Dear Brandon,

Happy New Year!

We are looking forward to having our students back on campus starting tomorrow!

As we look ahead to the start of a new year, we will continue to raise the level of expectations for excellence as a school. To best prepare students for their exams, teachers have a renewed focus on their BELLWORK activities to assist in the rigors of our state tests, which include ACT, ACT-Aspire, as well as the AASA and AZSci. Feel free to research these state assessments and check-out the resources available to families to best prepare your students.

If you are interested in having your child tested for giftedness, please complete the linked Parent Request Form below, along with the $50 Co-Pay.

  • Gifted testing is offered in mid-February.
  • Once a child is identified as gifted, they do not need to retest.
  • All 2nd graders will automatically be tested.
  • If your student is identified as ‘provisional’ and currently in a gifted class, they will automatically be tested for gifted.

**Gifted Testing Requests are due no later than January 12th.

Tax Credit

The giving season is still upon us! This year’s tax credit giving goal is $100,000.00.

Your gift — large or small — will make a difference.

With your support, we can continue to provide the programs outlined below;

  • Culinary Arts: Restaurant quality cutlery, pots/pans, additional shelving, and supplies for the classroom
  • Fine Arts: Music for concerts, playbills, programs, paint, art supplies, and sound equipment
  • Full-Day Kindergarten Scholarship Grants
  • Library: Shelves and books
  • Health Care Supplies
  • Athletics
  • Clubs

There are TWO ways to give!

In addition, our Montessori Preschool School gives out around $45,000.00 a year in scholarship to those families in need, we are able to offer these scholarships because of the Arizona School tax credit program. The best part is whatever you contribute, you will receive dollar for dollar back on your state taxes. So, if you give $100, you can deduct that $100 off what you owe in taxes. You do not have to have a child at the school to pledge, you must only be an AZ State resident paying AZ State taxes.
