Roadrunner News

Welcome Back, Roadrunners!

As we begin a new school year, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of our students, families, and staff. The first weeks of school were filled with excitement, new opportunities, and endless possibilities. We are thrilled to have our students back on campus and can't wait to see the incredible growth they will achieve this year.

At Stanfield Elementary School District, our vision is simple: Dream! Believe! Achieve! Every day, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student feels a strong sense of belonging and is inspired to reach their highest potential.

This year, our focus is on Growing Greatness—growing academically, socially, emotionally, and as a school community. Growth doesn't happen overnight. It happens one lesson, one challenge, one act of kindness, and one success at a time. We are excited to partner with our families as we nurture each child's unique strengths and celebrate their progress throughout the year.

As we settle into our routines, please remember to:

• Ensure your contact information and home address are current with the school office.
• Log into your EduLog account to view and track your student's bus route.
• Stay connected by checking our website, Facebook page, and school communications for important updates and upcoming events.
• Use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to review your student's attendance and assignments/grades.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. Together, we will continue to build a school community where every student has the opportunity to dream big, believe in themselves, and achieve great things.

Here's to a wonderful school year filled with learning, growth, and success!

Yours in Education,
Mrs. Murrieta

Beginning this school year, Arizona's Healthy Schools Act introduces new requirements for foods that are served, sold, or shared during the school day in schools participating in federal meal programs.

What does this mean for families?
You can still pack any lunch, snack, or treat for your own child. These new requirements do not apply to food you send for your child's individual use.

If you're sending snacks or treats to be shared with the class, they must meet the Arizona Healthy Schools Act requirements. Classroom celebrations, birthday treats, and other shared foods during the school day must follow the new guidelines.

To make things easier, our Food Services Dept has created a list of approved classroom snacks that can be shared with students. From crackers and popcorn to fruit snacks and beverages, there are plenty of options that meet the new requirements. Check out our website at www.goroadrunners24.com.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us provide a safe, healthy learning environment for all students. Please take a moment to review the attached graphic before purchasing classroom snacks this year.

Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!
