A Message from the Principal
Dear Jaguar Families,
We are already into the second month of 2021. Please read the information below to keep yourself updated with school and district-related happenings.
- Please remember, if you received paperwork from Ms. Adair, our office registrar, in December, it is crucial that the paperwork be signed and returned. Please reach out to Ms. Adair with questions or concerns. adair@lesd.k12.az.us
- Mid-Term reports will be sent home electronically on Thursday, February 4, 2021. As a result, parents will not receive a progress report on Tuesday, February 2, 2021.
- It is that time of year to either renew or apply for Open-Enrollment. Please see the information for how to apply.
- During the week of February 8th, each content teacher will have one day that he/she will be conducting lessons via video recording. The video, along with the accompanying materials will be posted in each teacher's Google Classroom.
- We are happy to announce our first virtual school assembly. It is scheduled for Friday, February 5th. Tune-in for the fun!
- Our Superintendent Ms. Gunning, along with our Executive Director of Finance, Ms. Qualls, recently updated three videos educating all stakeholders on school finance. Please visit School Finance for more information.
I'd like to thank all families for their continued support of our teachers and staff. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Tassin and the Wigwam Creek Staff

OPEN ENROLLMENT
It’s that time: Open enrollment is now available for the 2021-2022 School Year
Many of our families attend Wigwam Creek through Open Enrollment. If Wigwam Creek is NOT your neighborhood school you will need to complete a new Open Enrollment form for each child attending Wigwam Creek or any other school in the LESD. If Wigwam Creek IS your home school you do not need to fill out an open enrollment form, your child will automatically be rolled over for next year. (This applies to our incoming 6th graders as well.) For more information about open enrollment please click the link below.
If you do not live in Wigwam Creek boundaries and you would like your child to attend Wigwam Creek during the 2021-2022 school year, please fill out the form below. If you are currently at Wigwam Creek with an Open Enrollment, you will also need to complete this form for the next school year.
