| Principal Message |  This is Student Led Conference week. Student/Parent/Teacher conferences are a wonderful opportunity for your child to highlight the work that they have been doing in each of their classes. I hope you are able to join us for this event. Please remember, it is our highest commitment to partner with parents in the education of their children. If you are not able to join us during conferences, please know that we are always available to meet with you regarding your child's progress. Please remember, that due to conferences, all students will be dismissed at 11:15 on Thursday and Friday. | | Student Led Conferences | | This is a time when your child will be able to show you what they are learning in each class. For some students, teachers have requested an individual conference to ensure your child finishes the school year successfully. For other students, we will have open times for you to visit the school and have your child facilitate their conference. Parents will receive information from their child's team with specific times to join us on campus for conferences. We look forward to seeing you! | | Special Presentation for Gifted and Talented Education Families | | The Marana Unified School District is pleased to host a FREE information session featuring Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY), which specializes in recognizing and developing students' academic talents.
This special CTY session provides students in 2nd through 8th grades and their families a chance to learn about CTY's programs, ask questions, and connect with other families of bright students. Qualifying for CTY means gaining access to summer and online courses, academic counselors, and family learning adventures. It means connecting with expert instructors and fellow students who share your interests. It means learning to take risks, make mistakes, think creatively, and grow confidently.
