Coyote Update

What an exciting and busy first week back! It was amazing to see everyone refreshed and ready to start school. We welcomed 19 new students to our family and we have officially reached capacity for our school.

This quarter is a quick one, 41 days. Daily attendance is important to ensure that students do not fall behind in their coursework. Completing a semester's worth of work in a quarter is challenging. Please assist us with getting your child here on time and ready to go daily at 7:30 AM.

Teachers have been sending home their syllabi for their in-person classes. Please read each syllabus and return the parent signature page. The district is assisting us with all lift lab course's syllabi and we will get those out as soon as we can.

Our daily schedule has changed just a bit as we took 5 minutes away from our first break of the day and added it to lunch. 2nd hour now starts at 9:05 AM and lunch starts at 12:10 PM.

Once again we thank you for all of your support! Have a great 3-day weekend.

What is a teacher?

Google defines a teacher as a person who helps students acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue.

Our three teachers definitely fit that description, but they are so much more to our students. As a small school, students get close with their teachers and our teachers look after their students as if they were their own. They make the time to listen to their students and really hear what they are saying. They encourage them to get their classes completed and to come to school every day. All our teachers use their prep hour to tutor students that are struggling. Did you know that our teachers rotate having lunch in their room so no student would have to eat alone?

We are truly fortunate to have three amazing, multi-talented teachers to take care of our students. Channel 3 News and Arizona Bank & Trust sponsor the Silver Apple Award to honor outstanding Arizona teachers. If you would like to show your support and appreciation of our teachers, have your child fill out a nomination form.

Arizona law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400.00 per calendar year if filing status is Married, filing Joint Return; $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is Single or Head of Household; and, $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is Married filing separate return — for contributions that fund extracurricular activities in public schools.
