Hello Power Campus!
Here we are—the last edition of the Tauscher Times in 2021… Thank you for those families over the holidays who re-enrolled for next school year and helped with the Arizona Tax Credit donations for our schools. We have spent time over the holidays checking in with families about re-enrollment and have made some nice upgrades to the facilities over the break. We look forward to welcoming back our students on Monday, Jan. 3.
Please mark on your calendars our Winter Parent-Teacher Conferences happening on Tuesday and Wednesday once we return.
