Letter from the Principal

Dear San Tan Families,

I hope your summers are going well. School Year 2023-2024 is in full swing with teachers returning today! Here is a picture with our fantastic new staff as they started training yesterday. It is already a great start to the year as we prepare for your kiddos to return to school July 25th.

Come meet your teacher before Open House! We will be playing Super Mario Bros. for our families starting THIS Friday, July 14th from 4:00-6:00 in the Gymnasium. We will be having a costume contest with prizes, a photo wall and lots of dancing. Please bring any seating you might want to watch the movie. We will have the bleachers out but camp chairs, blankets etc. are all welcome!

Order Pizza and Water for Movie Night by TOMORROW Wednesday July 12th by clicking on the following link: Recker Family Movie Night.

If you are NOT receiving my emails, my best recommendation is to add me (slaramie@santancs.com) as a contact. This will ensure that my emails are not identified as “spam” in your inbox.

 

– Mrs. Sarah Laramie

Sports Information Night

Our students in grades 5 and up have the opportunity to join our amazing athletics programs this fall. Attached, you will also see the Sports Physical form that all athletes are required to fill out and complete in order to participate in their sport. In an effort to make the process more convenient for our families, we will be providing onsite physicals at the Power Campus on Saturday, July 22ndfrom 2-5pm. If you would like to participate we are asking families to register via this link STCS Sports Physical Exam to reserve your spot. Please keep in mind student-athletes cannot participate in practice or games if their sports physical is not completed, so it is imperative to complete the physical exam prior to the team’s first practice! All Junior High sport practices start on Tuesday, August 1st.

The STCS Athletic Department will be hosting a Fall Sports Information Night on Thursday, July 13th at 5:30pm in the Power Green Gym. This will provide our families the opportunity to meet our fall coaches and ask any questions they may have regarding our sports program.
