A Note from Mrs. Colangelo, Principal
Dear Sonoran Foothills Families,
April is an important month as we begin state testing! Attendance and punctuality are key to student success. Please ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives on time each day. Students should bring their headphones, a fully charged Chromebook, and their charger to school.
We’re also excited for upcoming events! Our Book Fair will take place the week of April 28th, and we invite families to join us for STEAM Night on May 1st from 5:00-6:30 PM—a night of hands-on learning and fun! Additionally, our spring sports teams are off to a fantastic start—let’s cheer them on!
Thank you for your continued support in making this a great learning environment for all students.
Best,
Warm regards,
Mrs. Colangelo, Proud Principal
