Enrollment Information
If you are a returning family who has not re-enrolled, please be prepared to receive a call from Christine Gray at the front office. She will sign you up on the spot! In planning for staffing for next school year, we need to know an accurate count of students attending the school. If you would like to call in first, Ms. Gray is available to take your call, 7:30am – 4:30pm M-F, if you need assistance.
REMINDER: This year all students can be re-enrolled online.
While phone apps are convenient for most things – we recommend using a computer to complete your re-enrollment at San Tan Charter.
Please Log into your Parent Portal. Go to “More” and then “Online Registration.”
- Confirm existing students’ information
- Add any new siblings

Tax Credit Giving
San Tan Charter is well on its way of reaching our goal of $100,000.00. To continue with this gracious giving, please read below as there is still time to donate.
The form link is now open to donate:
https://yqysjrrxph.formstack.com/forms/?1627645-EuNcDzZTd2
With your support, we can continue to provide the programs outlined below:
- Junior High and High School Culinary Arts: Restaurant quality cutlery, pots/pans, additional shelving, and supplies for the classroom
- Full-Day Kindergarten Scholarship
- Funding for the Library/Media Space
- Health Care Supplies
- Playground Equipment
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.
