With my office windows open on this blustery October day, I can hear the happy laughter and voices of our students. They are walking to the high school to help judge the Homecoming floats. This afternoon we will celebrate our school with the traditional Homecoming parade. Each and every student in our school will line the curbs of the parade route to cheer on our high school students. This activity alone, speaks to what our school stands for - community. We are one large family from grades Preschool -12 and you, the parents/guardians of these precious children, are an important part of that family! Together, we are making a huge difference in the educational experiences of our students. The Arizona Department of Education just released the AzMERIT scores by schools. I am very pleased to announce that our percentages of students passing both the ELA and Math tests are among the top in the county. The top 4 performing schools with relation to percent of student passing, are all charter schools. We are making a difference. Our overall passing rate was 55% for ELA and 53% for Math. Thank you parents, for your ongoing support of our awesome schools. Susan Chan, Executive Director October 24, 2019 3410 N.
