Tauscher Times 2.15.22
Hello Power Campus!
Over the next two weeks San Tan Charter School is testing students for giftedness and just last week we were sponsors of the annual conference for the Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented students. Our school maintains a great reputation in the gifted community here in Arizona and has been a premiere destination for gifted students and families in the East Valley through our self-contained gifted classrooms in the elementary and our JH Scholars Prep courses and AP/Honors and Dual Enrollment and electives at the Power campus.
Reminder this Monday, Feb. 21, there will be no school in recognition of President’s Day.
We have exciting news to share in that our high school varsity boys basketball team made it to the Arizona Interscholastic Activities (AIA) 2A State Basketball tournament. Coach Crooms’ team finished with the #7 ranking and plays the #10-ranked team in first round action this Friday in the Prescott area. Locations and game time for tournament games have not yet been announced, but you can follow our athletics Instagram or Twitter account @stcs_athletics for the latest breaking news and information about the state tournament.
Many classes are nearing capacity for next year as we have opened enrollment for new students. DO NOT LOSE your opportunity to re-enroll by being placed on a waiting list! If you are planning on re-enrolling, please do so immediately!
