It’s an Eagle Thing

Welcome to the Sonoita Elementary School District website. We’re honored to offer a unique educational experience at our small, K–8 school in Elgin, Arizona. In our six elementary classrooms and four middle-school classrooms, learning and fun go hand in hand. Elgin students have access to the latest in instructional technology, including iPads, laptops, interactive whiteboards, and more. We also have a STEAM lab with a 3-D printer and robots and a media center with a green screen and virtual reality glasses. In addition to unique academic opportunities, we offer a fun PE program and interscholastic sports. At our school, you will also find dedicated educators who are committed to building supportive relationships with every one of our students.

Message From Mr. Erickson

Dear Elgin Elementary School Families,

It’s hard to believe we are already moving into October! The school year is off to a great start, and I want to thank you for the support you’ve shown to our students and staff.

No School Reminder - Please remember there will be no school on Monday, October 6. We encourage families to use these days, along with Fridays and upcoming breaks, to schedule appointments whenever possible. This helps us keep students in class and engaged in learning.

Red Ribbon Week - Later this month, we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a time to raise awareness about making safe and healthy choices. Our students will participate in activities and theme days that remind them of the importance of living drug-free lives. More information will be sent home soon.

Tips for Success in School - As we move deeper into the semester, here are a few tips to help students stay successful:

  • Get a good night’s sleep before each school day.
  • Pack a healthy breakfast and lunch for sustained energy.
  • Encourage your child to talk about what they learned at school. It helps build confidence and reinforce learning.
  • Set aside time each evening for some family time. Down time is important for everyone, especially children as they grow and develop.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us in your child’s education. Together, we are rowing the boat and helping our Eagles soar!

With appreciation,

Daniel R. Erickson
