National Board Certified Teacher
Congratulations to the newly National Board Certified teacher, Mrs. Shay Aley! She is one of our extraordinary second grade teachers here at Desert Sage. National Board Certification is the most respected professional certification available in education and provides numerous benefits to teachers, students and schools. Studies have proven that the students of Board-certified teachers learn more — and the impact is greater for high need students. Way to go Mrs. Aley!
AZ School Tax Credit for Desert Sage
Your school tax credit donations can provide Desert Sage students with opportunities to after school and summer programs, field trips, music and athletic programs or any other extracurricular activity.
The Arizona tax credit program (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows a tax credit of up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples, filing jointly, in support of extracurricular activities.
The tax credit reduces your tax burden to the state of Arizona, dollar for dollar.
This year, AZ tax credit dollars can help us purchase needed capital items as well if donated to the general fund.
