Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians of Cesar Chavez, 
I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and high spirits as we approach the start of a new academic year at Cesar Chavez Elementary. It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new principal. My name is Maria Camacho and I bring 19 years of experience in education, and I am deeply passionate about fostering a love for learning and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the educational leader of this wonderful school and to partner with you in your child's educational journey. First and foremost, let me express my gratitude for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your child. I understand the importance of this responsibility and the trust you place in us as educators. Please know that I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. 
I firmly believe that education is a collaborative effort between the school, parents, and the community. Your involvement and support are vital to your child's success, and I encourage you to be actively engaged in their educational journey. I look forward to meeting each one of you personally and getting to know your child. I encourage you to share any concerns, questions, or ideas you may have. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us continuously improve and meet the needs of our students. I am excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunities it holds for our students. 
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Wishing you and your family a wonderful start to the school year! 
Warm regards, 
Maria Camacho Principal, M.Ed.

Donate Now!

Steps in Donating:
1. What is it?
Arizona Law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers to receive a tax credit of up to $200 for a single individual or a head of household and $400 for a married couple filing a joint return for donations that benefit students in our public school. That's not just a deduction, it's a tax credit-it reduces what you owe in the state taxes, dollar -for-dollar.
 
2. Who can benefit from this law?
All Arizona tax payers are eligible: you do not have to have children within the school district to benefit from this law. You can now donate through April 15 each year and claim your donation on the previous or current tax year.
 
3. What qualifies?
By law, only donations to extracurricular activities, such as tutoring, athletics, band, orchestra, field trips, special programs and more qualify for the tax credit. Donations must be made to the school district, but directly towards a specific activity at a specific school.
 
4. How do I donate?
To make a donations in person or by mail: simply complete and print the form: Tax Credit Donation Form. You may also contact the District Business Office to obtain the form. Your contribution can be delivered in person or mailed, along with your check, to Gadsden Elementary School District #32.
