STRENGTHENING SCHOOL SAFETY: MUSD is expanding its School Safety Officer (SSO) program, thanks to a $2.4 million grant from the Arizona Dept. of Education. The program provides an off-duty police officer on 10 additional school campuses, and this year, the majority β 16 of 19 MUSD K-12 schools, will have a dedicated police presence on campus.
ADE considered the successful partnership of 10+ years with the Town of Marana, the Marana Police Department, and the Pima County Sheriffβs Department, that has helped increase the safety and security of campuses with the presence of School Resource Officers (SROs), school counselors, and social workers.

Teachers spend weeks getting classrooms ready...
Our families think we're decorating.
Teachers know we're basically moving into a second home. ππ¦π
Good luck to all the teachers putting the finishing touches on their classrooms this weekendβwe can't wait to welcome our Hawks on Monday! ππ¦

π One of the highlights from Wednesday's Welcome Back celebration is always the annual mascot challenge!
We think Harrison Hawk represented Picture Rocks Elementary pretty well... but we might be a little biased. ππ
What do you think? Is Harrison the coolest hawk in town? Let us know in the comments! β¬οΈ

ππ Champions Choose Excellence! π¦
On Wednesday, the Picture Rocks Elementary team proudly joined educators from across Marana Unified School District to kick off the 2026β2027 school year at the district's Welcome Back celebration.
This year's theme, "Champions Choose Excellence," is a reminder that excellence isn't just about the final outcomeβit's about the choices we make every day to learn, grow, encourage others, and give our very best.
Our staff left feeling inspired, energized, and more excited than ever to welcome our Hawks back for another incredible year. We are grateful to be part of such an amazing district and can't wait to make this our best year yet!
Here's to a year filled with learning, kindness, growth, and excellence. ππ¦
Not every classroom helper is thrilled about back-to-school season... π
Good thing a little teamwork (and maybe a snack afterward π¦π) goes a long way!
