Greetings,
Welcome back to school! My name is Angel Alicea, and I am the Home-School Assistant for East Upper and Lower Schools. It is truly a pleasure to work alongside you in support of our scholars' success.
This letter serves as a brief introduction. As the Home-School Assistant, my role is to support our school, families, and scholars by helping parents and guardians navigate the educational system and connecting them with valuable parent learning opportunities.
One of the core goals at East is to provide families and community members with the resources and programs necessary to support every scholar's success. To bring this vision to life, we have the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Committee. This committee is made up of East parents, family members, community members, scholars, teachers, administrators, and staff. Together, we work to enhance student learning and development by building on the strengths of our school, families, and community.
If you're interested in learning more or getting involved with FACE, please visit East’s parent webpage: https://www.rcsdk12.org/EastFACE.
I also want to let you know about the RCSD PowerSchool Parent Portal, a valuable tool that many of our families are using to stay connected with their scholar’s grades, attendance, and overall educational progress. Through the Parent Portal, you will also have the opportunity to stay in direct contact with your scholar’s teachers.
We strongly encourage all families to take advantage of this resource to stay informed and engaged. If you need any support with creating a Parent Portal account, please feel free to reach out to me—I'd be happy to guide you through the process and provide the help you need.
Our first day of school is Thursday, September 4, 2025, and I’m excited to begin this new academic year with you and your child. For more information about upcoming school events, please refer to our FACE webpage regularly for updates and check 2025–2026 FACE Calendar of Events.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact me by phone at (585) 288-3130 ext. 1001, by email at Angel.Alicea1@rcsdk12.org, or stop by my desk in the East Main Office.
I look forward to working together to make this school year a successful one for all our scholars.
Sincerely,
Angel Alicea

Saludos,
¡Bienvenidos de nuevo a la escuela! Me llamo Angel Alicea y soy la Asistente de Hogar y Escuela de las escuelas East Upper y Lower. Es un verdadero placer trabajar con ustedes para apoyar el éxito de nuestros estudiantes.
Esta carta sirve como una breve introducción. Como Asistente de Hogar y Escuela, mi función es apoyar a nuestra escuela, familias y estudiantes, ayudando a los padres y tutores a navegar por el sistema educativo y conectándolos con valiosas oportunidades de aprendizaje para padres.
Uno de los objetivos principales de East es brindar a las familias y a los miembros de la comunidad los recursos y programas necesarios para apoyar el éxito de cada estudiante. Para hacer realidad esta visión, contamos con el Comité de Participación Familiar y Comunitaria (FACE). Este comité está compuesto por padres, familiares, miembros de la comunidad, estudiantes, maestros, administradores y personal de East. Juntos, trabajamos para mejorar el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de los estudiantes, aprovechando las fortalezas de nuestra escuela, familias y comunidad. Si le interesa obtener más información o participar en FACE, visite la página web para padres de East: https://www.rcsdk12.org/EastFACE.
También quiero informarle sobre el Portal para Padres PowerSchool del RCSD, una valiosa herramienta que muchas de nuestras familias utilizan para mantenerse al tanto de las calificaciones, la asistencia y el progreso educativo general de sus hijos. A través del Portal para Padres, también tendrá la oportunidad de mantenerse en contacto directo con los maestros de su hijo.
Recomendamos encarecidamente a todas las familias que aprovechen este recurso para mantenerse informados y comprometidos. Si necesita ayuda para crear una cuenta en el Portal para Padres, no dude en contactarme. Con gusto le guiaré en el proceso y le brindaré la ayuda que necesite.
Nuestro primer día de clases es el jueves 4 de septiembre de 2025 y estoy emocionado de comenzar este nuevo año académico con usted y su hijo. Para obtener más información sobre los próximos eventos escolares, consulte nuestra página web de FACE con regularidad para obtener actualizaciones y consulte el Calendario de Eventos de FACE 2025-2026. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita ayuda, no dude en contactarme por teléfono al (585) 288-3130 ext. 1001, por correo electrónico a Angel.Alicea1@rcsdk12.org o visíteme en la Oficina Principal de la East.
Espero con interés trabajar juntos para que este año escolar sea un éxito para todos nuestros estudiantes.
Atentamente,

Community Café
Community Café
The Community Café Project at East represents a transformative approach to community engagement–rooted in authentic dialogue and collaboration–within the framework of our community school. Drawing inspiration from the Be Strong Families Parent Café model, which RTFA’s Whole Child Initiative successfully rolled out in 2023, East EPO’s Community Cafés serve as a sanctuary for fostering genuine connections among scholars, families, staff, and community partners. This initiative aims to broaden the circle of support for scholars by establishing a safe, respectful space where diverse stakeholders can gather to explore meaningful questions. Facilitators prioritize creating an environment where every contribution is not only encouraged, but also deeply valued. East EPO began rolling out community cafes in December 2023 and will continue in 2024.

Every year we survey families about what school-related topics you would to learn more about. In previous years, we held a monthly Family Learning Activity on a topic chosen by you.
Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, we are transitioning to a virtual Family Learning Library, an online archive that will be accessible for families and scholars at all times on a variety of topics. These topics are still a result of our annual surveys and family feedback.
Topics include:
Graduation Requirements
NCAA Requirements
Financial Literacy
Chronic Absenteeism
College Do’s & Don’ts
Family Engagement
Job Readiness
Goal Setting
We are always looking for feedback! If you have any suggestions for a topic you'd like to see covered, please don't hesitate to reach out.
