It is my pleasure as superintendent to welcome parents and students back to Sacaton Elementary School District #18. We are looking forward to seeing you back at Sacaton Elementary School this coming year. The first day back to school is Friday, July 25, 2025.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all students, Sacaton Elementary School District has implemented a dual bus schedule starting this school year. This means that elementary and middle school students will ride separate buses. In turn, each school will operate on a half-hour staggered daily schedule. Please see the attached “Transportation and Schedule Changes.” Elementary students (Grades K-4) will get picked up and dropped off at approximately the same time as in previous years, but the Middle School students (Grades 5-8) will get picked up a half-hour later and dropped off a half-hour later than in previous years. The first day of school is on Friday, July 25, 2025 and will have early dismissal here are the dismissal times:
Grades K- 4: Elementary: 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Grades 5-8: Middle School: 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Once again, there is a half-hour difference in the Elementary and Middle School Bus Schedule. The Elementary will ride the early bus that will be arriving at your stop at approximately the same time as last year. A second route will come back and pick up middle school students approximately a half hour later than the elementary school pick up. Transportation Director Lisa Pauli-Lake has sent each household a pick-up and drop-off schedule. If you have any questions, please contact the Director at (520) 562-8600.
Parents dropping students off, may drop off their elementary students first and then the middle school students. Students arriving earlier due to drop off will be directed to the middle school cafeteria for extended study time until buses arrive.
In addition, we would like to invite you and your child to meet their teachers and administrators for this coming school year on Thursday, July 24, 2025 starting at 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM at their school.
See you on Thursday, July 24 at 4:00 PM.
