Heat Index Report
| Scottsdale Unified School District is committed to protecting the health and safety of our students and staff while providing and encouraging appropriate physical activities and opportunities during the school day. While it is important for children to exercise, we are mindful of the outside temperature and heat index. There are times that students’ activities may be altered due to the weather. We monitor daily the temperature, heat index, and air quality as we determine the level of outdoor activity for our students. If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse. |

Mandarin Chinese Program
Scottsdale Unified School District is proud and delighted to welcome our students and indeed, their families, to our first year of Mandarin Chinese. With this implementation we are embarking on an ambitious and exciting plan to offer languages deemed “critical” to America’s competitiveness in the 21st Century. SUSD is committed to preparing our students for the challenges and endless opportunities that lie before them. Our instructors are all long-time citizens of the United States with a vested, long-term interest in the success of the program and the success of your child.

School has been in session for a few weeks at Scottsdale Unified School District. During the first few days of school, District administrators were on campuses to help assist principals with morning arrival and afternoon dismissal of our students. Although there were some initial challenges, I am proud of how staff, students and parents worked together to get the 2010-11 school year off to a good start. see September Letter
