Our Homework Centers are off to an incredible start, and we want to celebrate the amazing effort our Hawks are putting into their academics!
Last week alone, 45 students on a Homework Contract attended to get back on track. Even more amazingly, 40 students who are NOT on a contract attended just to get ahead, receive tutoring, and work in a focused environment!
- 📌 Requirement for Contracted Students: If your student was issued a Homework Contract, please remember that they are required to attend at least once a week until their contract goals are met.
- 🌟 Open to ALL Hawks: Whether your student needs extra help or just a quiet space with Wi-Fi to finish assignments, our doors are open to everyone!
Check out the attached flyer for locations and times. Let's keep this fantastic momentum going!

We are delighted to celebrate Robert Rodriguez as our Hawk of the Week! Even though his role has transitioned to a district-wide IT technician, Robert remains a vital lifeline for our campus. Nominated by his appreciative colleagues, he serves as the backbone of our day-to-day tech operations. His constant readiness to step in and keep our classrooms connected ensures that our school community never misses a beat.
Robert’s impact is felt across every corner of our school. He was incredible support to Ms. Cuevas during this year's Chromebook distribution, ensuring our students received their devices without a hitch. Whenever tech tickets pop up or staff need urgent assistance, Robert addresses them with incredible speed and care. On top of that, he is always behind the scenes at our major school assemblies and family events, expertly managing our sound systems and media setups so everything runs flawlessly.
What makes Robert so special is his genuine passion for helping others. He doesn't just fix a glitch and walk away; he takes the time to walk staff through the process, empowering us to handle small tech hiccups on our own. His upbeat personality, infectious good humor, and willingness to go the extra mile make every interaction a pleasure. Thank you, Robert, for your incredible work ethic and for always keeping our campus running smoothly!
