Dear Parents and Guardians,

Congratulations to all of our Juniors for completing their ACT testing last week!

This week begins our state assessment AASA Writing, Reading and Math. We are encouraging attendance for the testing and students being on time with charged Chromebooks (7th and 8th grade)

Some testing tips:

1. Get plenty of sleep the night before testing.

2. Eat a good breakfast that morning (for our students that eat breakfast at school eat prior to playing on the playground)

3. Bring a snack to make sure you can stay fueled up throughout the day.

4. Take your time and try your best!

ENROLLMENT 2024-2025

Enrollment is open for the 24-25 school year. To save your spot please login to your parent portal to complete. If you do not currently have an active parent portal, please contact the front office to obtain an activation code.

Per the Arizona Education Code 15-821 (C), “a child is eligible for admission to kindergarten if the child is five years of age.

Polos and/or collard shirts are required for all k-6 students.

PJs are not allowed in any grade level and this includes dress down days unless otherwise noted.

We are asking parents to please help us to provide an educational environment by speaking to their students about bringing blankets to school, this has become popular amongst the high school students. As a school we have asked the students to not wear blankets in classes.

As many families have noticed we have had the pleasure of having Chandler PD on campus to support a positive learning environment.

AZ Compass and Vector Prep received grant money to provide an officer on campus daily, their number 1 job is to be a positive role model for all students.

As a positive role model for students and the school community, the SRO should:

• Set limits by being clear about what is acceptable and what is not; letting students

know the consequences of unacceptable behavior and the rewards for acceptable

behavior.

• Set an example by modeling how to handle stress, resolve conflicts, celebrate

successes, and be a friend.

• Be honest by providing accurate information.

• Be consistent with students, staff, and parents in applying rules and regulations.

• Encourage responsibility by helping students to think through options and consequences of decisions, set personal goals, and develop a plan to make the desired changes.

• Show respect by treating students with respect and expressing high expectations for

them.

• Always strive to be a positive role model because students learn from every

observation of or interaction with the SRO.
