Beginning December 22nd and joyfully extending through January 4th, we will be away from school appreciating family, friends and traditions. Time for splendid holiday fun and ringing in the New Year!
Happily, the holiday break is a chance for our school-based learning to be applied to real life situations. Students can do this without realizing that they are using the talents developed at school and keep their math, writing, reading, etc. talents sharp with these creative ideas.

No one likes to contemplate drug use in schools, particularly in elementary and middle grades. So no one really likes to be reminded about it. That’s a natural reaction for most parents and many students. But recent statistics indicate that drug use among middle school students is on the rise and that more are actually using drugs or alcohol in school.
Join us for a special Mother/Daughter Event on Friday, November 7, 2014 to be held at La Paloma Academy’s cafeteria from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
“Homework” might not be one of the most welcomed words in a student’s vocabulary, but it’s a necessity of their learning process. Homework helps reinforce material and skills that are taught in class, introduce material for future lessons and teach students how to apply learned skills to new or multiple subjects.
On November 6th & 7th, volunteers will create a 10 ft. x 10 ft. mosaic tile mural on campus.
The Kindness Corridor is a network of tile and mirror public art projects that symbolize community connection and the commitment to practicing kindness. Throughout Tucson, artists, students and community members have collaborated to create beautiful kindness themed murals that celebrate the philosophy of Ben’s Bells. Ben’s Bells was born out of a tragedy in Tucson but now inspires kindness and kindness education nationwide.
Dear Parents,
We know you have options when it comes to your child’s education, and I want to thank you for partnering with us. We truly value our students and parents and believe that all children have the ability to be successful both in and outside our school.
If you ask your child what makes him or her successful at our school, he or she will probably tell you about our excellent teachers. What students take away from a successful education usually centers around a strong connection with teachers who inspire them to achieve their dreams.
This year, La Paloma is proud to begin using Beyond Textbooks. As Common Core standards are further implemented across the state, we are rising to meet the challenge. We want to help our students succeed by introducing this innovative program.
