HAPPY Testing Tips for April - CLICK HERE to learn what to do to help your child be prepared for the upcoming AIMS and Terra Nova Tests!

Take Your Child to Work – After School is Out
Scottsdale Unified School District and other schools across the Valley encourage parents to take their children to the workplace for a learning experience – after school is out for the summer. Districts around the Valley are recommending June 19 as a preferred date for Take Your Child to Work Day.

The national date, April 24, comes at a particularly difficult time for students who are working hard to complete their school work for the year. Taking children to work after the school year ends allows them to learn from their visit to the workplace without missing a single precious day of school
