All parents of all aged children are welcome to attend the Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, March 10 at Desert Foothills Jr High School 3333 W Banff Ln., Phx 85053.

Parents of students in 6, 7 and 8th grade are invited...

Tuesday, March 10 at 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. there will be a Town Hall meeting on Vaping and Social Media. Nikki Whaley, WESD Baord member, will open the event. Dorothy Watkins, district lead social worker will be facilitating with guest speakers from Touchstone Behavioral and Common Sense Media. The event will be at Desert Foothills Jr High School cafeteria with the doors opening at 5:15 for the 5:30-7 event. A light dinner will be available.

 Both of these topics, vaping and social media, are a concern for this age group of children. Information and knowledge are needed to best support our children. The flyer for this event is posted on Peach Jar (bottom left corner of our website).  We hope to see some of our parents take advantage of the information to be shared at this event. 

It's finally here! March 2 - March 6. We challenge you and your family to not watch TV or play video games for an entire week! We are excited to host different activities each evening to help you with the challenge. Please join us for AZ Science Night on Monday, Music concerts on Tuesday, Characters Come to Life on Wednesday (formerly known as Reading with the Stars), Acacia's Got Talent on Thursday and fun projects and crafts with PTA on Friday. The events are free! Join us and take the challenge!

Is your child ready? They've worked so hard with teachers to show growth on their tests. Testing starts after Spring Break. Please avoid making appointments on days of testing. Look for flyers to come home with specific dates.

Just a reminder that there are Parent/Teacher Conferences all week from February 3-7. All Students will be released EARLY on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 1:45 p.m.
