Upcoming events.
Sex Ed Course
We team with AZYP (Arizona Youth Partnership) to provide sexual education to students in grades 7-12. This is an OPTIONAL program that parents can sign their student up for. It will take place every Wednesday until May. We have had this program in our school for the last 3 years and each year the students learn something new. We are sending home a permission slip for those that want to participate. Depending on the number of students that do end up participating, we will let everyone know if there will be regular school on these days as well. Of you would like to read the curriculum, I do have the available too.
Don’t be afraid to reach out if you have any questions!
Picture Day
Richard Doxtader will be coming in to take pictures again for school. These will be the pictures that we use for yearbooks, so it is very important. We will send home a page for packages/prices on March 27th.
KUSD Board Meeting
Ms. Cathy will be attending the board meeting to revisit the issue of having our students participate in sports with KUSD. I encourage all parents to bring their students and attend the board team meeting with her. This is NOT mandatory, but a request. If you have a school shirt, please wear it.
Friday School
Morning classes will attend from 8:00AM-10:30AM. Afternoon class will attend 10:30AM-1:00PM. If your student is behind, this is a great opportunity to catch up. Reports cards will be sent home the day before, so any work done will count towards the fourth quarter. But this is a great way to start the fourth quarter on track.
Spring Break
The school will be closed during this time. We will have workers here and have people in and out; but please call the school phone for an appointment if you need one (928-488-1769).
McDonald Walk
Students will walk from the school down to the McDonald’s on Andy Devine. This is a total of 3.6 miles round trip. We will purchase one ice cream cone/cup for each student and walk back to the school. Students need to wear their school shirts. Any student not wearing a school shirt at drop off will be asked to go home. You can purchase school shirts at the school for $25. Report cards will go home this day.
Back to School Night (7-12)
This is for parents to attend to hear about what will be happening at The Marvelous Microschool during Semester 2. We will have representatives from our therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, Parent Teacher Association (PTA), the Mason’s Lodge, etc available to talk with parents. I truly encourage at least one parent/guardian to participate!
As always, if you have any questions, please let us know! Thank you!

Death March
This activity is for grades 7-12. During the second year of our school, we participated in a 9.5 mile hike through the Arizona Hot Springs and along the Colorado River. The students lovingly named this adventure “The Death March”. Since then, we have offered the opportunity to go on this hike every year. Some could even say that completing it is a necessity for graduating high school. It provides the students the opportunity to look at a challenge and overcome it. We encourage every student in the appropriate grades to participate! Please let Ms. Cathy know if your student will be participating.
