    If your child will be five years of age between September 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 you may consider having your child tested to see if he/she will qualify for early entrance kindergarten. We currently are accepting applications for early entrance. There is a fee of $45.00 to cover the assessment. This can be done at the District Office through the Community Education Department at 2935 South Recker Road in Gilbert. The assessments begin in June and will conclude prior to the first day of school. Students who qualify for early entrance through the assessment may then enroll.

    Enrollment for the 2012 - 2013 school year takes place at our K-8 schools. Please visit your home school to enroll your child. If you live outside the district boundaries, please call (480) 279.7000 so that we can help you with your selection of schools. Enrollment packets and school boundary information can be found here.

  • San Tan's Art Masterpiece Program
     
    We are in need of an Art Masterpiece volunteer for each classroom. The program starts in October, as there are lessons for 6 months.
     
    What is Art Masterpiece?
    Art Masterpiece is a national art enrichment program that uses reproductions of fine works of art to promote art literacy in elementary school age children. It is entirely dependant upon volunteer "Art Guides" at each elementary school to present a lesson planned for a particular grade level. Lessons are taught on a monthly basis, usually six per school year. They last from 30 minutes to one hour and include a "hands on" art activity. The purpose is not to teach specific art/craft techniques, but rather to increase the child's awareness of art. Elements of art and principles of design are introduced in fun ways that the children can easily grasp. The volunteer Art Guides do not have to have a background in art.
     
    There will be a short training meeting for parents that are new to the program or anyone that has any questions. Meeting will be Tuesday, September 20th at 9:00 a.m. Please meet in the staff workroom. If there are any questions, please contact Trisha O'Rourke at 480.577.3186.
