GENERAL INFORMATION
Check the school website for more in depth information.
Reminder for all staff and students-There are no drinks other than water allowed in classrooms or the Library at any time.
Students please be aware of the city of Phoenix's parking policies for our surrounding community neighborhoods. We have been notified by Safeway Shopping Center Management, as well as Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office that O’Connor students parking in the business parking spaces can and will be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.
Also REMINDER there is NO PARKING allowed on the north curb of Hackamore in the student loading zone. All violators will be ticketed without warning sticker.
Please obey all posted signage.
Not obeying posted signage will result in your car being ticketed or towed at your expense.
If your car is towed see someone in security or conduct.
Students riding bicycles and skateboards on campus will need to use the sidewalks in a responsible manner, and not ride on the driveway entering the campus. It is a safety issue with vehicle traffic.
Reminder: Students and Parents
The front desk will not accept personal items such as IPads, cell phones, money or lunches. There are also no deliveries allowed for students such as balloons, flowers, food or gifts of any kind.

Students-
Many students with iPad problems have lost everything because they didn't save files. Don't let this happen to you! Please take time to save important files on your iPad. Save to an Adobe account, Google Drive, or simply email files to yourself. If you need help, check out the LMC website or stop by the library and see Mrs. Salameh.
Pink Emergency Contact Information Form
Our Registrar needs your help. At the beginning of the school year all students received a pink Emergency Contact Information Form. In the event of an emergency this form has vital information that may be needed. If you have not had your parents fill out the form, sign it and returned it to the front office, please do so now. If you need another one, the front office can help you get another copy.
Your help with this is greatly appreciated, Thank You!
Bookstore
The Bookstore ID Machine is back! Students, if you need an ID or have a change to your current ID, please visit the Bookstore before school, after school, or at lunch.
Students, please do not visit the bookstore during class unless you need textbooks, have Ipad issues, or have club/sport business to take care of.
If you have payments, purchases to be made, or need an ID, please visit us before school, after school, or at lunch. If you come down during class for these items we will turn you away.
Who can make an Individual Tax Credit to Public Schools?
The Arizona tax credit program (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows a tax credit of up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples, filing jointly, in support of extracurricular activities.
When do payments have to be received to be eligible for the 2016 Tax Year?
Payments received from January 1, 2016, to April 15, 2017, are eligible to be claimed as an Individual Extracurricular Activity Tax Credit. We will date receipts for payments postmarked December 31, 2016, with a December 31, 2016 receipt date. Individual Extracurricular Activity Tax Credit donations made between January 1, 2017, and April 15, 2017, can be applied to a taxpayer's 2016 or 2017 tax obligation. Any decisions regarding which year to apply a credit toward are the responsibility of the taxpayer and can be made in conjunction with their tax preparer.

“Say Something”
There is a collective benefit of reporting or informing adults about any potential unsafe activity so that students get to attend the kind of school they want to attend, a school where the climate is friendly, warm, respectful and supportive. Individually and collectively, we can play an essential role in helping to maintain safety and can make a dramatic difference in preserving such a climate at Sandra Day O'Connor High School. With a hotline in place, information can be reported anonymously by students, parents, or community members without fear or reprisal. If you see something, say something by telling a staff member or dial 623-445-7137.
