A Message from the Principal

Dear Jaguar Families,


We have a lot to report this month so please read through all of the information below. I look forward to the many opportunities we have to interact with our students, their families, and our community members.


Thank you and have a great month!


Respectfully,


Mrs. Tassin and the Wigwam Creek Staff

Attendance

It is very helpful when parents/guardians call our attendance clerk for absences and tardies. Please be sure to reach out to Ms. Almaroad when your child is going to be absent or tardy.


The attendance line is 623-547-1103.


Ms. Barron's email address is barronk@lesd.k12.az.us


We appreciate your support with this.

ParentVue and Computer Access

A reminder that 3rd-8th grade midterms, and KG-8th grade quarter report cards will be available to view in your ParentVUE account.


If you are not able to log into your account, please email parentvue@lesd.k12.az.us for assistance.


If you do not have access to a computer, or a smartphone (ParentVue does have an app for your phone) please call the office and provide your contact information to the office staff. My goal is that all families have 100% access to their child's school information.


With that being said, we will have computers available to parents/guardians during our upcoming Student Showcase on September 15th. Office staff will also be there to support with passwords.

Fall Game Schedule

We are so excited to welcome students, families, and community members back as guests and fans to our sporting events. It has been so great to see the stands filled with fans and cheering our athletes to victory,


A small reminder about home games: Students must go home first and then return for the scheduled games. Due to safety concerns, we cannot allow students to stay after school until the game starts. There is no adult supervision on campus until that time. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.


Check out our fall sports game schedules below. We hope to see you there!

Jaguar Booster Club

WE NEED YOU. In an effort to support our students and staff we are asking for your assistance. It has been several years since we've had a fully "staffed" booster club and we'd like to "BOOST" our members and attendance at our meetings this year.


There is a meeting on September 8, 2022, from 6pm-7pm in the Media Center. Please see the agenda below.

Site Council

Thank you to the volunteers who have committed to our Wigwam Creek Site Council. Our first meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, in the Media Center. The tentative time is 5:30pm-6:30pm. An agenda will go out to all families a week prior to the meeting and it will be posted on our school website.

Food Delivery

Food delivered by any delivery service (ie. Door Dash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Seamless, etc.) will NOT be accepted by our front office staff. Several services now require confirmation codes and this is a huge disruption to our office and more importantly to our students' learning environment. Thank you ahead of time for your understanding with this.
