District Announcements
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.
Bond Program Road Show

Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) is hosting a 2010 Bond Program Road Show at each complex to provide factual information to the community about the upcoming bond initiative. Each meetings will include a presentation from Superintendent Dr. Gary T. Catalani and Dr. David Peterson, assistant superintendent of facilities and operations, followed by a Q&A session for the public. SUSD Administrators will also be present. See Road Show Dates
Superintendent Dr. Gary T. Catalani's September Letter

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

BOND PROGRAM 2010 INFORMATION

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

What is the purpose of the bond election?
The 2010 Bond Program would rebuild four middle schools and make necessary mechanical and electrical upgrades and renovations to nine elementary and middle school sites.  These renovations will save Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) $410,000 in operating costs annually and provide our children with safe, modern learning environments.

This is the second of three phases of construction. The first phase was high schools, and elementary schools will be the final phase. The elementary school phase will be carefully reviewed for school utilization and neighborhood impact.

    The amount of the bond is $118 million

    This bond is projected to not raise the tax rate
