We'll have stations set up and led by teachers. This event is free for families, but please register below so we can plan for copies. Kona Ice will also be on site!
We have worked hard to create a robust electives offering this school year. Our PE department is planning a Patriot Day on September 11th and bringing a firetruck in for our Kindergarteners. Please see the below letter regarding Patriot Day and how to be a Patriot! We will need a few parent volunteers to help make Patriot Day a success.
Sign-ups for attending Patriot Day because you are either a veteran or a first responded will be available next week.
We are excited to announce another opportunity for our San Tan Charter School community to continue its strong tradition of giving back to local organizations.
On Saturday, Sept. 13 we will be helping athletes at the Arizona Special Olympics swim meet at Mesa Skyline High School. Students in grades 5 and older can register along with a guardian to help make this a wonderful day for athletes and volunteers. It's definitely an event that will make lasting memories!
Check out our PE Newsletter and Art Overview below for more information regarding our PE and Art program this school year. We are fortunate that the extension fees have been able to offer our students a very robust elective program this school year.
Our 5th - 6th mainstream/gifted students, along with Upper Elementary and Adolescent Montessori are getting the opportunity to learn an orchestra instrument this year. Save the date - we are hosting an instrument rental night on Thursday, August 28th from 5-6 pm to make the process of renting an instrument as easy as possible! This night we will have Milanos music on campus so you can rent at school and get information on pricing, fitting, and expectations when renting. Hope to see you there!
