first day of school
Today, our district came together in full spirit to kick off the 2025–2026 school year at our annual Back to School Rally! 💙✨ Each school brought energy, joy, and pride — and we were reminded of the lasting impact we make as educators.

One of the most powerful moments came when Amber Yu, a proud alumna of Mitchell Elementary and Isaac Middle School, spoke to our district. Her kindergarten teacher, Ms. Moore, is still serving in our district — and her former 3rd grade teacher, now Principal Mr. Jimenez, stood right beside her. A true full-circle moment! 🌟

We were also inspired by our current student, Gael Rodriguez, who shared a simple but powerful reminder with our staff: “Never give up on your students, no matter how hard it is.” 💬❤️

What a beautiful way to begin the school year — rooted in purpose, passion, and connection. Here's to an amazing 2025-2026 school year!

We had an incredible time at the Back-to-School Health Fair at Isaac Middle School! Over 1,000 children received free backpacks with school supplies, and families benefited from free services like immunizations, dental screenings, haircuts, and more. With music, raffles, and fun activities, it was a joyful day of support and celebration for our community. A huge thank you to Healthcare Molina for partnering with us and providing such vital support—this event truly wouldn’t have been possible without them. We’re also deeply grateful to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy, and to the amazing vendors and service providers who came out to offer free resources to our families. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success! 🙌 #BackToSchool #IsaacPride #CommunityHealth #FreeBackpacks #MolinaHealthcare

At Isaac, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. This month, our Isaac students participated in bus evacuation drills and learned about the importance of bus safety. 🚌 These safety drills allowed both students and staff to practice vital bus safety procedures. Thank you to our bus drivers, support staff, and teachers for taking part and supporting the safety and well-being of our students.
