    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

    Dear Atkinson Parents,

    We are down to the last week of school. It has been a fantastic year of learning. I’m already missing your children and wishing for the start of next school year. Crazy! Anticipating the transition to summer vacation can produce mixed emotions for students. Mixed emotions sometimes drive unexpected behaviors. Please know that we are doing everything we can to maintain a predictable school schedule while at the same time providing closure and celebration for students. I am grateful for your continued support and collaboration. If you should have any questions or concerns, please know that I work most of the summer and will be available at school or via email. Don’t hesitate to reach out.

    Thank you for a wonderful school year,

    Debbie Armendáriz

    MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA

    Queridas familias,

    Estamos en la última semana de clases. Ha sido un año fantástico de aprendizaje. Ya extraño a sus hijos y deseo el inicio del próximo año escolar. ¡Loco! Anticipar la transición a las vacaciones de verano puede producir emociones encontradas en los estudiantes. Las emociones encontradas a veces impulsan comportamientos inesperados. Tenga en cuenta que estamos haciendo todo lo posible para mantener un horario escolar predecible y al mismo tiempo brindar cierre y celebración a los estudiantes. Agradezco su continuo apoyo y colaboración. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, sepa que trabajo la mayor parte del verano y estaré disponible en la escuela o por correo electrónico. No dudes en comunicarte.

    Gracias por un maravilloso año escolar,

    Debbie Armendáriz
    Directora

  • Earthstock Brings the Joy to the Crystal Ballroom

    6/7/2024
    Two students dance at Earthstock 2024.

    A little over 30 years ago, a Madison High School student named Joseph Janson had a simple wish. He wanted to go to a dance. But nothing was simple for Joseph, who was born with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair. 

    He confided his wish to Tony Nitz, who at that time was an educational assistant at Madison (now Leodis V. McDaniel High School). Tony had been working one-on-one with Joseph for months and he immediately went about making the young man’s dream come true.

    “The truth is, I would have done anything for Joseph,” Nitz said. “He was a unique person, and we had a very special bond.”

    Alondra in the Classroom

    For the past three years, Alondra Nieves Barajas has been both student and teacher.

    Most days, the senior from Roosevelt High School attends class, does her homework, and spends time with her friends just like any other 18-year-old. But on Wednesday nights, you can find her at the front desk, teaching adults – often much older than herself – the ins and outs of the United States naturalization test.

  • PPS Senior Program Manager of Energy & Sustainability Invited to White House Summit

    5/17/2024

    When Aaron Presberg first got the email from the White House, he thought it was some sort of prank. 

    Then he shared the message with a few colleagues who assured him that it was no joke, and the exciting reality that he had been invited to Washington, D.C. to present at the White House’s first-ever Summit for Sustainable and Healthy K–12 School Buildings and Grounds started to sink in.
