Join us on Thursday to learn more about how you can work as a Sub in our amazing school district!
A few important announcements after our first day of school!
Elementary Parents and Guardians: We appreciate your patience in making the Elementary car rider line single file at the pickup point behind AR Care. The single file line ensures that no student has to walk in front of another vehicle or cross traffic to be picked up. This afternoon, the single file line caused a backup to Highway 42.
Starting tomorrow afternoon, as you turn off of Highway 42 and enter the car rider gravel drive, you may now form two lines to reduce backup. The two lanes will continue only on the gravel drive. Please alternate cars to reform a single file line at the dumpsters behind the elementary school so pickup remains safe for students at the car rider doors. It is essential to return to the single file lines off of Highway 42 and on all paved roads so that buses can exit campus unimpeded. There will be staff members outside to assist with this process for the next week. Please see the diagram below for reference.
No vehicles should utilize the front of the elementary school as a drop off point before 7:50 AM or after 3:00 PM.
High School Parents and Guardians: Please drop students off in the morning after 7:30. Staff members are on duty to supervise students in the school after this time.

Due to the current conditions of the football field at Thunderbird Stadium and the threat of thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, the district administration has made the decision to host the 2019 graduation in the high school gymnasium. The ceremony will still begin at 7:00 p.m. and seniors will need to be here at 6:00 p.m. We encourage parents, family, and guests to be seated before the ceremony begins. Once the ceremony begins, if you are not in your seats, you will be held in the lobby until the teachers and graduates have entered and been properly seated.
Seniors:
Reminder: Graduation practice is Thursday at 9:30. Senior breakfast will be at the Hut at 8:00. Don’t forget your cap and gown for the elementary senior walk. All seniors are required to be at practice. Please help spread the word! We are so proud of our seniors!
