Rees Star News

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! We are thrilled to welcome our students and families back to Rees Elementary Performing and Visual Arts Academy for another exciting year of learning, growth, and success.

This year, our theme is "We Sail Together." As we embark on a new journey, we are committed to building a school culture where we put each other first, communicate openly and honestly, embrace challenge and growth, and celebrate successes as a team. Just as every crew member plays an important role on a ship, every student, staff member, and family is a valued part of our Rees Elementary PVAA community.

Together, we will navigate opportunities, overcome challenges, and support one another as we work toward our goals. We believe that when we lead with respect, positivity, accountability, and teamwork, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education. We look forward to a year filled with meaningful experiences, memorable moments, and academic excellence.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead as we sail toward success together!

Your Principal,

Mireya Lara
