Laramie Letters 1.11.22
Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
Happy spring semester Roadrunners! Just a quick reminder that enrollment ends this Friday for next year! We are so excited to see so many families returning!!
Great news from both campuses… In a recent drop-in from the Arizona State Charter Board, our students and staff received high praise! This year marks the STCS 20-Year Charter Renewal process, which puts San Tan Charter School on a path to serving the community for 35 years. We are so proud of all our staff and students!!
Thank you!
Important Announcements
Lost and Found
Weekly on Wednesday’s we will donate all items left in Lost and Found to Goodwill. Please help your child to collect all their personal items from the Lost and Found area located inside the main building Recker hall across from the Recker library before Wednesday afternoon.
Arizona Tax Credit Program
The program is a win/win for everyone. By redirecting your tax dollars, you will support special programs at San Tan Charter School such as Music Education and Media Sciences, which each student participates in and Physical Education including Character Education, in which students participate in daily. It also helps support our newest addition of Library and computer lab time for our students.
The best part, is whatever you contribute, you will receive dollar for dollar back on your state taxes. So, if you give $100, you can deduct that $100 off what you owe in taxes. If you are a married couple, you may only contribute up to $400. If you are single, the total amount that you can contribute is $200. A one-time contribution is also wonderful.
