Returning Families: Please make sure that you have your username and password.

Conference Week is October 16-20!

See the half day altered bell schedule for the week!

Missed the email for your student's conference details? Please contact Mr. Clement, tclement@scottsdaleprep.org.

This year all students have been scheduled for a fall conference, so none are scheduled over Barrett Jackson week. All conferences are student-led (they'll receive more instructions in Lit/Comp or HL) and are at assigned times so we can account for the scheduling challenges for each student's unique permutation of teachers. Due to scheduling limitations, we are unable to accommodate scheduling requests or reschedule due to a personal conflict or missed conference.

If you would prefer to opt out of a conference for your student, we kindly ask that you let us know so we can give that time back to the teachers. Should you or your student continue to have questions or concerns about their academic performance in a particular class, you are advised to reach out to that teacher directly via email.

The 23/24 Family Handbook: Action Required!

All parents must sign each of their student's Family Handbook. Click the link to sign: Great Hearts Enrollment Parent Portal. This is required of all families. For a copy of 23/24 Family Handbook, please click here. Must be completed by Friday, October 13, 2023.

When to Stay Home

If your student has missed school and wants to know what work they missed, they can review their teacher’s google sites here: https://scottsdaleprep.greatheartsamerica.org/family-resources/. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school healthy.
