As we approach the end of the school year, let’s remember to finish strong—both academically and behaviorally. You've worked hard all year, and now is the time to show your growth, focus, and commitment through the final stretch.

We’re all excited for a well-deserved summer break, but let’s make sure we cross the finish line with pride and purpose. Keep showing up, stay respectful, and continue putting in your best effort in every class.

And when summer arrives—stay active! Whether it’s reading, exploring new hobbies, helping out at home, or just getting outside and moving, find ways to stay engaged and keep growing.

We believe in you—let’s make these last few weeks count! 💪🌟

With heartfelt appreciation and Monsoon pride,

Mayfair Middle/High School students will utilize the app called Minga as a digital ID card. The app enables staff to create hall passes, reward students for doing well and helping others, and the digital ID card will help students have an easier time entering or leaving campus. The digital ID has a "live" interface, with a running digital clock and a moving background, thus preventing students from using a screenshot [Screenshots of ID are not permitted]. Students will utilize their school email (via Google) to log in. The app is safe to use, uses very little data, and doesn't require access to any of the information stored on your phone. If your child does not have a smartphone, don't worry - they will receive a printed ID card as well. Click here to access a quick document that shows you how to log into your school's Minga account.
