Athletics: Parents, attached is a flyer for an upcoming basketball camp. I truly believe this will be a great opportunity for your child to get the best out of the sport. Please contact Skyline Gila River for more information .

From the Athletic Department : It was a pleasure to see all the students participate in sports this school year. We had students that never played sports before to others returning from last year. I'm seeing that students are testing the field of athletics and enjoying it. Parents, your continuous positive support with your child in sports is much appreciated. To get a jump start for next school year, you can pick up a 2024-2025 Physical Packet from the Middle School front office. Keep an eye out for camps and/or workouts that may happen during the month of June. Attached are some photos from the year of sports. Have a great summer!

No school today, Friday May 3rd - Makeup Day! Have a great 3-day weekend Sacaton Braves!

Sacaton Elementary Preschoolers enjoyed their end of the year field trip at the Ostrich Farm. They explored the animal habitats and got to feed the many animals. This was a great experience to end the school year!

Athletic Department This weeks softball/basketball games were played at Villago MS with a home game against Casa Grande MS. The softball game consisted of a forfeit by Casa Grande, giving Sacaton MS a Win on the schedule (2 wins for the season). During halftime of the boys basketball game, the 8th grade student athletes along with their parents were recognized for their accomplishments in the classroom and on the athletic court/field. Sacaton Track & Field also competed at Casa Grande MS on Thursday, ending their season with great accomplishments and looking forward to student participation next school year. A shout-out to the parents for their support throughout the school year! Another Shout-Out goes out to the coaches for putting in the extra time to teach in the classroom and on the court/field! Attached are photos of the 8th grade recognition.

Athletic Department News Parents, If you are looking to get some Off Season Sports Training for your student, the TRW Wellness Center will be offering sport specific training beginning May 6th. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

At 1:16 PM local law enforcement released the lockdown. All students and staff did an exceptional job executing lockdown procedures. Everyone is safe. We want to thank local law enforcement officials for keeping our schools and community safe. Once again, the lockdown has been released. Local law enforcement has contained the threat off campus and cleared the District for the lockdown release. The District has resumed normal operations.

At 12:45 PM the School District was notified by local law enforcement that there was an altercation two blocks from the Middle School. Law enforcement requested that we go into lockdown. The District will remain in lockdown until the District is notified by law enforcement to do otherwise. Like always, safety of students and staff is our priority. Once again, we will hold in lockdown until law enforcements directs us to do otherwise.

Check out our Sacaton Braves participating in the Earth Day Event earlier this week with Governor Lewis, Mrs. Dominguez, and Mrs. Kelly! Go Braves! “Happiness is to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature around you."
