In a snip and a snap it is behind us! 2009-2010 school year has come to a close.
This last week we do have a few events remaining that we would like to share with you.
Please join us, on Monday, at 9:30, we will have a play Tomato Plant Girl that deals with bullying,on Tuesday, at 9:30 5th grade will perform Spirit of America play, along with all of the classroom parties!!! Also, please find Dr. James P. Lee's end of the year letter.
I have posted the link above.
Thursday is a half day, students are dismissed at 12:30.
Our classroom placements will be completed this week and I want to thank parents for sending in the Parent Input Form. I appreciate your taking the time to work with us regarding placement next year.
School Council will be hosting a booth at the annual PTO Ice Cream Social on August 12, 3:00-5:00. They have plenty information to share with you. They also will be recruiting a new parent member for the 2010-2011 school year. Be sure to stop by the School Council booth for more information.
2010-2011 First Grade Parents: please stay in close contact with this blog over the summer. Should any changes occur in our being able to increase our current 3 classrooms to 4 classrooms, I want you to be the first to know!!! I am doing all I can to make that happen.
NEW CLASS: Desert Trails will now offer a Core Knowledge Pre-K class for your 3 year old!! That's right, 3 years old!!! Contact Community Ed. if you are interested in having your child attend.
Direction for 2010-2011: Get the scoop here--- next year Desert Trails will host several forums to discuss and dream what we will be offering our students through the world of technology. We are currently brainstorming a signature program focused on Technology & 21 Century Skills.
Does Desert Trails the Digital Learning Center have a nice ring? We think so, but we want to hear from you. Be looking for those forums so you can join in the grass roots effort to launch a high tech program for all of our students at Desert Trails!!!

Obtaining AIMS Results
2010 AIMS/SAT 10 INDIVIDUAL STUDENT RESULTS
The only state AIMS/SAT 10 individual student test results that will be mailed home this summer will be Grade 10 Spring AIMS Math/Science and Grade 11 Spring AIMS Math results. Those scores will arrive at student households in early July.
All other state test results are arriving late this year due to a changed scoring and standard setting process for the new math standards that were tested in April.
Because of the later delivery to districts, AIMS/SAT 10 test results for Grades 2 through 9 will be sent home with students when they return to school in August. If parents would like their student copy earlier, they will need to contact the school office after it opens in July to request early availability of an individual student result.
High school offices will be available beginning July 21st for parent calls regarding AIMS/SAT 10 individual student results. Elementary and Middle school offices open to the public on Monday, July 26 for parent inquiries regarding individual student state test results.

Make a Difference
May 4-5-6, will be very special days in the PVUSD!
Students, Staff, and the Community will be able to work together to help support the Foundation of Public Education. Did you know the Foundation has invested over $350,000 in grants and services benefiting the 34,000 students in the Paradise Valley School District? This year the Foundation's goal is for every Student and Staff member to contribute $1.00 to help support the HANDS ON SCIENCE CENTER, CREST, and the COLLEGE and CAREER CENTERS. These programs reach all K-12 students.
At Desert Trails we have added a "twist" to make these 3 days extra fun! On Tuesday, students can bring in $1.00 and wear their slippers all day (with the exception of P.E.).
On Wednesday, students can bring in a $1.00 and wear their hat all day-inside & outside!
Thursday is the culminating day, and students can bring in $1.00 and they will receive a 20 minute fun filled recess!!! At our pep-rally this past Friday, students were really excited about these fun options! A container will be in the office if parents would like to contribute to support these wonderful programs in P.V.
Also, for our community members, the Foundation offers a CHANGE MATCHER. Please see the above links I have provided for more information! Thank you for your support!
