Parents, we are piloting this program with 6th-8th grade students only at this time.
Introducing Talk About It….

As a reflection of our school’s commitment to fostering a safer, more comfortable learning environment for students and faculty, we are proud to introduce a new program called Talk About It.

 Talk About It is the nation’s first and only anonymous online messaging service. It is a preventative solution focused on bridging the communication gap between students and faculty to create a place where teachers can teach and students can learn.

  • Opens the channel and frequency of communications between students and faculty
  • Fosters a safer and more comfortable learning environment
  • Provides students with a mechanism to reach out to adults and report problems anonymously
  • Builds positive connections between students and faculty members
  • Resolves student problems in a safe, efficient and timely manner.
  • Allows students to assist in creating and maintaining a safe school environment

Today, thousands of students in more than 300 elementary, middle and high schools across the United States rely on Talk About It to report problems and incidents ranging from bullying, gangs, threats of violence, suicide and cheating to drug and alcohol abuse, pregnancy, depression, stress, physical abuse, self-mutilation and sexual harassment.

How to Log In:
To help your child log in to the Talk About It service, please go to LetsTAI.com  and click on the “Register” link at the top of the web page.

Parents If you should need further assistance, please contact the School Counselor at (623) 772-2400.

Parents, remember you have a vital role in supporting your children's consistent attendance in school.  Attendance is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It is extremely difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause problems in their communities.  Remember consistent expectations and on-going support will ensure your children's success in school and beyond.  We need your help to make sure students stay focus on their attendance and academic performance.
