Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.
Annual Parent Survey
Scottsdale Unified School District parents are encouraged to provide input about our schools in the online Annual Parent Survey. The electronic survey will be available beginning Friday, January 20 through February 10. Parents are invited to complete the survey once for each student enrolled. Parents who do not have Internet access may use the school’s computer lab. Access the survey from the District Web site or your child’s school Web site beginning January 20. Your responses will help us make SUSD even better!

NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON
“The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program Recognizing Excellent American Schools “
Since 1982, the Blue Ribbon award has been given to schools where students attain and maintain very high levels of academic achievement. Thanks to the efforts of Pima’s entire fantastic faculty, staff, students, PTO, and especially those of Pima’s former principal, Sheryl Rednor, Pima has succeeded in reaching such goals. The National Blue Ribbon presentation will take place in November in Washington, D.C., where assistant principal Veda Sinsabaugh and teacher Carol Gordon will join Ms. Rednor in accepting the award on behalf of the entire Pima community. Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard to help Pima Elementary School win such a prestigious award. Let’s keep up the great work!
TRIBUTE TO MS. DANIELLE BRODY

SPEAK UP
Speak Up National Research Project Survey
Scottsdale Unified School District encourages our parents and community members to participate in the Speak Up National Research Project survey at http://www.speakup4schools.org/speakup2011.
The Speak Up National Research Project, collects and reports the views of K-12 students, teachers, administrators and parents on the use of technology for learning. Since 2003, over 2.2 million students, educators and parents have shared their views through the Speak Up surveys, and these important stakeholder ideas influence local, state and federal policies and programs every year. When schools and districts participate in Speak Up, they gain insight into:
How students are using technology for learning in and out of school. The issues you deem important regarding your child(ren)’s education and use of technology to learn. How teachers use technology for teaching as well as for their own professional activities.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) is committed to regular attendance as the key to much of the success a student may gain from his/her educational program. It is the responsibility of the school to keep parents/guardians informed of actions that might have a detrimental effect upon the educational growth of individual students.
In compliance with state and local laws, policies, and procedures, please be aware of SUSD’s attendance policies (policies can be viewed at this link). Specifically, Arizona state law says that it is unlawful for any child between the ages of six and sixteen to fail to attend school during the hours school is in session, unless exempt due to extenuating circumstances as outlined in A.R.S. 15-802, 15-803.
Please help your child get to school each day and make sure that all absences are called in (480-484-7002 or 7003) prior to the start of school, otherwise please expect to get an automated call reporting your child(ren) absence.
Thank you, in advance, for helping us to preserve the learning environment at Pima Elementary School.

KEEP THE ARTS IN SCHOOL
This wonderful sculpture was created by our very own art teacher, Ms. Vredevoogd. It is a reminder of how much the arts are important to all of us; especially our children many of whom would lose touch of their creative minds without being exposed to the arts in school.
The Outstanding Fine Arts Teacher Award!
