Attendance Reminder:

In- Person student attendance expectation:

Child must physically be on campus in class M-F 8:35am until school dismissal.

On-Line student attendance expectation:

Child must be in virtual meeting/classroom M-F all day. (Teachers have 2 times a day that they will take attendance virtually)

We are seeing an increase in online students not returning after lunch. Please make sure your child knows that they must be logged on all day.

If your child is an in-person learner and they are unable to attend for any reason other than Covid related exposure/quarantine they will be marked absent regardless of any online participation on that day. Tardies will remain the same- arrival after 8:35am parent will need to sign student in upon arrival.

*If for ANY REASON your child cannot meet the attendance expectations above please phone the office and let our attendance line know! 602-257-3914 we appreciate the communication our families have directly with teachers about attendance, However you must ALSO NOTIFY THE OFFICE.

Message From Jennifer Collier

We have successfully completed our third week of AzM2 testing. We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with our parents and guardians to make testing go so smoothly. Testing will continue next week (please see the schedule). As a reminder, please have your student bring to school with them:

· A water bottle

· Headphones

· A book to read or something quiet to work on after they finish testing

Thank you!

We are programmed to focus on negative events rather than positive ones. Please enjoy this article on how to practice focusing on the positives.

Shaw PTA

As we know, teachers change the lives of millions of children every day. In a year where instruction was both a mix of virtual and in-person, their immense work and impact provided a much-needed sense of community and connection for our families.

Please take a moment to #ThankATeacher during Staff Appreciation Week! Starting Monday May 3rd, there will be bins for each staff member placed outside the front office. Let’s show our gratitude by placing a gift and/or a note in their bins. Thank you so much for your support!
