The Lion's Share

We can't thank you enough for supporting our school during the Step It Up fundraiser. Your genorosity is appreciated. The PTO received over $19,000 to support students and teachers.

Thanks Dads' Club for sponsoring the Someone Special Dance. The dance floor was packed and we had a great time.

We are excited to announce that our school will be offering an Accelerated Program for the 2024-2025 school year. One classroom at each grade level will be accelerated. Students will work at a faster and more rigorous pace. Our first informational meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 26th at 5:00 pm in the library. If you are interested in this program for your child, please join me at the meeting and use the link below to share your interest.

Spring Break is the week of March 11th and March 18th. I wish each of our lion families a fun-filled and safe spring break. School resumes on Monday, March 25th.

Thanks,

Andrea Emerick

Measles

You may have seen in the news that there have been two cases of measles in the East Valley recently. While we hope that these are the last of the cases, it is important to acknowledge that Measles is extremely contagious and that there is a possibility that this could impact our schools at some point. Therefore we would like to share some helpful and important information with our families. Typically the illness starts off with a fever, cough and runny nose. It is soon followed by a rash that typically starts at the head and soon covers the entire body. If measles does spread into our school community we will immediately begin working with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) and you will be notified. Any students who are not vaccinated will be identified and MCDPH will determine when they can safely return to school. Unvaccinated students may need to be out as long as 21 days and if more cases arise, it could be longer.

If you have any questions regarding measles or would like resources on vaccinations please reach out to our Health Office.
