Marley Park News

We are excited for our second season of Chess Club at Marley Park.  Our Mavericks are practicing and preparing for district competition.  We are looking forward to cheering them on and supporting them this season! 

The Dysart Unified School District Governing Board has placed Proposition 421 on the November 3, 2026 ballot to maintain safe, functional learning environments, and support continued growth. The estimated tax impact to the community is $3 per month, or $36 per year.* 

If approved, here are a few of the ways our schools and community needs will be supported:

• Replacement of aging air conditioning systems and fire panels
• Renovation of aging facilities
• Construction of a new elementary school
• Land for a high school
  

Get registered to vote in this mail-in only election by October 5 at Elections.Maricopa.gov and learn more at Dysart.org/Prop421.

*Based on an estimated $0.17 tax rate on an average assessed home value of $215,435. Assessed value is determined by the Maricopa County Assessor's Office to calculate property taxes, and is not the same as the market value that a home would sell for. Tax rates are an estimate and are influenced by a variety of factors including Maricopa County assessed valuation fluctuations.

Congratulations to our newest Maverick National Junior Honor Society members! We are proud to welcome you into this important leadership role at Marley Park. We look forward to watching you continue to serve others, lead by example, and exceed academic expectations. Congratulations, Mavericks! Your leadership is just getting started!

No time to volunteer? No problem! You can still make a difference by becoming a PTA member for just $10. Your membership helps strengthen our PTA and supports the many programs, celebrations, and improvements that benefit our entire campus. 

Last year, our PTA helped make some pretty amazing things happen, including our digital marquee, Student of the Month celebrations, STAR Store, new playground equipment, school supplies, teacher appreciation, campus beautification, and so much more! 

This year, our PTA will continue supporting programs and experiences across our campus while also beginning an exciting new mission: raising funds for sunshades to provide much-needed shade at the front of our school! Every membership, volunteer hour, and contribution helps our PTA continue doing great things for our Mavericks.
