District Announcements
Heat Index Report
| Scottsdale Unified School District is committed to protecting the health and safety of our students and staff while providing and encouraging appropriate physical activities and opportunities during the school day. While it is important for children to exercise, we are mindful of the outside temperature and heat index. There are times that students’ activities may be altered due to the weather. We monitor daily the temperature, heat index, and air quality as we determine the level of outdoor activity for our students. If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse. |

Catalani and Dr. David Peterson, assistant superintendent of facilities and operations, followed by a Q&A session for the public. SUSD Administrators will also be present. See Road Show Dates
Superintendent Dr. Gary T. Catalani's September Letter
School has been in session for a few weeks at Scottsdale Unified School District. During the first few days of school, District administrators were on campuses to help assist principals with morning arrival and afternoon dismissal of our students. Although there were some initial challenges, I am proud of how staff, students and parents worked together to get the 2010-11 school year off to a good start. see September Letter

LAGUNA NAMED A+ SCHOOL!
Laguna Elementary School has the distinction of being named a 2010 A+ School of Excellence by the Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF). A+ Schools are evaluated through an extensive application and rigorous site visit by the AEF A+ review panel consisting of teachers, administrators, community volunteers and business leaders. Preparation of each school's application involves its students, faculty, administration and surrounding community.
“We are honored that our school has received this distinction. It serves as an incentive for each of us to accomplish even more,” said Dr. Katie Root, principal.
The A+ School Recognition Program is designed to identify and recognize schools that exemplify excellence in student focus and support, active teaching and learning, curriculum, community/parent involvement, leadership and assessment data. Schools retain their A+ designation for a three-year period after which they may reapply.
This is the second time that the school is being honored with this award. Laguna received the honor in 2003.
“This award shows that the sustained efforts made by Laguna students, parents, faculty and staff have been recognized as exemplary,” said Superintendent Dr. Gary T. Catalani.
