Four More Mondays!
When Ms. Vasquez sent a note in our staff Remind this week announcing that we only have four more Mondays, I was shocked. I wondered if she had counted wrong-- how can it be that the number of weeks left in the 2023- 2024 school year can be counted on one hand?
This last month has been filled with academics! Everyone in our community-- teachers, students, support staff, admin-- have taken each day at school as an opportunity for us to learn and grow. Your kids are doing and have done a lot of great work! We have focused so much on our academic growth that this spring has just flown by. We look up, and we're now approaching the end of the year!
There are only four more Mondays of this school year. So two things I want to ask of you, now that we are four weeks until the end of this wonderful year:
1. Remember to enjoy these final days and reflect on all the growth since the first days.
2. Will you help us celebrate this great year with end of year activities?
- We could use your help volunteering at field day (Sing Up Genius coming in next Wednesday's newsletter-- be sure to complete Voly this year and all the way through in order to participate!)
- We would love to see you come out for bridging ceremonies, end of year picnic and our last PTO meeting/ mental health night as well!
Stay tuned for more information on how you can participate coming in next week's newsletter! It's an exciting time, and it's made even more meaningful when we all participate. Join in!

Happy Administrative Appreciation Day!
We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful team here in the office at MAOH! Ms. Cantu is our Data Controller, Ms. Ortiz is our Registrar, and Ms. Arredondo is our Office Manager. Each goes above and beyond for our children and families. Next time you drop off an excuse note, or work with them to complete registration, please be sure to say thank you for all they do!!
Thank you to Ms. Vasquez and Ms. Espinoza who took lead in planning their surprise. Can't forget Ms. Conley for making breakfast and Nurse Garcia for bringing the fruit!
Bond Work Is Beginning!
Our school is one of the campuses that is getting updated with the 2020 Bond. We'll have an updated front entrance and many pieces of updated furniture. We've spent a lot of time planning exactly what and how we'll implement our remodel, and we're really looking forward to the process beginning!! Here are two things you should know:
1. Construction and maintenance work for the bond is began last weekend but will only be after hours and weekends. Expect construction teams to arrive to school around 4:00 in the coming weeks. Which means you will only notice their presence if your family picks up after 4:00.
2. The front of our building will be under heavy construction beginning Tuesday, June 28. There will not be any summer programming at our school because of the remodel.
