Read Across America Week

Last week, our fifth grade students were able to attend the Buckeye Air Show. What a great experience to have.






Can you believe today is the 100th day of school? We are about 2/3 done!









Next week Read Across America begins! Join us in these daily themes:

Over the weekend, the SMUSD Elementary Robotics teams traveled to Queen Creek to compete in the Arizona Elementary VEX IQ State Finals. It was the first time in SMUSD history that all three elementary schools were represented at the State Finals! All three teams did great, but the Winters' Well RoboScorpions made it to the tournament playoffs and finished with a ranking of #6 in the state! They also won the first-ever State Finals award for SMUSD. Great job to all the students and coaches for their hard work this season.






Reminder: Wednesday, Feb.25 is an early release day for teacher development. Students dismiss at 11:15 AM.

Transportation will be using alternative routes at dismissal. We anticipate a delayed drop off time for many buses. We thank you for your patience as we ensure our students all get home safely.
Next Thursday, February 26 is our 100th day of school! To celebrate we invite students and staff to dress like a 100 year old. Let's have fun!

Due to an accident, the I-10 is closed. We are currently assessing the situation to determine how or if it will impact transportation at dismissal. We will provide an update as the impact on dismissal becomes more clear.
Disney day! Stitch seems to be a favorite with the new generation:










We are now making appointments for Kindergarten registration!

2nd graders learned about wildlife in nature; Lake Pleasant was beautiful!
