Dear Braves,
With 2020 almost behind us, we look to the New Year for new opportunities. Sacaton Elementary will remain virtual through March 12, 2021, and our Braves will celebrate spring the following week. It is with great anticipation that the campus will reopen on March 22, 2021, but we continue to follow the guidance of CDC, ADE, and the GRIC COVID-19 task force to guide our future. While we remain virtual, all school expectations are still adhered to. Attendance matters, turn in your work for grades and complete all assessments.
We are supporting students with supply packets, learning carrels, and IT support. If you have something you need, please call the front office and let us know. We will try to support your request promptly.
We have used this time of isolation to do school improvement projects around the campus. We have put up new (accurate) directory signs, added more shelving and new books to our library, and established a Parent Engagement room. The Parent Engagement room has 3 computers and a printer for parent/guardian use. You can check Parent Vue for your children, research your interests, check email, or apply for a job online.
Our new Social Worker can provide support for families with things that are not school-related. If you need help knowing who to ask for help, call our front office. Our Social Worker, Ms. Byrd, would love to meet you and can guide you in the direction you need to go for assistance.
As a committed professional to education, my heart loves the whole child. With support and collaboration, we can change the life of a child. Let’s work together to stay healthy, safe, and nurture the well-being of all students, staff, and families.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wanda Burton, M.Ed
Principal
