Please join us in celebrating our amazing faculty and staff this upcoming week, May 6-10th. Please take the time to share some appreciation for the teachers and staff who have made a difference in your child's life here at Matanzas!

Parents, please make sure your child charges their laptop the night before testing so that they are ready! Students should check Schoology for their testing locations for each test.
