Congratulations to Margie Solorzano, Texas Site Coordinator of the Month for November! "Ms. Solorzano is a field coordinator at Communities in Schools of El Paso which means she steps in to cover an extended leave of absence of a Site Coordinator. Ms. Solorzano started at a campus on the first day of school and was there the first nine weeks. She made it a point to bring everyone's anxiety level down by providing a CIS Orientation to both the campus staff and students. Everyone understood that she was there to help.
The campus' goal is to improve attendance. There were students from last year who were already starting to struggle with attendance. She quickly sprang into action and met with them and their parents to ensure their daily attendance. She would meet the students every morning, call the parents if they were not present, and even make home visits when there was no answer. Both students and parents quickly realized that she was not going to give up on them.
Students would tell her, "Ms. S, you are everywhere”. They would see her before school, during lunch, throughout the day, in the CIS Office, in the front office, after school, in the community; she was everywhere!
She also offered homework assistance before school to any students that would need it and assisted the campus with their parent engagement efforts to sign up students and families for the holiday events in December. Students gravitated towards her because she would help them with anything from a simple school supply to wanting to talk about how things were going with school and friends.
Ms. Solorzano is so humble that she started to prepare everyone for her departure and told the students to show the new Site Coordinator all they had been working on and to continue excelling in her absence. She is a true team player with great passion for helping students. Great job, Margie! Whataburger
