Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
Happy conference week! I hope everyone’s breaks were wonderful! I cannot believe it is already fourth quarter! With the start of 4th quarter, we begin state testing for grades 3rd-6th grades. Please read below for more information.
I have included Summer Camp information in this email so that you can all begin planning summer activities. We have Sports camps, Theater Camps and full time Summer Camps all planned for all through the summer.
Mrs. Laramie
Important Announcements
State Testing Information
Parents of Students in grades 3-6- I have included the state testing schedules in this email. Please make sure to schedule doctors’ appointments etc. on days where your student is not testing as once a student starts their test, they will need to finish on that same day. If they are signed out early, they will leave their testing incomplete which will majorly impact their scores. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
