Dear Roadrunner,

State testing is officially underway! A big congratulations to all of our 5th and 8th graders who completed AzSci last week. AASA Writing is underway this week already, with our 4th and 5th graders completing it yesterday. For the full state testing calendar, please see below.

It is San Tan Charter School’s birthday this Thursday! We are celebrating San Tan turning 20 years old, and welcome our students to rock green and yellow to celebrate. A big thanks to Student Council for organizing some fun for morning recess that day. Twenty years of impact – congrats San Tan!

We have a half-day coming up this Thursday, and we are closed on Friday this week for Easter Break. If you need to sign-up for half-day camp, please see below.

Have a great rest of your week, Roadrunners!
