During the week of March 28, students, from grade 3 up, across the state of Arizona will be taking the AzMERIT test; 4th and 8th graders will also be taking the AIMS Science Test.
The Deadline Looms
April 15 traditionally closes tax season every year. If you haven’t filed yet, there is still time to earn the 2015 Arizona school tax credit. Arizona law (ARS 43-1098.01) allows tax payers to receive a tax credit of up to $400 for donations that benefit students in public schools. This credit lowers your state tax debt dollar for dollar.
March is Women’s History Month, and the 2016 theme, as stated in the title of this feature, is dedicated to honoring women in public service and government. This month typically features events and efforts to recognize and focus on the contributions of women and their “consistently overlooked and undervalued” roles in national and world history. The inroads and work of women in government and activism is sometimes missed and outright ignored, especially when their attention is focused on achieving actionable goals rather than recognition.
February 29 is Leap Day.
This week, February 8 – 12, 2016, schools and libraries all over the country are celebrating Love of Reading week.

For more information, check our newsletter and calendar of events.
Literacy and literacy education remain at the forefront of parent and teacher concerns. In our increasingly digital world, literacy is an indispensable commodity. Being able to read and write fluently is vital to participation and success in the current state of our world. Between text, email, and the time we all spend online, much of the information we consume is in print, so strong reading skills are a must for success today and in the future.
We believe that high-quality early childhood education is essential for a strong academic foundation that advocates lifelong learning.

Bullying and cyberbullying are at the forefront of conversations for parents, educators, and policymakers around the world. The practice remains pervasive in our society and spans from the schoolyard to the workplace. It can start as early as third grade, and earlier according to some studies, and follow a child through his or her educational career, affecting his or her studies, socialization, and self-esteem. The effects of bullying can linger far into adulthood.
The Patriot Times is hot off the presses! This student-written school newspaper is a combined effort of the La Paloma Academy Lakeside Newspaper Club and the Central campus’ after-school writing and poetry club, Sin Fronteras. Their hard work resulted in a paper featuring the latest news for fellow students and parents, plus original poetry selections, and comics.
