Boletín de Noviembre de la Director de la Escuela

Querida comunidad Mesa Arts Academy,

Me gustaria expresarles mis mas calidos deseos a ustedes y a sus familias de que pasen un feliz Dia de Accion de Gracias y unas maravillosas fiestas. En las proximas semanas, muchoes de ustedes probablemente estaran ocupados preparandose para recibir vistas de familiares y amigos. A medida que avanzamos en esta temporada festive, es esencial considerar como estas interrupciones de las fiesta pueden afectar a nuestros estudiantes. Los aliento a que se tomen un momento adicional para ayudar a sus hijos a mantener la concentracion y concentrarse en sus tareas escolares mientras disfrutan de esta epoca del ano.

Demos la bienvenida a los lideres del equipo de liderazgo de MAAPO. Tenemos la suerte de contar con padres que nos apoyan y una comunidad comprometida, con MAAPO a la cabeza. Expressamos nuestro mas sincero agradecimiento por todo lo que hacen para contrbuir al exito de MAA. Ademas, tenemos el privilegio de contar con estudiantes excepcionales que se desafian a si mismos a diario para aprender y participar, lo que nos motiva a ser mejore educadores y personas. Ellos son la razon por la que venimos a trabajar todos los dias.

Nuestra prioridad sigue siendo la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes. Recuerde que los ninos deben quedarse en casa hasta que no tengan fiebre durante 24 horas completas sin usar medicamentos para ninguna enfermedad. Le pido amablemente que evalue a sus hijos todas las mananas antes de que se vayan a la escuela y los dejo en casa si no se encuentran bien, en particular si tienen fiebre. Es fundamental no administrar medicamentos para reducir la fiebre y luego enviarlos a la escuela, ya que la fibre puede indicar una afeccion contagiosa que pueded representar un riesgo para los demas.

Mientras miramos hacia el futuro, tnega en cuenta que se acercan nuestras exhibiciones de invierno; consulte el calendario incluido en esta boletin para conocer las fechas y los horarios especificos. Espero con ansia presenciar el talento de nuestros extrordinarios estudiantes.

Gracias por ser una parte integral de la familia de Mesa Arts Academy.

Con profundo agradecimiento,

Joyce Oyer

November 2024 Newsletter

Dear Mesa Arts Academy Community,

I would like to extend my warmest wishes to you and your families for a joyous Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season. In the upcoming weeks, many of you will likely be busy preparing for visits from family and friends. As we navigate this festive season, it is essential to consider how these holiday interruptions may affect our students. I encourage you to take an extra moment to help your child maintain focus and stay on task with their schoolwork, while also enjoying this time of year.

Please welcome our MAAPO leadership team leaders. We are fortunate to have supportive parents and a committed community, with MAAPO leading the way. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for all that you do to contribute to the success of MAA. Furthermore, we are privileged to have exceptional students who challenge themselves daily to learn and engage, motivating us to become better educators and individuals. They are the reason we come to work each day.

Our priority remains the safety and well-being of our students. Please remember that children must stay home until they are fever-free for a full 24 hours without the use of medication for any illness. I kindly ask that you assess your children each morning before they leave for school and keep them at home if they are unwell, particularly if they have a fever. It is crucial not to administer fever-reducing medications and then send them to school, as a fever can indicate a contagious condition that may pose a risk to others.

As we look ahead, please note that out winter showcases are approaching; refer to the calendar I included in this newsletter for specific dates and times. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the talents of our remarkable students.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Mesa Arts Academy family.

With deepest appreciation,

Joyce Oyer

October 2024 Newsletter

Dear Mesa Arts Academy Community,

The 2024/2025 school year is progressing smoothly, with auditions for the after-school musical now complete. We have arranged for students requiring additional academic support to receive the necessary assistance, and teachers are convening monthly to assess each student’s progress. October is consistently an enjoyable month within our school community as we immerse ourselves in the spirit of Fall and prepare for the upcoming holiday season.

Additionally, October marks Red Ribbon Month. The last week of October (October 23-31) was officially designated as Red Ribbon Week in 1988 through proclamation by the United States Congress. During this time, numerous schools, government agencies, and social service organizations organize activities to celebrate and promote positive choices and healthy, drug-free lifestyles for both young people and adults across the nation. MAA is proud to participate in Red Ribbon Week with engaging activies, and further details will be provided soon.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Mesa Arts Academy family.

With deepest appreciation,

April 2024 Newsletter

We have reached the countdown to our high stakes testing! All 3rd-8th grade students will participate in the computerized version of the AASA state assessment. Our 5th and 8th grade students will also take the computer version of the AZSCI Science assessment. We will start this process the first school day in April (Monday, April 1st) with a fabulously fun testing Pep Rally. The teachers will be performing. Teachers will need your support so that your children do as well as they possibly can on the tests. Please check the calendar and ensure that your children are in attendance and on time on the days they will be testing. Students who must do make-up testing do not do as well as those who test with their class. We will do our best to maintain a positive environment on campus during testing. You can help by getting them to school every day on time. Be sure they are well rested and have a positive attitude. They will have many additional breaks throughout the day and will have no homework during testing time. We will provide every student who is testing with a good breakfast and snacks. Teachers may ask you to help with this by providing donations of breakfast foods and snacks. Together we can turn this testing into a positive experience.

Remind your children that they are ready for these tests and that you have confidence in their abilities to do well. That is, perhaps, the best thing you can do for your children during this critical assessment time. We believe in them and so should you. Thank you so much for your support.
