We can’t wait to see you!

It's that time again! The Winter Star Window is opening soon!

The Winter Window opens next week! You will receive login information in your inbox between 10 - 2pm on January 21st. You may also refer to the Fall login information since it will be the same username and password. The test is taken online at home between January 21st and January 31st.

Digital ID cards were emailed on Wednesday, January 8th that can be saved and used for all park event check-ins. These digital IDs do not include a photo, just the student's name and ID number. It is useful for park events and other school activities at check-in. They are not required, but certainly make the check-in process go quicker. We love to have you at events and hope to see you soon!

Welcome to 2025! Return any educational materials you are finished with, and get fresh learning resources for the new semester. Both library and OS (purchased) items need to be returned inside the library. Library items can be returned in the "book drop", just like the public library.

Steps for returning items ordered with funds:

1. Print the inventory list (from OS) or a Return Form for each student.

2. Mark, or list, each item being returned.

3. Pack up items in boxes or bags. You will leave these boxes with us. Items must be separated by student, if applicable.

4. Return your items, packed securely with completed return forms, to the lending library or the library van.

5. Return items directly to library staff (don’t leave anything outside, please).

Families and staff can preview examples of all the school’s recommended curricula in the Resource Room, which is adjacent to the library. It’s a wonderful resource when considering making curriculum choices.

Lending Library:

Browse our shelves: Tues, Wed, Thurs 9-11 & 1-3:30.

Or place an order on the website, and pick up in the Fresno LL or at Library Van delivery day.

Any questions? Find more information on the library newsletter or contact us at library@theaxiagroup.com.

In this engaging and creative session, students will explore the deep connection between music and visual art. Through listening to a variety of musical styles, students will learn to interpret the emotions, energy, and atmosphere conveyed by the music. They will translate these auditory experiences into abstract visual representations, using a mix of artistic techniques and materials.

Friday, January 24th from 9:30-11:30 in South Fresno.

Location will be emailed to those registered on January 21st.

The schools are enhancing their academic trips this year to make them more enriching and engaging! With a focus on quality over quantity, there will be fewer school-sponsored trips, but parents can still take advantage of OS funds to explore educational destinations with their students. And with a Big List of ideas available, there are plenty of opportunities for learning and making new friends. Sounds like a fantastic way to make the most of the school year!

🧠The BIG List of IDEAS! 🧭

Our school urges students to conduct themselves ethically and honorably. It is expected that the grade a student earns is based on work the student has completed. Teachers can use Grammarly or other plagiarism checker websites. Please review the definition of plagiarism as outlined in the 24-25 School Handbook located on our website under Resources.
