Celebrating our Los Nietos Karate students who achieved their next belt level! 🥋🎉

Last week, more than 110 students participated in our Belt Graduation at Pioneer High School. Students proudly demonstrated the skills they have been working hard to develop, including two schools performing their very first kata! 👏

We are so proud of their dedication, discipline, and growth. Congratulations to all of our students on this important achievement!

✨ We now have students at every level up to Orange Belt! Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence. 💪🥋

🎥 A special video recap is coming soon—stay tuned!

🎉 At our most recent Board of Education meeting, we had the privilege of celebrating some truly outstanding Los Nietos Middle School students!

First, we recognized our incredible MESA teams, who proudly represented Los Nietos School District at the MESA competition held at UC Irvine earlier this semester.

We then honored Team Plant Vitals—one of our MESA teams that advanced to both the regional and state competitions. Their hard work, innovation, and dedication earned them 1st Place in the entire State of California for the middle school division! 🏆🌱

Congratulations to Angel Leon, Andrew Lim, and Andrew Valdivia! Your accomplishments are extraordinary, and we are cheering you on as you head to Johns Hopkins University in Maryland this June to compete against the nation’s top teams at the National Competition. We believe in you!

Lastly, we celebrated our English Learner students who successfully met all requirements to redesignate. This milestone reflects their perseverance, commitment, and academic growth. We are so proud of each and every one of them! 🎓✨

In addition, our school principals presented their annual update to the Board, sharing the outstanding programs, engaging events, and academic successes taking place across our schools. Their presentations highlighted the incredible work of our students, staff, and families and demonstrated the many ways our schools are fostering achievement, connection, and growth.

Great things are happening in Los Nietos! From amazing students and supportive families to dedicated staff, our community continues to inspire excellence every day. 💙

📸 A few more highlights from our April LCAP Committee meeting!

We were excited to welcome students from Aeolian, who surprised attendees with a wonderful performance that showcased their talent and dedication. Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community members who continue to help shape the future of Los Nietos School District through the LCAP process.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Their courage, service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. This Memorial Day, we reflect with gratitude and honor those who gave everything for our country.

Check out our incredibly talented students from Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary and the LNMS Folklórico group, who delivered a wonderful performance at Congresswoman Linda Sánchez’s 24th Annual Congressional High School Art Competition Award Ceremony & Art Show!

A big thank you to their instructor, Ms. Jessica Leon, for her outstanding dedication and leadership.

Students were proudly supported this evening by Superintendent Dr. Rubalcaba, Board President Maritza Nieves, and Congresswoman Linda Sánchez, who recognized them for their exceptional performance.

We’re so proud of our students for representing our community with such talent and pride!
