We’re so excited to celebrate Cheyanne Vaka, a 5th grade student at Capistrano Elementary, as this year’s Student Spotlight!

Cheyanne shows up each day with a strong sense of responsibility and care for those around her. She puts in the effort, stays focused, and is someone her classmates can count on. Her kindness and willingness to support others help create a welcoming, positive environment in her classroom and across campus.

Cheyanne’s growth is supported by the encouragement and care she receives both at school and at home. When students feel supported in multiple spaces, it can make a meaningful difference, and Cheyanne is a great example of that.

Congratulations to Cheyanne and the Vaka family, we’re proud to celebrate you.

Welcome to Thriving Together, a space where our dedicated school professionals share practical tips and tools to help families support student success at home. This month, Mrs. Garcia, our Glick Middle School Learning Director, is sharing a few simple tips to help students stay focused during this time of year. As the days get longer and routines start to shift, it’s easy for energy and attention to dip a bit. Her suggestions are easy to try at home and can help students stay engaged, keep a steady rhythm, and finish out the school year feeling confident.
