November Newsletter
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Shadow Ridge Families,
It's a great day to be a Stallion. I hope this newsletter finds everyone
doing well. We are excited to announce that the Arizona Department of
Education has recognized us as an “A” school. Not all families in Arizona
can say that their child attends an “A” school, and this accomplishment is
due to the teachers, staff, and support of our community. We would like to
thank each family for allowing us the opportunity to work with your
children.
Part of celebrating a school is getting the word out about the amazing
things Shadow Ridge does to support your children. Understanding this, we
would love your help and support with doing school reviews on Google,
GreatSchools, and Niche.
We would also like to wish each family a nice and relaxing Thanksgiving
Break. When we return from break on November 28th, we are three weeks from
finishing 1st semester. With that said, please communicate with your
students the importance of being at school on time everyday and staying
focused on their academics to finish the semester strong.

Academic Update
As we get closer to the end of the
semester, we wanted to remind parents
that monitoring student grades and
attendance is quick and easy by
visiting parent portal. The parent
portal allows parents to access
grades, attendance, schedules, and
more, and provides the opportunity to
update annual student information. To
get started today, click on the link
above.
Another great resource where
information can be found is on
Schoology. If your child is absent,
many teachers have created a schoology
class that students can access missing
assignments. This is also another
place that we communicate information
with your children. Please note that
your parent portal sign in information
is the same.
ASVAB
What is the ASVAB? Why is it
important? The ASVAB is an aptitude
assessment that measures developed
abilities and helps predict future
academic and occupational success.
Students can use the results of this
assessment to start thinking about
future college or career plans based
on what they are currently skilled at.
ASVAB testing will be February 14th.
