The Mustang Messenger

I hope this message finds you doing well. Thank you to all of the parents who donated food and time to make staff appreciation week extra special for our amazing Rancho Pico staff. Each day was incredible!

We finally finished state testing and we are down to final few weeks of the school year. It is important that students finish strong academically and behaviorally and that they attend school, on time, each day.

Kindest regards,

Catherine Nicholas, Ed.D.
