WEST WING SCHOOL NEWS!!

AZMERIT TESTING:   Testing is underway for 3^rd – 8^th grades.   The testing for these grade levels will take the entire month of April to get through all the subjects.   During this time we ask that you refrain from taking vacations or scheduling doctor / dentist appointments if at all possible.  We will also be restricting parents or family members from being on campus for lunch.   We’re doing all we can to keep the distractions to a minimal.  Please make sure your child receives enough sleep and eats a good breakfast to help alleviate any testing jitters that are sure to be present.    Please visit the WW website for more detailed information.

FROM OUR CAFETERIA:

What’s Cooking?

At school, there’s always a meal ready to be served!

Some mornings, it’s tough to find the time to make sure your kids are eating a nutritious breakfast. On those days, why not send them to the School Breakfast Program? Each meal meets government nutritional guidelines and standards.  Schools are required to provide a breakfast meal that includes fruit, whole-grain rich items, and low fat or fat free milk. Check your child’s menu to see the variety of nutritious choices available at School Breakfast, or stop by to sample the food yourself!

2015 Deer Valley University:  … from boundaries to budget and more!   Now in its 12th year, Deer Valley University is a series of workshops for parents, community members, and staff in the Deer Valley Unified School District. Deer Valley University is intended to provide participants with a basic understanding of how the Deer Valley Unified School District works. A look at various departments within the district, along with the rules and regulations governing schools and districts, will be offered. You will learn about DVUSD from boundaries to budget and more!  You have two options for attending. Participants who register for and attend all five sessions will “graduate” from DVU. Participants may also elect to register for specific sessions that are of interest. Either way, we invite you to come and learn about your school district. This class will meet for five consecutive Thursdays in the Governing Board Room at the District Office from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. beginning April 9th.     How do I register?  Call  Carrie Finch at 623-445-5003 or email carrie.finch@dvusd.org.
