Summer gives students a break from the endless math facts and book reports during the school year, but there is still more learning to be done. Here are some tips on how to escape the summer heat and have fun indoors, while sneaking in some learning and family fun.
Kindergarten families, please join us for Meet the Teacher Night on July 27 from 5-7 p.m. This is your chance to tour the campus and view classrooms with your student before school begins on August 4. See you there!
Arizonans are typically familiar with their environment—both the dangers and the wonders—though sometimes residents can be so comfortable in their desert home that they can forget or overlook the little behaviors and habits, which can prove to be real lifesavers.
Enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year begins soon! Make sure to bring your child’s birth certificate, immunization records, proof of Arizona residency, completed registration forms, and parent or guardian ID.

Prop 123 is the proposed settlement between the parties of the Cave Creek Unified School District v. State of Arizona, which was ruled on in 2013 by the State Supreme Court. The ruling states that the state legislature’s undercutting and adjustments of the funding guidelines approved by voters in Prop 301 (2000) was a violation of the voter mandate.

April 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of National Poetry Month. According to the Academy of American Poets, this observance has become the “largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, bloggers, and, of course, poets marking poetry’s important place in our culture and our lives.”
