Solar Eclipse
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. Tucson is not in the path of totality but we will se about 75% coverage. Learn more at NASA's Solar Eclipse Website.

Firstly, it measures your child's growth and academic proficiency on the state standards. Secondly, as a school, our letter grade is based on how much growth and proficiency our student's demonstrate. Please ensure your child attends, comes prepared and does their best on each of these tests. Each test date is below:
