Student and Family Handbook

Welcome to Zarrow

Dear Zarrow Families,

Welcome to a new year of learning, growth, and community at Zarrow International School! We are proud to offer your child a rich and rigorous academic experience through our Spanish language immersion model, grounded in global awareness and cultural appreciation. This unique educational approach supports brain development and prepares students to thrive as compassionate, knowledgeable citizens of an interconnected world.

This handbook is designed to provide essential information about our school’s policies, procedures, and expectations. It is reviewed and updated annually to ensure you have the most accurate guidance at your fingertips.

At Zarrow, we believe that student success is a shared responsibility. Research—and our own experience—clearly shows that when families are actively involved in the school community, students perform better academically, build stronger relationships, and grow more confident and connected. That’s why your participation is not only welcomed but expected. Whether you’re volunteering in a classroom, attending school events, or helping your child stay on top of their learning, your engagement truly makes a difference.

To support strong communication, we’ll continue using a mix of paper and digital platforms. Most school-wide updates will be sent through School Messenger, Talking Points, and Zarrow PTA’s communication platform, Membership Toolkit. If you haven’t already, please register at http://zarrowpta.org and download the Membership Toolkit app to stay informed about school events, volunteer opportunities, and key updates.

Our staff is deeply committed to providing a high-quality, joyful educational experience for every student. Thank you for being an active partner in your child’s learning journey. We look forward to another inspiring year together.

Warmly,

Principal Denise Marquez
