We are excited to welcome back our returning scholars and families as well as our new scholars. and families. It is our mission to help every scholar feel welcomed, connected, and part of our Desert Sands family. We will continue to offer opportunities for students, such as after-school sports and clubs to allow them to share their strengths, talents, and potential inside and outside of the classroom. Our academy will provide many opportunities for students to learn new skill sets and discover new interests in the realm of mass communication. We will continue a positive culture and climate where we are all setting high expectations for learning.
