Parents, it’s time to get creative! Students can become race cars by designing their own from cardboard boxes, dress up as a race car driver, or simply show school pride by wearing their Maxson T-shirt. Families are invited to come cheer on our student “drivers” as we celebrate movement, creativity, and school spirit together.

‼️ Please pick up an application in the Maxson office today‼️

This month, we are focusing on the Leaderworthy Trait: Think, Choose, Act. Students are learning that every decision begins with a pause to think about their options, to choose the best response, and then to act in a way that shows responsibility, respect, and kindness. Whether it’s solving a problem with a friend, deciding how to use their time in class, or handling challenges at home, “Think, Choose, Act” helps students practice self-control and good judgment. Together, we are building leaders who make positive choices every day!

Parent conferences will be held on Monday, October 6, and Tuesday, October 7. Students will be released early at 1:50 p.m. on both days. Please note there will be NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, October 8.

To prepare for your conference, consider:

Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success!

On this day, our school (along with millions across California) will participate in a statewide earthquake drill. Everyone will practice what to do during an earthquake—Drop, Cover, and Hold On—so we’re prepared, calm, and safe.

Please talk with your child about the drill beforehand and remind them it’s just a practice to keep everyone ready.

Grab your walking shoes and join us for Walk to School Day! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

This is a wonderful opportunity for families to walk together, enjoy some fresh air, and start the school day in a healthy, active way. Walking to school not only builds great habits but also helps create a safer, more connected community.

Let’s fill the sidewalks with smiles and school spirit—see you on the walk!

Join us in standing together for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion! On Unity Day, we encourage all students and staff to wear orange to show that we are united against bullying. Together, we can create a safe and supportive school where everyone belongs.

Join us in celebrating Red Ribbon Week, October 20–24! This week is all about making healthy choices and showing our commitment to being drug-free. Each day will have fun activities and themes to help spread the message. Let’s work together to support our students in making positive choices for their future!

📵 Why No Cell Phones at School? 📵

At Maxson, we want our students focused on learning, friendships, and fun—not screens. Cell phones can cause distractions in class, take away from valuable learning time, and sometimes lead to problems like lost or damaged devices.

By keeping school a cell phone–free zone, we help create a safe, focused, and supportive environment for every child. Thank you for partnering with us to put learning first! 💙✨
