Letter from the Principal

Dear San Tan Families,

MAP testing is complete. I am so proud of all of our students and the progress that they have made throughout the semester. We are well on our way to progressing in meeting our school-wide goal of 70% of all students meeting or exceeding national grade-level norms for math and reading.

Thank you to all our Roadrunner families doing their part. Individualized MAP scores will be available at parent-teacher conferences. If your students are not yet meeting, don’t worry! We have a plan to help them succeed after break with focused time in the classroom and with our FREE tutoring services starting back up in January. We are confident that by working together, we will help our students feel success while reaching our goal.

– Mrs. Sarah Laramie
