Dear Parents,

Welcome to Calabasas Pre K-8 School, an Arizona Educational Foundation A+ School!

On behalf of the staff, I would like to welcome new and returning students to a new school year at Calabasas Pre K-8 School. Our goal is to have every student succeed, and we encourage you to stay committed and take pride in your own education. Come prepared, attend all classes regularly and promptly, and keep a positive attitude.

The teachers and staff at Calabasas set high academic and behavior expectations for all of our students. We celebrate our successes as we challenge and enrich each student. When we all work together, our students have the best opportunity to reach their full potentials. We know our students are our future and we strive to “Educate Everyone Every Day!"

Together we can make a difference in the lives of our students at Calabasas Pre K-8!

Your Partner in Education,

John M. Fanning
