Borton Magnet Elementary Newsletter
April 7, 2024 Edition
Hi Borton Community!
Happy April to all of you! The weather is warming up and we are rounding the corner on another fantastic year at Borton. Thank you all for your commitment to our school and community. The magic of Borton is powered by our amazing families, staff, students, and community members. It is such a pleasure to work with all of you! We do have Arizona state testing occurring during this Month. Our 3rd – 5th grades will be doing AASA testing this week on Monday, April 8th, Tuesday, April 9th, Wednesday, April 10th and Thursday, April 11th. The testing session will begin at 8:45 am each morning until approximately 10:45 – 11am. At that point, students that are still testing will continue testing with Amanda R. in the Axolotl or MPR. Students or classrooms that are finished at the end of the session may continue with their planned activities. We also have a solar eclipse this month! Please see the details for that in the newsletter below. Finally, we have some great events planned for the end of the year. Please make sure to view the important events and PTA calendar for our Movie Night and Art show on April 19th, and be sure to view the newsletter for all our other school-sponsored events this month.
Thank you all!
Mr. Eric

Tax Credit Donation
The Borton Community relies so heavily on your generous donations through AZ tax credits. We wanted to let you all know that we received over $28,000 through tax credit donations last year. Your donations help to fund field trips, special events, athletics, yearbook, technical support and assistance, arts, music, and so much more. Please see the form in the attachment below if you are interested in making a donation. You can also call the office if you would like more information.
Courtyard Gate
In an effort to make sure that our students are safe and secure, we have decided to keep the blue gate on the south-side of the courtyard closed in the mornings until a Borton employee is able to supervise students. Ms. Yvette usually gets in the courtyard at about 8:10 and opens the door for our students to jump rope.
