This is a friendly reminder that Sacaton Elementary School District will have early dismissal TODAY, Thursday, October 15, and TOMORROW, Friday, October 16, 2026, for Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Early Dismissal Times are:
Sacaton Elementary School: 1:00 PM
Sacaton Middle School: 1:30 PM
Parent-Teacher Conferences will begin immediately following student dismissal and continue until 4:00 PM on both days.
We encourage all parents and guardians to take advantage of this important opportunity to meet with teachers, discuss their child's academic progress, and work together to support student success.
Once again, please remember that students are expected to attend school tomorrow, even though it is a partial day. Regular attendance remains important, and every school day counts!
Please make the necessary arrangements for your child's early dismissal and transportation on both days.
If you have any questions, please contact your student's building principal.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education!
INTO THE FUTURE – THE FUTURE CHANGES WHEN WE DO!
