Calling ALL Families: Academic Parent Teacher Teams
Each classroom will have a 75 minute session with all families to look and discuss where your child is at in reading and math, learn a fun way to help your child at home, and set a goal for your child. This will be extremely interactive and you will leave with tools to support your child's academic growth.
While you are attending your child's Academic Parent Teacher Team your school age children get to have a fun filled ART NIGHT in the gymnasium! We can't wait to see what they create.
Here is the schedule for Academic Parent Teacher Teams
Monday, October 7th 5pm-6:15pm: Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Leonard's Parents/Guardians & ART Night

Classroom Attendance
This quarter we are seeing which classroom earns a pizza party! Also, when a class earns 10 pepperonis they all get a dress down day.
Remember it is the law in Arizona that all students must be in school 90% of the time. This means the most days they can miss in a school year is 18 days. Please be sure to get your child to school on time and regularly.
Dismissal
1) Please either pull around and wait in the car line or park in the DU parking lot and walk to get your child. **Our surrounding businesses ask that you do not park on their property.**
2) Help us remind your child to walk to your car.
3) Always pull all the way forward to keep the line moving.
4) Be alert since we have many kids getting into cars at the same time.
5) Report any issues to the office by calling (623)974-4827.
Thank you for helping us to keep our kids safe.
