Dear Students and Parents,                                                                     

 

Welcome to room 505! I am Mr. De Vicente and it is my pleasure to help guide students through the California state standards grade level 8. This is my fifth year with PUHSD and my fourth year at Pinacate. Students will need to have basic tools for success as well as high academic expectations in order to be successful. Success in English Language Arts in middle school will provide the necessary foundation for English I, II, III, and IV at the high school level. Please contact me through email or at the number below if there are any questions or concerns.                                                                                               
 
Thank you,
