Our school is located in the town of Rio Rico, Arizona, approximately 15 miles north of the Mexican border town of Nogales and is part of the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District. Our school population is primarily of Hispanic heritage with a cultural capital centered on family and community. The adage “it takes a village to raise a child” in the context of education can be translated to, “It takes a professional learning community to effectively educate our students.” Here at Coatimundi Middle School we are always striving to be an effective professional learning community. We were rewarded for our efforts by the Arizona Educational Foundation with an A+ Status in 2011. The Arizona Educational Foundation created the A+ Schools of Excellence Program as a comprehensive school assessment tool to identify, celebrate, and recognize overall educational excellence in schools throughout Arizona. Our mission and vision statements are our school’s guiding forces. You might notice that present in both the mission and vision statement is the word “everyone.” All stakeholders must be involved in the learning process in order to be successful; we must act in rhythm to achieve a true professional learning community.

 Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, and Staff, It has been an honor and pleasure working each day with the students and staff at Coatimundi Middle School so far this year, and it has been a very rewarding feeling as a professional. It is our top priority to strive towards meeting each student’s social, emotional, educational, and physical needs while in our care. As this semester wraps up, please remember communication is key. I wish all of you a happy December, joyful holidays, and a pleasant winter break. I hope everyone enjoys spending time with family, friends, and loved ones around! Your partner in education, Rebekah Cabrera Rebekah Cabrera, Principal  |
