Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.

SUSD Offers Self Contained Gifted Program Tours
Are you looking for an engaging and challenging program for your gifted student? Scottsdale Unified School District’s (SUSD) Comprehensive (Self-Contained) Gifted Program offers a complete gifted curriculum and is designed for students who have the extraordinary academic needs, abilities and intellectual potential found in the top three percent of the population.
Attendance Policy
Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) is committed to regular attendance as the key to much of the success a student may gain from his/her educational program. It is the responsibility of the school to keep parents/guardians informed of actions that might have a detrimental effect upon the educational growth of individual students.
In compliance with state and local laws, policies, and procedures, please be aware of SUSD’s attendance policies (policies can be viewed at this link). Specifically, Arizona state law says that it is unlawful for any child between the ages of six and sixteen to fail to attend school during the hours school is in session, unless exempt due to extenuating circumstances as outlined in A.R.S. 15-802, 15-803. Please help your child get to school each day and make sure that all absences are called in (480-484-4600) prior to the start of school, otherwise please expect to get an automated call reporting your child(ren) absence.
