Navajo Elementary School

At Navajo Elementary School, the community is celebrating what has been a four-year journey (be sure to check out the ABC15 story In the News).

Just two weeks into the 2018-19 school year, an overnight fire in a storage closet forced Navajo’s students and staff to relocate for two years.  When they returned to their restored campus in September 2020, the pandemic was in full swing and no celebration to mark the joyous occasion was possible. 

In April, the final phase of the restoration of the Navajo Building D began, starting with environmental remediation of asbestos and lead. General contractor GCON has been making great progress in recent weeks. Wall framing, electrical and plumbing activities are ongoing. Final phases of the new air conditioning equipment installation will wrap up in the next couple of weeks. The Navajo staff is looking forward to moving into this newly renovated building before the 2022-2023 school year begins in August. It will house an additional STEAM makerspace, four classrooms and teacher work areas.

Yavapai Elementary School

Yavapai Elementary School will welcome back students in August as part of the Coronado Learning Community reconfiguration. In preparation for the arrival of students and staff, Yavapai campus bond projects have been moved to the front of the line. The SUSD Governing Board recently approved both exterior painting and flooring projects. Bond dollars are also funding new security fencing, renovated air conditioning equipment, and the replacement of windows and doors in the media center. We are excited to welcome students and staff back to the Yavapai campus in August of 2022.

Yavapai’s new principal, Dr. David Priniski, and the entire Yavapai teaching staff will host a community BBQ on Wednesday, May 18 at 5 p.m. to welcome families back to the Thunderbirds’ home campus at 701 N. Miller Rd., Scottsdale. There will be food, family fun and parent tours of the school. We look forward to seeing you there!
