Track your reading minutes online or use your “Dig into Reading” log. Pick up your prizes at the library. Finish the program, and you’ll win a book and a free meal at Chipotle!

Don’t forget to tell your parents, because the Scottsdale Libraries have reading programs for babies, kids, teens and adults. Summer reading is for everyone.
Successmaker
Morning and afternoon SuccessMaker lab has ended for that rest of the school year.
This doesn’t mean you can’t do SuccessMaker at home.
Follow the link below to do SuccessMaker at home.
ATTENTION PARENTS
We are having increasing numbers of students being dropped off too early each morning.
The school campus does not open until 8:20 a.m. Please do not bring your child before this time. If your child attends SuccessMaker Lab on Tuesdays and Thursdays, please do not drop them off until 8:00 a.m. During the early morning, the office staff is preparing for the school day and cannot guarantee supervision of these students. Please be courteous and adhere to these guidelines. If you need before school care we do offer Kids Club from 6:30 a.m. until 8:20 a.m. Information on this program is available at www.susd.org or by calling (480) 484-7900.
Important Dress Code change
As of March 18th, our dress code has changed. We will no longer allow opened-toed shoes for our students as footwear. All students must wear closed-toed shoes.
This change was first discussed during our quarterly School Safety Committee. The nurse provided information that as the weather gets warmer, and students wear opened-toed shoes, the number of toe and foot injuries increase dramatically. This information was given to our Site Counsel and they agreed that we should ban footwear like flip-flops. Since all students participate in physical activities every days during recess, we recommend athletic shoes with a good arch be worn daily.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION FOR THE 2013-14 SCHOOL YEAR

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
The preferred registration period for in-boundary kindergarten students for 2013-14 is now open and will run until January 31st. The enrollment office will be accepting ONLY kindergarten registrations at this time and ask that all interested parents register their kindergarteners during this time frame to help alleviate some of the backlog experienced in past years. **Current in-boundary Pre-K students will not automatically roll up into Kindergarten. Parents must complete the enrollment process. Current Pre-K’s that do not reside within Kiva’s boundary must first complete the open enrollment process.**
Open enrolled kindergarten students can be registered once an acceptance has been received in mid-February. Requests for priority open enrollment for kindergarten are also due Jan. 15th.
