What an amazing couple of nights of celebrating our students’ success on the AASA state test! 🎉 Between 4th and 5th grade, we had 48 students score proficient and 16 score highly proficient in ELA, along with 57 students proficient and 19 highly proficient in math! The energy and pride were felt all around as we honored the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of our families. These results are something truly worth celebrating—way to go, Coyotes! 🐾👏

What a great time we had during our Bring Your Parent to School event for 4th and 5th graders! Parents and students went head-to-head in some friendly (and funny) competition—5th grade battled it out in “Beat the Parents,” while 4th grade showed off their smarts in a lively game of Jeopardy with questions like, “How do you write 345,892 in standard form?” Let’s just say, a few parents were reminded that elementary math isn’t as easy as they remembered! It was a day full of laughter, learning, and a little friendly bragging rights.

We had a wonderful evening with dads, uncles, grandpas, and other father figures at our Watch D.O.G.S. event! Everyone enjoyed time together while hearing from past Watch D.O.G.S. about the positive impact the program has on both students and the male role models who participate. These volunteers play an important role in supporting students, assisting teachers, and helping with campus security. We’re excited and grateful to have so many signed up to make a difference this year! If you missed this event and would like to be a WatchDOG, call the front office.

Our amazing front office staff sets the tone for the entire school by being friendly, kind, and welcoming to everyone who walks through the doors. Their “What can we do to help you?” attitude creates a positive first impression and ensures that students, families, and staff feel supported. This level of care and professionalism builds trust and makes the school a place where people know they are valued. Together they bring a total of 30 years of experience in schools helping students and families.
