If a change in bus transportation is requested, the student must bring a note from a parent, to be signed by the principal.

We are committed to providing a safe learning environment where students thrive. We also want to families to feel welcome when visiting their child during the school day. To help us keep students safe, we ask that if you are volunteering or visiting a classroom to please make arrangements 24 hours prior with your student's teacher. Teachers will then notify the office of your visit. We want to ensure that all visitors to campus are expected for both safety and health mitigation.

All food items, including treats provided by parents to students for birthday celebrations and other special occasions, if served during the school day must meet ADE Smart Snack Nutrition Standards. We encourage store bought/packaged treats to meet county health regulations. More information about Smart Snacks can be found on the ADE Website.

Parent drop off and pick up is located in the north parking lot. There are two lanes, the north lane for entering the lot and the south lane will exit. Cars enter the parking lot and will proceed forward to the end of the lot where you will make a turn to then head out. It is in this south lane that students will be helped out of or into cars. Parent Drop Off Begins at 8:20. There is no supervision before the 8:20 drop off time. It is unsafe to drop and leave students before supervision arrives.

To try to help speed up the process, we assign a number to each family. This number is used to call all of your students to the pick up area. You can get a number at anytime. Once given the number, you will tell the teacher helping at pick up. They will radio ahead so your students will hopefully be waiting for you as you get closer to the pick up area.

Students cannot be dropped off at the front entrance, which is the Bus Entrance Area between 8:10 am and 9:00 am, picked up at this area between 3:00 pm and 3:50 pm, or on Friday dismissal 12:10 pm and 1:10 pm. This is in accordance with AZ State regulations regarding School Bus areas. FACTS students may be picked up here outside of these times.
