Dear Recker Families,

Happy July 4th week! I hope this week is bringing you some relaxing time with friends and family. Included in the following will be important announcements and sign ups. I will be sending Laramie Letters out weekly. They can also be found on the San Tan Charter School Family Connection Facebook page as well as the San Tan Charter School Recker Campus Facebook page.

Along with the supply lists, we are introducing the Recker Academic Success Kit. This kit will be essential in improving academic success and organization across the campus. I have included a letter above explaining one of the key pieces, PBIS. I am so grateful to the community for supporting this initiative as we move forward.

– Mrs. Sarah Laramie, Principal

School Supply Lists
I have attached our school supply lists so that you can get a jump on back to school shopping. The supply lists are listed by grade level and experience.

Recker Academic Success Kit
This next year, we are asking families for $15 per child to purchase our “Success Kit”. In the success kit, will be the following items.

  1. School Agenda- School Agendas have long been the go-to method of teaching students responsibility and ownership of their learning. We have determined that, for the agendas to become an effective time and task management tool for the classroom, every student will need one.
  2. School Communication Folder- Families are a powerful influence on children’s academic development. When family members are involved in student work, students’ self-esteem, interest, and language skills improve. To keep families up to speed, it’s crucial to establish a consistent method of communication between home and school. A weekly folder is a perfect method on ensuring active communication because it becomes part of the routine, and parents know to look for it each week.
  3. PBIS Rewards – Please see the attached letter. PBIS Rewards System, including your parental access codes.
  4. Data Tracking Kit- Teachers at San Tan use formative and summative data to inform their instruction. Looking at the data helps the teachers understand the individual needs of each student and how to meet those needs. Typically, this data is only looked at by the teachers. However, research has shown that when students themselves identify, reflect, and use their data in their learning, they become active participants in their academic growth. Through our Data Tracking Kit, teachers will be training students how to graph, analyze, and set goals for their learning.

We will be taking payments with the following link: https://yqysjrrxph.formstack.com/forms/rask

Please fill out one form per student: The goal would be for all to have purchased this by August 1st.
