Welcome to Continental School District, home of the Continental Colts! We are a small school district located in Green Valley, Arizona, approximately 20 miles south of Tucson, and 40 miles north of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. There are many exciting and beautiful things to see here in our area of the desert southwest. Our school serves around 550 students in pre-school through 8th grade. We are very proud of our outstanding students and dedicated teachers. Because of their efforts, our school received the “Excelling School” title in 2007 from the Arizona Department of Education. We have high expectations for the students in our care and we are devoted to their success.  Greetings from the Superintendent: The Annual Volunteer Tea will be on Thursday, March 4 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the School Cafeteria. This is a traditional event at Continental School, in which we honor all our dedicated volunteers. It is so important to have volunteers work side-by-side with our teachers to support student learning. A big thank you to all our volunteers!
Our Parent/ Teacher conferences will be held on March 25 and 26. Parents will receive a notice indicating the time and day scheduled to meet with Kindergarten through 5th Grade teachers. If this time or date is not convenient, please contact the office to reschedule. Conferences for grades 6th through 8th grade teachers will be held March 25, by appointment only. If you wish to meet with a middle school teacher, please notify the middle school office by March 24.
Spring break is March 15 through 19 this year. Please take advantage of the opportunity to relax and spend some quality time with your child.
Kindergarten round-up for Continental School area resident children will be on Thursday, April 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Please call the office for an appointment. You must bring the child’s birth certificate, immunization record, and proof of residence to your appointment. Please note that there will be no school for kindergarten students that day.
AIMS tests are next month. Excellent results require that everyone (teachers, parents, students, and volunteers) make the extra effort to ensure that our students come to school prepared to show what they have learned during the past year. AIMS scores are designed to help students show academic growth. Please make sure your child eats healthy and gets plenty of rest. We support success for all students!
