Ms. Hauptman’s fifth grade students would like to sincerely thank the entire Redfied community for the very generous donations of medical supplies, toiletries, clothes, blankets, towels, and so much more to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Working before and after school each day, we were so grateful to have so many parents, teachers, and staff of Redfield present us with donations.
We also raised over $750 in monetary donations, as well, for the American Red Cross to help in their disaster relief for Haiti. Thanks so very much. Redfield truly rocks!
Beginning in January, Scottsdale Unified School District is hosting Strategic Planning, Vision and Mission focus groups at school campuses throughout the school district.

Redfield’s focus groups will be held on Thursday, February 11th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on the Redfield campus Teachers are currently extending an invitation to their classroom parents to participate in the focus groups. The statements gathered from the input of the participants in the focus groups will provide the framework for future planning efforts and guide the district's Governing Board. We are hoping for a minimum of fifty parents to participate in this important event. If you have not yet agreed to participate and would like to to so, please contact your child's teacher at your earliest convenience.
