The 2010-11 school year will commence on August 9th. It’s important that children are in school, because learning begins on the very first day of instruction. Scottsdale Unified teachers come to class each day prepared to teach all students, and these lessons are learned best when children are in class! Remember 08-09-10 – Learning Is Fun! Be Here On Day One!Artwork by Jacob Tobey, Arcadia High School student, and slogan by Max Campodall'Orto, Kiva Elementary School student.
