Principal's Update
Dear Anasazi Families,
The Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) Governing Board met last night to review the results of the parent survey data and to discuss the next steps to begin to phase in on campus learning in our District. You can view the presentation with the survey results here and you can view a replay of the video of the discussion and vote here. The Board voted to authorize the Superintendent to continue providing the EDL model for those families who choose it through the end of the current semester (December 18, 2020) as well as to implement a phased-in "full return in person" model, for those families who choose it, resulting in a natural hybrid consistent with the ADHS metrics while the district is in "yellow." Students will return to campus in grade-level cohorts according to this schedule, provided health metrics permit:
• September 14-Special Education Special Programs and Pre-School
• September 21-K-2
• September 29-3-5
• October 5-FALL BREAK
• October 12--Middle School and High School
For more information, log on to our website any time at www.susd.org.

September IB Learner Attribute - PRINCIPLED
IB in Action from Home
- Encourage your child to play games that involve teams.
- Discuss with your child the qualities of a team player.
- What sort of person would they want on their team?
- When your child wins a game insist that he or she is a well- mannered winner. They might thank their opponent or shake hands with them if it’s appropriate. •
- When playing a game, don’t change the rules to let your child win. Being a gracious loser is just as important as being a good winner
