Armor of Virtue, the five virtues of a San Pedro Knight that our students will display: Scholarship, Generosity, Compassion, Courage, and Perseverance.
It is my philosophy that an elementary campus is the flagship of the school district. We lay the foundation necessary for the secondary campuses to build upon. Remember that you are your child’s first teacher. As such, your support is crucial for our success.
We will continue to channel our attention to reaching beyond the new goal of 97% attendance, increasing student enrollment, and creating a positive working relationship with you and our community partners. The adventure begins at San Pedro Fine Arts Academy, and our students will be prepared for their educational journey as they advance their way through Robstown ISD’s school system.
Please join us as we embark on the adventure that will create success for all!
