It is the parent’s or guardian’s responsibility to notify the school if a child is going to be absent. Please call the attendance office at 602-896-6211 by 8:00 a.m. to report an absence. For your convenience and to help you meet this responsibility, messages may be left on voicemail during non-school hours. 

Quality before and after is provided on site for school age children of Sahuaro through our KidSpace program. Space is limited, so early registration is important. Call 602-896-6265 for details and rates.

Breakfast and lunch are served free of charge to students. Breakfast is served in the classroom at 7:30 a.m. Lunches are served daily in the cafeteia. An adult lunch may be purchased for $3.50.

Uniforms are not required but students must adhere to the dress code. 

Student IDs are an essential part of the dress code. IDs must be worn by all students at all times for safety purposes.

Sahuaro Elementary offers a number of extracurricular activities to our students. 

With funding by a 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant and the Washington Elementary School District’s Community Education Program, classes will be offered throughout the school year and during the summer.

Cross country and girls and boys basketball are offered before and after school during the season.

Older students have the opportunity to run for student  council positions. Student council activites include service projects, sponsorship of special events and fundraising.

All parents and guardians have a ParentVUE account that can be used to access important information about their student such as grades and attendance. Parents/guardians will need an activation key to log on for the first time. You can obtain an activation key by visiting the school office and bringing a photo ID. If you have a registered email, you can also request account activation online. Please visit /ParentVUE to get started.

Sahuaro has a half-day Head Start, a full-day Head Start, and a Special Needs Preschool on site. Students must qualify for these preschool programs. Please contact the school office for additional details.

The Â鶹Íø provides all required school supplies, though teachers may send home a "wish list" of additional, optional items. 

Students should not arrive at Sahuaro School before 7:10 a.m as there is no supervision before this time. 

If parents' employment obligations so require, arrangements for early supervision should be made with neighbors, day care facilities or KidSpace (fee-based).

Please see the District Website for information regarding KidSpace for all families.

Students should leave campus or be picked up by parents promptly at dismissal times. The school does not have the means to supervise children after dismissal times. Board policy requires schools to notify Child Protective Services when a child is not picked up after school.

Sahauro Elementary School is a walking school and does not provide transportation to regular education students. 

Students in grades K-6 are allowed to ride bicycles and scooters to school. Bicycles and scooters must be individually locked in the bike racks provided. Sahuaro Elementary is not responsible for lost or stolen bicycles or scooters. Skateboards are not permitted.

Students may also walk to school. Please review with your child the safest, as well as quickest, route to and from school. Students must be advised to avoid strangers and to take other precautions in case of an emergency.

All visitors must sign in at the front officce, leave a picture ID and pick up a visitor’s badge. 

Parents are welcome to join their child at lunch during the school year. Lunch times vary. Please call the office for a schedule.
