News
  • All Student West Fork Hike--DRIVERS NEEDED: This Friday, April 27th the UE class will hike West Fork. We will leave at 11:00am and return at 3:00pm. Please contact us if you can drive. 
  • Symphony Thursday:  This Thursday at 10:30 is the Flagstaff Symphony League’s presentation of Woodwinds performers at Sedona Charter School.
  • Library Parking Lot Maintenance: Brewer Brothers Contractors will be working in the library parking lots on Monday, April 23 and either Thursday, April 26 or Friday, April 27.  Parts of the driveway and parking lots will be unavailable as they work.  They'll be putting on a seal coat.  The plan is to do the staff parking lot and also the middle public parking lot on Monday. The parking lot closest to the entrance and also the section next to the apartment buildings will be done on Thursday or Friday.  This will impact the school mostly on Thursday or Friday when the usual drop-off area may not be available, depending on when work starts that morning.  The middle parking area should still be available.  The path to the school should always be accessible.
  • Metals Recycling Extended: Thank you to all who have brought us your recyclable items. Our dollars earned to date: over $500.  It is all going to help costs for our 8th grade Catalina trip – a week long marine science camp. With such success, we will continue this work up to April 27th. Please send this flyer out to who can help us and want to be rid of some of their junk metal.
  • Friday Afternoon Help: We are looking for help during electives from 1:00-2:00pm on Fridays. We would like someone to help supervise students at Woodworking Club and Art. 
  • Smoothies: We are partnering with Zainey's to sell smoothies EVERY Friday for $5.00 each. Proceeds go to UE end of the year trips. Please prepay so we can pre-order the smoothies. This week's flavor is ISLAND BANANA.
  • Talent Show: Join us this Friday, April 27th from 5:00-8:00 pm! Admission is $5.00 per person. There will not be judges--this will simply be a showcase of talent. Please bring background music or instruments, if needed. Acts must be 3 minutes or less. Proceeds go to the Middle School Catalina Island Trip. Contact Julie at 928-204-6464 or julie@sedonacharterschool.com for more info.
