Staton Student Art Show at Summerlin Library
We have some amazingly talented artists at Staton. Enjoy the work of more than 70 students from Kindergarten - Fifth Grade hanging in the Children's Library section of the Summerlin Library through May.

Five Stars!
CCSD has launched a new rating system and Staton achieved the highest score possible....Five Stars! Congratulations to everyone on their hard work! To learn more about School Performance Framework visit CCSD's dedicated webpage.

No More Accelerated Program?
No More Explorations Program?
Starting next year, Staton will no longer receive grant money to help fund these programs (and many more). These programs were funded by grant money from the Lincy Foundation and the Nevada Women’s Philanthropy. Unfortunately, the grant from the Lincy Foundation expired at the end of the 2010-11 school year, and the grant from the Nevada Women’s Philanthropy will expire at the end of the 2011-12 school year. Fortunately you can help with a Pioneer Pledge. Visit the Parents page to donate now.

NEW - A Great New Way To Support Our School
This year, we are participating in a new fundraising program called What Gives?™ It is unique from our other fundraising programs because it pays monthly, it is easy to do, and it supports our local businesses.

What Gives?™ is a daily deals website with a philanthropic twist. It is a place to purchase discounted deals like a pizza, oil changes, spa days and even weekend get-a-ways. Up to 40% of What Gives?™ profits are given back to local schools and community organizations that participate. details | website

Box Tops - Super Easy Way To Support Staton
The Box Top 4 Education Challenge has begun!!. It will be going on now until January 20th. The class who collects the most BoxTops wins a pizza party! There are envelopes outside of each classroom for collection, just send your BoxTops to school with your student.
