Cox Connection 3.24.26

Dear Roadrunner,

It was so great watching all the students return to campus yesterday! It was too quiet without them around here.

Today officially kicks off our testing season here at San Tan! Our 5th and 8th graders rocked it on AzSci today.

We have our Rising Kinder event for our new Kinders for 26-27 coming up this Friday, and it’s hard to believe that Easter Break is next week. If you have a Kinder or 8th grader, please see below for details regarding Graduation Photos.

Have a great week Roadrunners!
