Laramie Letters 1.25.23
Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
Over the past year, between Power Campus leadership and Recker Campus leadership, we have been seeking our Cognia reaccreditation. Our Cognia, formerly known as AdvancED, accreditation is an international recognized “gold stamp” that the way we educate our students, to use their words, is “revolutionary”. In the background this year, have been many sessions in which staff and leadership have analyzed data points, including the assessments we sent to you all, highlighting the remarkable things that we do as an organization and to creates plans of action to propel us to refine in the coming years.
I am thrilled and could not be prouder to tell you that today, we received our official reaccreditation notification.
I just want to take the time to thank staff and all of our families for supporting the mission, vision and values of San Tan, we are doing remarkable things for our students.
Have a wonderful week!
– Mrs. Sarah Laramie
