Tauscher Times, 9/17/2024

Dear San Tan Family,

We have under two weeks reamining until the end of first quarter. As we welcome in Fall Break (Sept. 30 - Oct. 11) I want to thank our staff, parents and students for an amazing start to the new school year.

Help send us off to fall break in style. Next week is Homecoming! It will be a tropical vibe around campus culminating with the parade, pep assembly and varsity football game on Friday. Then, we have our tropical-themed Homecoming dances for both our junior high and high school students on Saturday!

Please help us be good neighbors. The community north of the school has asked that we do not conduct our parent pick-up after school in their neighborhood, as the additional traffic has interfered with their bussing and normal traffic flow. Please make sure that parent pick-up is happening on the Power Campus.

Don't forget next week we have our half-day schedules Wednesday through Friday, with school letting out at 12:06pm. Thursday and Friday will be our parent-teacher conferences, with the late night event and teacher dinner on Thursday.
