Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.

Dear Parents,
Please be advised that we have a revised specials’ schedule for the second semester. Generally, Art and PE will be flipped for students in grades 3, 4, and 5. Unfortunately, since we have five groups in fifth grade the fifth grade chorus group will still have one PE rather than two. Luckily, we will still have lunch time sports on days one and three of the six-day rotation. You can access the specials' schedule here. Please note we are on Day 3 when we return from the winter break. Thank you.
