Principal's Message
Mustang Families,
We hope everyone had a fantastic first week of school! It’s been wonderful to see our campus come alive with the energy of our students and staff, and we are excited for the year ahead.
This week, we will be on a Flex Schedule on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. During Flex time, students will remain in their 3rd period class to engage in important lessons centered on our schoolwide expectations and The Mustang Way—being Responsible, Respectful, and Connected. We’re looking forward to meaningful conversations and opportunities for students and teachers to connect and build a strong school community.
There are also many great ways for students to get involved and support one another this week. Come cheer on our student-athletes at a variety of events, including:
-
Girls Volleyball
-
Boys Water Polo
-
Girls Golf
-
Flag Football – our CIF runner-up team is back in action!
In addition, Boys Soccer and Girls Water Polo will be holding tryouts this week. We encourage all interested students to come out and be a part of Mustang athletics.
Don’t miss Trabuco Night Live presented by Off the Wall this Thursday at 7:00 PM—it’s sure to be an entertaining evening!
We’re off to a strong start, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things our students will accomplish this year. Let’s continue to support one another and stay connected—The Mustang Way!
Alicia Foulk
Principal
