Mariachi Photos

Hello students and parents,
During our 5th period class, our mariachi students will be taking individual profile photos for their group shot for the yearbook. Students will NOT HAVE TO DRESS BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL. Please ensure that the suits are pressed and drop them off before period 1 tomorrow in M2. Jackets and white shirt are the only items we need for the photos. We will only take photos during period 5 on Wed and Thursday - Wednesday for our Violins and Thursday for our Guitar, Bassists, and Trumpet. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
 
Hola estudiantes y padres,
Durante nuestra clase del quinto período, nuestros estudiantes de mariachi tomarán fotografías de perfil individuales para su fotografía grupal para el anuario. Los estudiantes NO TENDRÁN QUE VESTIRSE ANTES DE LLEGAR A LA ESCUELA. Asegúrese de que los trajes estén planchados y déjelos mañana antes del período 1 en M2. Chaquetas y camisa blanca son los únicos elementos que necesitamos para las fotos. Solo tomaremos fotos durante el período 5 los miércoles y jueves: miércoles para nuestros violines y jueves para nuestra guitarra, bajista y trompeta.
Gracias por su atención a este asunto.

Dear Mariachi Los Jaguares students and parents,

Starting next Wednesday, February 21, 2024, our school will be hosting the second annual East Los Angeles Mariachi Workshops. These workshops were granted to us by a grant by the California Arts Council and the International Mariachi Women's Foundation. El Sereno will be hosting the student mariachi groups from Roosevelt HS, Mendez HS, Garfield HS, Wilson HS, Hollenbeck MS, and Griffith MS.

The workshops will be tailored around the music and style of mariachi and will be taught to our students for NO CHARGE. It is also a special treat as they will be taught by the legendary Mariachi Sol de Mexico and Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles, L.A.'s first all-female mariachi!

All mariachi students are expected to attend as El Sereno is the host school. The classes will run from 2/21, 2/28, and 3/6 between the hours of 4:30-8:30PM. All students have received the music that will be taught in the workshops ahead of time, so they should be practicing at home in preparation for these master classes.

If you have any questions regarding these workshops, please feel free to call me at 323-379-9480.

Thank you for your continued support

-Mrs. Austin

Parent Conference Success!

Dear parents/guardians,
 
If you were unable to attend last night's Parent Conference, here are a couple of important dates and details we went over:
 
1. The Winter Concert is on 12/7/23 in the ESMS Auditorium. We will be sending out a letter with an itinerary and details on what students will be expected to wear for the concert. Keep an eye out for details posted/sent to you before Thanksgiving.
 
2. Students can checkout instruments ANY time during the school day. I do advise the students when I am unable to be in the classroom after school; most teachers are pretty flexible with students coming toward the end of 7th period to collect their instruments as well.
 
3. All students will be participating in a few performances on campus AND off campus in the Spring. These will be music festivals around the district and even at a local theme park!
 
4. Keep encouraging your student to practice around you so they gain more confidence in their technique.
 
5. I do have music stands students can also check out as of 10/23 to help them improve their sight-reading skills.
 
6. We will have some fundraising coming up and you will get letters regarding that as well!
 
If you did attend: Thank you so much for attending last night! We ended up having a pretty big line of people waiting at the end. If I was unable to meet last night due to the tight schedule, I am available to meet with you next week regarding your student. You can call the Main Office at 323-224-4700 to schedule a conference at your convenience. 
 
Again, thank you for your time and your continued support of your student's academic progress!
 
Best,
Mrs. Austin
