As the doors open for a new school year, the Scottsdale Unified School District is excited to welcome students, families, and staff back to classrooms filled with possibility, purpose, and opportunity.
Throughout the summer, our Teaching and Learning Department has been hard at work preparing for a successful start to the year. From supporting new educator onboarding to providing professional learning opportunities for returning staff, our focus has remained on ensuring every classroom is a place where students can thrive, grow, and achieve their highest potential.
Summer is a wonderful time for students to relax, recharge, and continue exploring their interests. Scottsdale Unified School District is proud to support families with meaningful learning opportunities through our SUSD Summer Learning Site.
Our summer website is designed to provide families with a wide range of engaging resources, enrichment activities, and academic supports for students entering kindergarten through high school. Families can access the site by visiting Explore the SUSD Summer Learning Site or by going to the district website and selecting the “Summer Learning” link at the top of the homepage.
