SPARTAN WEEKLY UPDATE

August 24, 2023

Handicap Parking Spaces

Handicap parking spaces are reserved for people with a handicap placard. Please do not park/wait in handicap spots unless you have the proper placard. Illegally parking in these spaces is preventing those who are truly in need of them. Thank you.

Picture Day is Thursday, August 31st for Grades 6 to 11

For our upcoming Picture Day on August 31st, students will need to wear a navy SPA polo for their portrait. Polos must have the Scottsdale Prep logo. If your student does not have a navy SPA polo, a loaner polo will be provided just prior to their photo being taken.

To help picture day run smoothly, we need volunteers to help from 7:30AM-1:30PM. Please review the available slots and sign up. Thank you!

Spartan Varsity Football

The Spartans will take on Hopi High School at NAU J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome (Flagstaff, AZ) tonight at 4:00PM. Go Spartans!

What's Happening Around the Campus

Stolen Items: All SPA students are assigned lockers with unique lock combinations. These lockers are a great place for students to store their belongings and valuables like cell phones. Any significant valuables that are not required for after school communication or for other school purposes should be left at home. To maintain the effectiveness of these lockers, students must not share their locker combinations with any other students (even friends) and must keep their lockers locked at all times. Students are also responsible for keeping their belongings on their person or behind locked locker or classroom doors.

Lost Items: We have three Lost and Found areas on campus: front office, upstairs across from the restrooms, and the MPR. Sometimes lost books/planners can be found outside of the Deans’ office, as well. Please encourage your children to look for any lost items in these areas!

Health and Safety

Hearing and Vision Screening is almost here

Nurse Warrington will be conducting hearing and vision screenings beginning Tuesday, September 5th. If your child wears glasses or contacts, please make sure they have them at school. The screenings will include all students in 7th and 9th grades as well as select other students. Students who do not pass their initial screening will be rescreened at a later date. The parents of students who do not pass a 2nd hearing and vision screening will be notified by the school nurse. Please notify the nurse if you would like your student to opt out of the screenings. We need volunteers to help this run smoothly. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0444a4ab2ca5f85-hearing2#/.

Immunization

All students need to have a complete immunization record on file. If Nurse Warrington has emailed you requesting additional information, please make sure you respond so your student can remain in compliance. If your student is turning 11 this year, make sure they receive their Meningococcal and Tdap vaccines at their wellness appointment.
