Letter from the Principal
Dear Maldonado Families,
We are excited that you will be joining us for a great year at Maldonado Elementary School. Maldonado is privileged to have amazing staff and families with strong community support. Together with an emphasis on academic growth and character development, our children will excel. This year we are expanding our teaching staff with the introduction of several highly qualified teachers new to Maldonado as well as amazing support staff.
To ensure your place in our Mountain Lion family, please complete your online registration through ParentVue. If you need assistance, our office is open from 8:00-1:00 daily during the summer and will open for the school year beginning on July 26th and hours will return to 7:30 -3:30.
A little about me, I have been an educator for over 25 years. After graduating from the Northern Arizona University, I began my career as a classroom teacher and even taught at the elementary school I attended as a child for over a decade. I am a life long learner with a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, post-baccalaureate teacher certification, and two masters degrees, one in Early Childhood Education and one in Educational Administration. I recognize the impact a teacher has on a child and have earned the distinction of being a National Board Certified Teacher and an Arizona Master Teacher. I also have experience as a New Teacher Mentor, Professional Development Academic Trainer, and School Administrator. I am honored to be entering my fourth year serving Maldonado as principal.
I am the proud mother of two daughters, who also share a love of learning, one whom recently earned dual masters from the University of Missouri and the other is a junior at the University of Arizona. We have one dog (who has been helping around campus this summer) and two cats who always keep things interesting. I can't wait to continue serving the Maldonado community this year and believe this will be the best year yet!
Happy School Year,
Mrs. Ramirez

Parental Involvement
We Want You!
We would love to have you as a partner. There are many ways in which you can support Maldonado Elementary. Our PTO and Site Council are looking for parents interested in supporting our children by planning events and advocating for the school. We are always in need of volunteers to assist in classrooms, read with students, and prepare for school events. If you are interested in volunteering please speak with our Community Liaison, Stephenie Carrasco.
Please refer to our school web page https://maldonadoes.tusd1.org/ and our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MaldonadoMountainLions/ for upcoming events.
