We hope the new year has begun positively for each of you. Here at Mesa Arts Academy, we are engaged in daily learning and activities.

Our commitment is to foster a positive environment and to create the best possible learning atmosphere. High-quality instruction and student learning remain our top priorities. Every initiative at Mesa Arts Academy is designed to facilitate student success in various areas, extending well beyond their time with us. The partnership between school and home is essential for student achievement, and we hope your children feel safe and supported during this pivotal and occasionally challenging period in their development. Should you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out to us.

It is difficult to believe that we have already surpassed the halfway mark of the academic year. Students have acclimated to their routines and are familiar with our school-wide expectations. Our teachers have diligently worked to create meaningful learning experiences while emphasizing our behavioral standards. Consistency and predictability are critical factors in fostering student success, as in maintaining a calm learning environment to enhance focus.

A reminder regarding attendance: the bell rings at 8:25 am, and school begins promptly at 7:30 am. Students must be in their classrooms by 7:30 am to avoid being marked absent / tardy. When a student arrives late, they miss valuable time with both their classmates and teachers, as many educators utilize this period for team-building and community engagement. After 7:30 am, parents must sign their child in at the front office.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work with your students each day. Thank you for allowing us to contribute to their development.

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

With deepest appreciation,

Joyce Oyer

Dear Mesa Arts Academy Community,

As we approach the conclusion of 2024, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering commitment to Mesa Arts Academy. The success we have achieved since the beginning of the school year is largely attributed to the involvement of parents, caregivers, and families like yours. A special thank you to everyone who participated in Reading Under the Stars; it was truly thrilling to witness the students enjoying the evening with their families. I also wish to extend my appreciation to our teachers for their steadfast support. MAAPO, Maricela, Lindsay, Vanessa, and a particular thanks to Mrs. Buenrostro for enhancing the experience by offering students the chance to observe the moon through her telescope.

I wish you a restful winter break and hope you cherish this time with you family. As we enter the New Year, I wish you health and happiness.

Please note that school will be closed starting December 20th. During this winter break, consider ways to strengthen your bond with your children and continue to support their academic growth and success. The holiday season offers a perfect opportunity for storytelling around the dinner table, or maintaining bedtime reading routines, which help bridge home and school expectations. young learners thrive on regular schedules, and I encourage you to prepare them for their return to school on Tuesday, January 7th, by emphasizing the importance of being well-rested and ready to learn.

Have a great winter break!

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

With deepest appreciation,

Joyce Oyer

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.

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

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,

Joyce Oyer
