Good morning, school will be in session at all sites today Nov 20th. Transportation will be operating as usual. Please disregard any fake postings or letters that may be circulating. Thank you and we look forward to seeing your students on campus.

Good afternoon, in collaboration with Maricopa County Flood and the National Weather Service we will be cancelling school for TVHS, RFMS, and WWES tomorrow November 19th. This will include all student services, the district office, and transportation department. TES and DSES are not being impacted by flooding and will continue to have their regular schedule. However, no transportation will be provided. Please plan accordingly. Thank you

Good afternoon, there will not be Preschool at RFMS or TVHS. All student services have been canceled for the day due to weather and transportation safety concerns.

With current weather situations there will not be buses provided for PM Preschool. Parents are still able to transport their students to school if able to do so. Thank you

Good morning,
With recent weather and safety conditions we are releasing all students that ride the Light Purple and Deep Purple bus routes. Students will be picked up from TES and DSES and brought to their normal stops immediately.
All other students will remain for their regular schedule class time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Per Maricopa Country Sheriff's Office school has been cancelled for TVHs, RFMS, and WWES. Other schools will resume normal operating hours. Please be safe if you are in a flooded area.

Good morning, We are currently experiencing flooding in some areas. TVHS, RFMS, and WWES are currently being delayed by 2 hours. All other schools will be operating at their normal time. We will send further communication soon. Thank you

Huge congratulations to Ms. Anthony from Winters' Well Elementary and Mr. Unabia from Desert Sunset School for completing the rigorous Northern Arizona University's Institute for Native-Serving Educators (INE) program!

Since before April, these dedicated educators have been deepening their knowledge of cultural differences to better support our Native American students. They concluded the program by presenting their student-focused projects with slide shows and poster sessions.

Thank you, Ms. Anthony and Mr. Unabia, for investing in cultural understanding and making our classrooms stronger!

Good morning, construction on I10 may cause transportation delays. Please be patient as we transport students safely to school. Thank you.
