Halloween Reminder

As we prepare for Halloween coming this Tuesday, I wanted to take the time to let our families know what it looks like here at San Tan. Halloween for San Tan is full of teaching and learning and we ask that NO costumes come to campus so that we can minimize the distractions of the day.

Please be safe with whatever your Thursday night might look like; one of the activities that they enjoy at the Sippel home is a visit from the Great Pumpkin. With five kiddos in their home, there is always an opportunity for many open pieces of candy and sick tummies to follow. However, the Great Pumpkin saves them from all of this, by taking all of the Halloween candy and replacing it with one present during the night.

Over the years we have had the great opportunity to partner with Robinson Orthodontics where they “buy back” all the candy donated to San Tan up to $500.00. They then send the candy to our Troops through the Packages from Home program.

 

Learning Celebration

Please park your cars in the parking lot, church, or the neighborhood, and pick up your child in their classrooms at your child’s designated pick up time

 

Learning Celebrations are a time honored tradition here at San Tan Charter School. They are a time for you to join your child in their classroom, to experience learning at its finest. All classrooms, projects, work samples are unique and your child will most likely lead most of the learning celebration and show you around their classroom. They are more than a display of student work rather a time for students to reflect on and articulate what they have learned, how they learned, questions they answered, research they conducted, what they loved, and what they didn’t.  The celebration provides powerful opportunities to make learning public for our students, a sense of pride in their accomplishments.  I hope you enjoy learning celebration as much as the kids, teachers, and administration do.
