Dear Spartan Families,

Scottsdale Prep Theatre Arts Proudly Presents Music Man!

I had the distinct pleasure of stopping by final rehearsals for our all-school musical last night and to say it was a thing of beauty is a gross understatement. I saw dozens of students collaborating to accomplish complex tasks with independence and initiative. I overheard constructive criticism offered by peers and taken with humility and gratitude. I saw juniors and seniors shepherding 6th and 7th graders. Lights, sound, sets, costumes, blocking, stage direction was all in the capable hands of hardworking students under the caring and supportive guidance of just a few teachers. Our scholars are uniquely blessed with opportunities to develop their hearts and souls through the Fine Arts both in and beyond the classroom. These shows are a testament to the community we build here. We hope you will join us to witness the triumph that is The Music Man. Tickets can be purchased here for shows at 7PM tonight and tomorrow, as well as 2PM, Saturday.

Wishing you all a fall break filled with beauty and leisure!

Mark McAfee

Headmaster

Q1 Report Cards: PS Parent Portal Access

Report cards will be ready to view on the PS parent portal during the fall break.

• New Families: The PS Parent Portal login information was sent via email on 10/4. Please set up your account now to ensure that you can successfully login during the fall break.
• Returning Families: Please make sure that you have your username and password. Try logging in to make sure that the password works before the fall break.

If you are having a hard time accessing the parent portal, please email Mrs. Kim, rkim@scottsdaleprep.org before the fall break. The office will be closed during the fall break.

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.

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.
