Junior high photography students were excited to have class outside today as they begin working with cameras, and getting comfortable handling the equipment. Students worked in teams to complete a 'photo scavenger hunt'.
Keep an eye out for some exciting projects this year!!










2nd day of school and we are into curriculum. I have found that most Freshmen and Sophomores do not like TextBook Tuesdays, but upper classmen appreciate the relaxed assignment.
When talking with former students, that are adults, in the real world, they would love to come back to High School and do a TextBook Tuesday instead of "adulting".
TextBook Tuesdays are where test questions come from, so the information is available even if a student is not in class, this helps with those that play sports.
Here's to a great 26/27 school year!

Today we dipped our hands into some magical glitter sand to celebrate the start of an amazing school year while exploring new textures, calming those first-day nerves, and building fine motor skills. These Kinders brought so much joy, energy, and sparkle to our school today!


New State Healthy Schools Act in Effect
Pick up your guide at the office during Open House on August 3 from 6-7pm!
The Arizona Healthy Schools Act (HB 2164) takes effect for the 2026–2027 school year, banning specific additives and synthetic dyes in public school meals.
The restrictions apply to all school-provided food—including cafeterias, vending machines, and classroom treats—from midnight until 30 minutes after school ends. Home-packed lunches are excluded - students cannot share or trade.
