Traffic/Desert Ridge/STAR/No School

At the request through School Council, I am pleased to report that the City of Phoenix has done an evaluation of our current pick up/drop off procedures at Desert Trails. The findings/results were very positive, and the procedures in place are safe and efficient. A suggestion to relieve the amount of cars that we do manage on a daily basis, could be to launch a NEIGHBORHOOD WALKING PROGRAM.
The City of Phoenix will come back to Desert Trails to assist in creating a safe walking route, and share ideas on making this program a success. This will take parent volunteers to coordinate and run. If anyone is interested, please contact the office!!!

Desert Ridge will be hosting Paradise Valley Schools this Saturday. Stop in and see all the great things happening in our District!

Star Citizens will be joining Mrs. Lee for lunch at Desert Ridge' Mimi's Cafe this Friday! These STAR students are "caught" making good choices, demonstrating acts of kindness or lots of other excellent qualities we stress at Desert Trails.
September Students are: Kinder-Ava R./1st-Chaz G./2nd-Isyss C./3rd-Manessah H./4th-Jansen M./5th-Noah P./6th-Bryce H. CONGRATULATIONS STARS!

Reminder: Thursday, Sept. 29 & Friday, Sept. 30 are NO SCHOOL K-12 Recess Days! Enjoy!
