Despite the current lack of a state education budget and reduced state support, FHUSD continues to seek an educational environment for increasing student achievement. Since the beginning of school on August 10th, we have lowered our class sizes by adding teachers at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade levels. Our current class sizes reveal our commitment to protecting this key time in student development.
KG 19-20
1st 21-22
2nd 22-23
3rd 23-24
In addition we have brought back our computer specialist at Four Peaks (grades 3-5) with this teacher to share time with our McDowell Primary School (grades preschool-grade 2) beginning second quarter. Technology literacy is a key component for our students' future and our P-12 system provides a strong array of technology tools for their access and use.
Last week we had almost two dozen parents, staff , administrators, board members and community members work for two days in a visioning activity to identify our district instruction and curriculum vision. This data and dialogue will be developed into a district achievement plan
with measurable indicators within an action plan. With the passage of our two upcoming override renewals this November (K-3 and Maintenance & Operations) , our district will position itself to systemically improve as support returns to normal levels.
As a district we rocognize that despite the external challenges the opportunity is now for continuous and embedded improvement for our learning systems. We continue to be fortunate to have the support of the Fountain Hills Community that creates graduating classes with over 94% moving on to higher education. A strong school system supports our community and protects property values. We will continue to seek improvement and with your help support the future for the greater Fountain Hills community.
