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. |
Bond Program Road Show
Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) is hosting a 2010 Bond Program Road Show at each complex to provide factual information to the community about the upcoming bond initiative. Each meetings will include a presentation from Superintendent Dr. Gary T. 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
Mandarin Chinese Program
Scottsdale Unified School District is proud and delighted to welcome our students and indeed, their families, to our first year of Mandarin Chinese. With this implementation we are embarking on an ambitious and exciting plan to offer languages deemed “critical” to America’s competitiveness in the 21st Century. SUSD is committed to preparing our students for the challenges and endless opportunities that lie before them. Our instructors are all long-time citizens of the United States with a vested, long-term interest in the success of the program and the success of your child.

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

Tax Credit Donation Now Online
Did you know state law (A.R.S 43-1089.01) allows you to a tax credit when you pay up to $200.00 for single filers/$400.00 married filers to a public school for extracurricular activities that require an enrolled student to pay a fee? This means taxpayers may help COCOPAH-not the state treasury-and reduce their state tax bill at the same time. Dollar for dollar-this costs you nothing!
As we head into the tax credit season we want to let you know there is a new on line payment program this year. Payments can be made on line by going to the SUSD web site or the following URL https://touchbase.susd.org/touchbase/. You can log in by entering your students’ ID number for the log in and last name for the password or you can enter as a guest. To make a donation click on School Shop and select the program to make your donation. There are product categories for tax credits at each site so you can click on the product category to see a list of tax credit programs specific to Cocopah or you can scroll through the tax credit programs at all sites. Once you have found the program to donate to you add that product to cart and enter in the amount you wish to donate. We have also added comment fields so community members can specify donations to specific students if paying for a specific trip or activity.
