Dear Wildcats,

It’s that time, time for another exciting school year to begin. I hope you enjoyed your summer break and are ready to return to class. This upcoming 2010-2011 school year will be the fourth year that Heartland Ranch Elementary School will be open. I am proud to continue to be your principal. We have highly qualified and dedicated professionals who share our goal of helping each and every student reach their academic goals.

There have been some changes here at Heartland Ranch Elementary School.

• We are now a Kindergarten through fifth grade school. The sixth, seventh, and eighth graders will be attending HoHoKam Middle School. 
• Our school day has also changed. Classes for all grades will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m. Breakfast will be served beginning at 8:10 a.m.
• Supervision begins at 8:10 a.m. There is no supervision prior to this time. For safety reasons, students should not be on campus before 8:10 a.m.
• Our school calendar has also changed; we will no longer have early release every Friday. Early release will still occur; however, they will be limited and will take place on Wednesdays instead of Fridays.

One thing that hasn’t changed is our staff. I am excited that all of our staff is returning to the Coolidge family.

Unfortunately, because our enrollment is changing on a daily basis, I cannot provide you with a finalized class list at this point. They will be posted outside the school building beginning August 2nd. Transportation routes are due to be posted in the Coolidge Examiner and on the Coolidge Web site on July 28th.

Together we will continue to work on our academic goals as well as build a school community. This is your community school and I encourage you to get involved and ask questions. We have a PTO/Site Council that meets once a month. Please stop by often and talk to our staff about your ideas and concerns.

The district calendar will outline the observed holidays, breaks, assessment dates, and early release days. With limited budget, your contribution to the supply lists will help tremendously. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we will see you soon!

Sincerely,

Jessie Arroyos, Principal
