Parents, please take time to talk with your children about the dangers of vaping. We want to be proactive in keeping our campus safe and healthy for everyone.
Vaping is not only harmful to students’ health, but it is also against the law and school rules. Our goal is to keep students in school, learning and thriving.
We appreciate your partnership and support in reinforcing these important conversations at home. Together, we can continue to create a safe, positive environment for all of our students.

We are so proud of our students for their hard work and focus during state testing! Teachers were excited to recognize students who stayed on task and gave their best effort by handing out beeper tickets—great job!
Congratulations to Jasmine Knight, Faith Multine, Shawn Majors, and Michael Martinez, who are pictured here after having their names drawn! Jordan Ruggles was also selected for his hard work, but is not pictured—way to go!
We will continue celebrating student effort with more incentives during each upcoming test session. We’ll be drawing names after each test, and we even have something special planned if we see strong attendance across all three testing days!
Parents, please help us by making sure your student arrives to school on time, well-rested, and ready to do their best. Your support makes a big difference!
Thank you, students, for your dedication—we are cheering you on every step of the way!

Ms. Manning’s 8th grade science class had a blast getting hands-on with science while extracting DNA from strawberries!
This fun and engaging activity gave students the opportunity to see science in action and better understand the building blocks of life. Learning is even more powerful when it’s this memorable (and a little gooey too)!

Parents of our 8th graders,
We want to give you a heartfelt thank you for making sure your student was at school on time and present for both days of AZSCI testing. Your support truly makes a difference. Students perform much better when they are able to test with their own class, in a familiar environment, and with their teacher, rather than completing a makeup test in a different setting.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Community and Family Engagement Night. We had close to 300 people in attendance and about 20 informational booths, making it a great evening for our school and community.
A special thank you to the Cal Poly students, SOLV Energy, VESTAS, and Next Power for providing engaging breakout sessions on different forms of energy, including solar and wind, and for sharing valuable career opportunities with our families.
We also want to express our appreciation for our partnership with Heart of America. Through their support, solar panels are being installed on the homes of some of our students who currently lack electricity, making a meaningful difference in their lives.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make this event such a success.

Our 7th and 8th grade AVID students recently took an exciting trip to Phoenix filled with hands on learning and future focused experiences.
The day began at the Wildlife World Zoo, where students participated in a structured, standards based academic field experience. Working in teams, they completed a WICOR based scavenger challenge that pushed them to think critically, collaborate, and engage deeply with their surroundings. Students practiced levels of inquiry, collected structured notes, read informational texts, and wrapped up the experience by creating a one page project that demonstrated their depth of learning.
The second part of the day included a campus tour of Grand Canyon University. AVID students, who are already focused on college readiness, truly benefited from seeing what their future could look like and envisioning themselves on a college campus.
A big thank you to our parents for getting students to school so early so they could take part in this opportunity. Thank you Ms. Jimenez for making all the arrangements.

Mary Lara from Northern Arizona University brought an unforgettable day of discovery to Ms. Manning’s 8th grade science class. Students had the incredible opportunity to explore science up close with three high powered microscopes, diving into the ultraviolet spectrum and experiencing real time views of the sun through specialized telescopes. It was a hands on, awe inspiring experience that truly brought science to life.
Picture Day is coming!
Mark your calendars—March 31 is Picture Day! Spring pictures are a great chance for students to show off their personalities and capture a memory you’ll cherish for years to come.
More details will be shared as the date gets closer. Be sure to save the date!

Students will be on Spring Break March 9 - 13. We hope everyone enjoys a well deserved break filled with rest, fun, and time with family and friends.
As part of February being Kindness Month, our weekly Teens Make Health Happen group is showing what leadership and heart truly look like. These amazing young people have decorated large donation sacks and placed them around our campus to collect non-perishable food items for our community.
This is the last week of the Food Drive, and we could not be more proud of their initiative and generosity. The donations will be distributed to a selected organization right here in our community, directly helping families in need.
They are stepping up, giving back, and making a real difference where they live. Let’s help them finish strong by sending in a non-perishable item this week.
