FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!
The Family Engagement Team truly values the opinions of our community. We are always eager to learn more about the needs of our students and their families so we know best how to serve you. The ways we can help go beyond just what happens during class time; we can provide resources and support at home as well. One of the most effective ways for us to find out how we are doing is through our Annual Family Engagement Survey. The survey takes 1-2 minutes to complete, and will help us to make your students' experience at Sabino even better!
TUSD EDI SUMMIT
We had a FANTASTIC time at this years' Equity, Diversity, and Inclusiveness Summit on October 20th! There were nearly 50 students there to represent Sabino, and all students thoroughly enjoyed attending the workshops and masterclass sessions. With the DJ performances and motivational speakers, there was lots of dancing and even a $500 check awarded to one of our students to start up their own business! Congratulations to Alec Spears for sharing his vision and entrepreneurial drive that led to him being selected for the $500! We can't wait to go back next year!
Special thanks to the staff who helped to make this day possible:
