Message From The Principal
Fall Break is finally here! We hope this finds you taking time with your students and family to enjoy the break. It's the perfect time for our students to relax, recharge, and spend quality time with family and friends. Whether you have planned a getaway or are staying close to home, we encourage you to make the most of this break.
As we come to the end of our first quarter, I want to express gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can make this a successful and enriching experience for every student.
When we return from Fall Break, we will be embarking on a new academic quarter. This is a fresh start for our students to set new goals, work on improving their skills, and continue their educational journey with enthusiasm. Our dedicated teachers have been preparing exciting lessons and activities to engage and challenge your children. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about their goals and expectations for the upcoming quarter to help them stay motivated and focused.
To stay updated on all school events and important announcements, please ensure you are regularly checking our school website, your email inbox and follow us on Facebook for the latest news and updates.
As we enjoy this Fall Break, let's cherish the moments with our loved ones and look forward to the opportunities and challenges that the new quarter will bring. If you have any questions or concerns during the break, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Wishing you a joyful and restful Fall Break!

Tucson Unified is rolling out a new program to help any of our district families who may be dealing with housing insecurity. If any TUSD family finds themselves in a position where their house is unavailable, they can now apply for Emergency Housing Support (EHS).
The EHS program can be used by TUSD families once per school year and it will provide a four-day/three-night stay at one of the five EHS hotel partners. Families may also receive gas cards and internet connection. Incidentals and/or additional stay will be the responsibility of the TUSD family.
