We are sending out a Week at a Glance (WAAG) as a means to inform students and parents of the upcoming important events and announcements for the week. For general information, please visit our website by clicking the button below.

Hey Aztecs! There are so many things to be thankful for even on our hardest days. So, take a minute to tell us what YOU are thankful for! We will be announcing some thankful messages each day in November, so listen out for yours! Please keep these messages appropriate! :)

Aztec Students and Families,

As we officially wrap up our fall sports season, I want to take a moment to congratulate all of our fall athletes and coaches on their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the season! Our Girls Flag Football team earned their first ever League Championship which is so exciting and something to be proud of! Girls Golf also brought home their 5th consecutive League Championship which is pretty much unheard of!! Such an amazing honor! While some seasons may have ended a little earlier than we had hoped, I couldn't be prouder of the effort and determination our student-athletes demonstrated. At the end of the day, success isn't always measured by wins and losses. If you grew as an individual, improved your skills, strengthened your teamwork, and became better together, that's a WIN in my book! Congratulations on a great Fall season, Aztecs... I'm so proud of you!

And just as one season comes to an end, another exciting opportunity begins! Winter sports are officially kicking off, with most teams holding tryouts starting this week! I encourage our students to step outside their comfort zones, try something new, and get involved. Whether you're an experienced athlete or just interested in giving a sport a shot, you never know what you're capable of until you try! Being part of a team is about so much more than competition. It's about building friendships, developing discipline, and creating memories that will last long after high school. Be sure to check out the Athletics section below for more information about winter sports and tryouts. We hope to see many of you out there representing the Aztecs!

Lastly, a quick reminder to our families that Wednesday, November 11th, is Veterans Day, and there will be NO SCHOOL in observance of the holiday. Our campus will be closed, so please plan accordingly. We also extend our gratitude to all veterans for their service and sacrifice!

Let's begin this week with positive energy and a strong work ethic! Have a great week, Aztecs! 💙❤️

Take care,

Ms. Scott

Proud Principal

All programs funded with Title I dollars must be used to enhance the school programs of the school. In order for schools to qualify for Title I, 35% or more of the students must be considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. The goals of a Title I Program include the following: increase student academic achievement, provide direct instructional support to students, develop professional development for teachers and to promote parent engagement and education.
