Celebrating Leadership Celebrating Leadership

During Assistant Principals Week, our schools recognized and celebrated the hard work and dedication of assistant principals across our schools. These leaders play an essential role in creating a positive, supportive environment where both students and staff can thrive. Their commitment to guiding, mentoring and ensuring the success of each student is invaluable, and their impact on daily school operations is truly significant.


At Avondale, our assistant principals are crucial in supporting the vision of excellence within our schools. Whether it's implementing new programs, supporting teachers, or creating a safe and encouraging space for students to learn, their leadership shapes the foundation of our educational community. This week, we celebrate their tireless efforts and the lasting difference they make in the lives of those around them. It is a time to express gratitude for their dedication and acknowledge the vital role they play in shaping the future of our schools.

Engineering Minds Create Robotic Champions

Avondale Middle School robotics students are fully engaged in hands-on learning as they design and program their robots. Through a combination of engineering, coding and teamwork, they are gaining practical skills and knowledge that will serve them well in the future. The experience has not only enhanced their technical abilities but also strengthened their problem-solving and collaboration skills.


After weeks of hard work and preparation, the students' robot exceeded expectations by outpacing the competition. Their dedication paid off, and they proudly took home the top prize, showcasing the results of their commitment and teamwork.

Copper Trails Students Shine in Moana Jr. Performance

Our talented students at Copper Trails recently brought the enchanting story of Disney's Moana Jr. to life on stage. This presentation followed Moana's adventurous journey across the Pacific to save her village and uncover her heritage.


Our students' dedication and hard work were evident in every aspect of the performance, from their expressive acting to the vibrant costumes and impressive set design. We are incredibly proud of our students' achievements and the collaborative spirit that made this production a memorable experience for the CT community.

Leading and Making A Difference

Mrs. Knight’s second and third grade students at Desert Star have been exploring what it means to be leaders in their community, and they are already making a remarkable impact. Through various activities and lessons, the students have learned the importance of kindness, respect and responsibility—qualities that are essential for effective leadership.


We are especially proud to recognize Nathaly and Damian for earning awards as outstanding citizens. Their daily actions exemplify the values of leadership, and they continue to inspire their peers with their positive examples. We look forward to seeing how they continue to lead and make a difference in their school and beyond.

Inching Towards Success

Ms. Olivas's second grade class at Eliseo C. Felix recently put their math skills to the test as they learned about measurement. Students learned about different units of measurement and explored how measuring plays a crucial role in everyday life. The hands-on activities helped them understand the practical applications of math in real-world situations.


As they worked through various projects, it was clear that the class was gaining a deeper appreciation for math and its connection to other fields like architecture. With their enthusiasm and growing skills, these young learners may very well be the architects and engineers of tomorrow.

Students Take The Plunge

Exciting news from Lattie Coor! Students recently participated in their first water safety class at the YMCA, where they learned essential skills to stay safe and confident around water. The session focused on various safety techniques, teaching students how to protect themselves while enjoying aquatic activities.


We are incredibly proud of the students' enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the class. This engaging and educational experience has opened the door for many more opportunities to safely explore water activities in the future.

Conquering The Monster Test

Sixth graders at Michael Anderson embraced the challenge of their English Language Arts (ELA) reading test with the motto, "We scare because we care about passing this ELA reading test!" This fun and motivating slogan helped energize the students as they tackled the first part of the test. Their enthusiasm and determination were evident as they worked hard to showcase their skills.


We are incredibly proud of all of our students for their focus and effort throughout the test. Their dedication to doing their best is truly inspiring, and we are confident that their hard work will pay off. Keep up the great work!

The Path To Discovery

Wonderful things are happening at STAR Academy as the second and third graders dive into the world of research. With the guidance of their teachers, they learned how to gather information for their essays, exploring various sources and developing their note-taking skills. The students also engaged in discussions about how to organize their ideas, which is helping them build a solid foundation for their writing.


It was inspiring to witness their curiosity and excitement as they explored new topics and discovered interesting information. As they continue to refine their research and writing abilities, we look forward to seeing their creativity shine through in their essays.
