Message from the Principal

Dear Maxson Families,

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Maxson Elementary! As your principal, I feel deeply honored to serve such a dedicated and resilient school community. I am continually inspired by the way our families, staff, and students work together to create a school environment built on trust, growth, and shared success.

This past year, our students made remarkable gains in both Math and Language Arts based on our schoolwide assessments. We also celebrated one of our strongest attendance months—evidence that our Falcons are showing up, ready to learn, and eager to thrive. What I appreciate most about our Maxson community is our collective commitment to student growth, both academically and socially.

At Maxson, we focus on educating the whole child. Students are supported through PBIS, Capturing Kids’ Hearts, and our growing AVID program, which promotes college and career readiness starting in the upper grades. 

We’ve celebrated students through academic and attendance awards, joyful holiday events, engaging academic field trips, and enrichment opportunities that make learning come alive. Our after-school enrichment classes and the Think Together program continue to provide safe, engaging spaces where students explore interests, receive academic support, and develop confidence. 
Our counselors and teachers are committed to helping students grow as thinkers, team players, and leaders, with empathy, integrity, and responsibility at the heart of everything we do.

As always, the safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority. We follow clear district guidelines and site-based procedures to ensure a secure and supportive environment for all students and families. Our campus remains a welcoming place where every child is valued, protected, and encouraged to thrive.

Looking ahead, families can expect another exciting year filled with learning, leadership opportunities, and student-centered celebrations. 

I look forward to partnering with you in creating a joyful, respectful, and high-achieving environment where every Maxson Falcon can soar.

With gratitude and Falcon Pride,
David S. Herrera
