At Maxson, our Maxson VEX Robotics program is in its early stages, but it has already generated incredible interest and excitement among our students. We are proud to provide engaging, hands-on learning experiences that build essential skills such as critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. Even in its infancy, our VEX Robotics program is giving students opportunities to think creatively, work collaboratively, and apply their learning in meaningful ways.

One of the most exciting aspects of the program is seeing students teaching and learning from one another, building confidence while growing their interest in technology. Most importantly, our focus goes beyond robotics—we are helping students develop strong problem-solving skills that will support their success both in school and in the future.

Community Schools bring together educators, families, and community partners to support the whole child. By integrating academics with health, social-emotional support, and enrichment opportunities, Community Schools create a safe and inclusive environment where students can thrive.

Through strong partnerships and family engagement, Community Schools at Maxson Elementary and the Mountain View School District, provide resources and services that address student needs, remove barriers to learning, and promote academic success and well-being.

A few examples of this have been our on-campus dental and vision check-ups through our partnership with Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, our extended learning opportunity programs afterschool through Max Learning, adult and family educational courses through our partnership with Río Hondo College, and food pantry programs at Maxson and our MVSD Family Center.

If any of our students or Falcon families need support, please contact the Community Schools Site Lead, Vicky Reyes at vreyes@mtviewschools.net.

Max Learning provides free, high-quality afterschool classes through Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP). These programs offer enriching experiences that support student growth beyond the school day in a safe and engaging environment.

Students can participate in HFA Sports (soccer, tennis, and basketball), building teamwork and physical fitness. Windtree’s STEAM classes promote creativity and problem-solving, while LIFT Healthy Cooking teaches nutrition and life skills. Cultural Bytes offers Spanish and Mandarin, helping students build language skills and cultural awareness. Additionally, the YMCA Model United Nations (MUN) program develops leadership, public speaking, and critical thinking.

Max Learning is committed to enriching the whole child through meaningful opportunities for learning, exploration, and personal growth.

On a beautiful spring day in early March, the Maxson community—students, staff, and families—came together to celebrate our “Race into Reading” event.

Families joined us on campus and shared a joyful time reading with our students. Smiles, laughter, and the power of words filled the campus as students were highly engaged and excited to listen. We are grateful to our parents and staff for their time, support, and hard work in making this event so special.
