Welcome to Sacaton Elementary School.
I am so excited you chose to attend school at Sacaton Elementary. We are Two Schools, One Voice. Home of the Braves. YES! Our school has Braves starting at 3 years of age up to 4th grade. Sacaton offers uniform curriculum across all grades with Wonders for reading and Go Math. Opportunities to supplement all teacher instruction is provided with one to one technology support, myON reading books (a virtual library available 24/7 to all students), Thinking Maps to help students organize their thinking, and Write From the Beginning for developing language. All SESD buses offer WiFi to students while riding the bus to and from school.
Sacaton Elementary offers after school tutoring programs, summer school, and many clubs and activities to support student interests throughout the year. Girl Scouts, Coding, Science club, Choir, 4-H Jr. Master Gardening, First Lego League, Art, and Boy Scouts are some, but not all of the opportunities that are established.
During school, special class teachers support students with technology learning of apps and hardware, PE, music, library, coding, agriculture, and Pima Culture. Classroom instruction includes reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The school counselor provides learning in social behaviors and support for social norms. The Response to Intervention Specialist also supports social behaviors and academic gaps in content standards.
It is the goal of Sacaton Elementary to strengthen a collaborative environment to support every child as the whole child. An on campus Social Worker works collaboratively with the school counselor and SRO to develop a comprehensive wrap around service for students at risk or in need.
After the COVID-19 era, we look forward to having all students back safe and engaged, ready to continue the journey of higher learning and achievement.
