Friendly Reminders
Personal Items at School
Toys & Sports Equipment at school
We have noticed a sudden increase in toys and stuffed animals coming to school. Also, we are seeing Pokemon cards appearing both in the classroom and outside at recess.
These items usually become the source of conflict and/or upset because they get damaged, lost or "borrowed" by others.
JumpBunch Days: Footwear
If students are wearing crocs, dress shoes, sandals or any other type of shoe that is not appropriate for outdoor activities a call will be made home to have shoes brought in. Otherwise, they may have to sit out of Jumpbunch for the day. This is to ensure the safety of our students.
Students attend Jumpbunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week.
If you have any questions please reach out.

At ASU Preparatory Academy, we believe that if we fill our students' vision buckets to the top, their achievements will overflow for years to come. With 2023 fast approaching, our students are making New Year's resolutions to shine bright in the spring semester. In donating to our tax credit campaign, you can help fill their buckets with brand-new learning possibilities that will make those resolutions a reality.
All end-of-year giving contributions will support academic success, after school clubs, arts and culture, field experiences, athletics, and other necessities to benefit our students.
Since ASU Prep is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States, your gift can qualify as tax-deductible to the extend allowed by state law. Or if you live in Arizona, you may qualify for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit* (up to $200 if filing single, $400 if filing jointly) when you make a financial donation to ASU Prep.
We wish you a very happy new year! Sun Devils positively impact their communities, and foster a college-going environment. With help from generous contributors like you, our students can thrive. Visit our website or click the button below to support our Sun Devils!
*Please consult a qualified tax adviser to discuss your tax credit eligibility or questions*
