Before we left for Summer Break we were able to celebrate Mrs. Hall!!
Mrs. Hall has retired after 18 wonderful years of blessing our little ones with her love and passion!
After 18 years of inspiring young minds and nurturing a passion for STEM and computing, her dedication and expertise has left an indelible mark on countless students. Her retirement marks the end of an era, but the impact of your teaching will continue to resonate for years to come.
Mrs. Hall spent her 18 years at CUE, Catalayah and Westside. She has been at Catalayah with us since our doors opened. We will miss you Mrs. Hall. Enjoy your retirement!!!!

Every day, each student has the opportunity to earn a “Character Counts” certificate. Any adult in the building can give them out when they notice a student showing exceptional character traits. When a student receives the certificate, the teacher recognizes them in the moment, praising them for following the life principles, or character traits, that help us to become better humans. Students place their “Character Counts” in a box, and the following morning during rise and shine, the student’s name is called, they stand, and the entire school gives them two power claps. A random winner is chosen daily and has their photo posted on the wall for everyone to see. The winner also receives a small prize that has been donated by local businesses! Every single Character Counts certificate is displayed on the wall and students love searching for their own. Sometimes they are hard to find... because there are so many!
The total number of Character Counts for the 2023-2024 school year is……….. 3,057!
Great Job Catalayah Students!!!!
