Weekly Updates 3/2/26

Can you believe we are already heading into March? The school year is flying by, and we have so many exciting things planned to make these final months memorable for our students. Here are a few important updates for the coming weeks: 

PTO Meeting: Let’s Plan the Fun! 

We would love to see you at our next PTO meeting on Tuesday, March 3rd at 4:15 PM in the Media Center. We’ll be focusing on planning our end-of-year activities—it’s a great chance to share your ideas and help us make the finish line extra special for the kids! 

Get Ready for Field Day! 

It’s time to lace up those sneakers! Our Field Days are just around the corner, and we can’t wait to see our students show off their team spirit and energy. Please note the schedule below: 

• This Friday, March 6th (Morning): Grades 4–5

Support Our Students: Arizona Tax Credit 

Did you know you can support our school’s clubs and activities without it costing you a dime? It’s not too late to make your Arizona Public School Tax Credit donation! The Arizona Tax Credit is a wonderful "dollar-for-dollar" credit. This means that when you contribute to our school, the state reduces your tax bill by that exact amount. For example, if you owe $400 in state taxes and donate $400 to the school, you now owe $0! 

How your donation helps:  These funds are specifically used to keep our after-school clubs, sports, tutoring, and enrichment activities running. For the 2025-2026 tax year, you can contribute up to $200 (filing single) or $400 (married filing jointly). You have until April 15th to make a donation that counts toward your 2025 taxes! 

Festival of the Arts 

This Saturday, March 7, 2026, we invite you to attend the Dysart Festival of the Arts presented by Germain Honda of Surprise  held at Valley Vista High School from 10am-2pm.   This festival will consist of over 100 performances from all elementary and high school band, choir, theater, and dance programs along with a beautiful Art Showcase.   In addition to all the performances and shows, there will be an Arts and Crafts fair with over 50 vendors from throughout the community and another 10 food trucks.  Lastly, we hope you will visit the gym for our Arts Experience.  The Arts Experience includes a multitude of hands-on experiences in all arts disciplines for any one of any age to try.   This is a free family-friendly event that is open to the public.   For more information or a detailed schedule of performances, please go to dysart.org/artsfest.    

Please come spend your day celebrating and experiencing the arts with us. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our school community. Your support truly makes our school a better place for every student.
