Accelerate Grant Program
We are excited to celebrate four of our Desert Edge Scorpions who have been awarded an Accelerate Grant Program Scholarship!
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ), Accelerate ASU, and the Agua Fria Union High School District (AFUHSD) have formed a strategic partnership to create a structured Healthcare & Nursing Pathway. This exciting opportunity is designed to strengthen Arizona's future healthcare workforce while expanding college access and opportunities for students in the West Valley.
These four Scorpions are taking an exciting step toward continuing their education and pursuing future careers in healthcare. We are proud to celebrate their hard work and this incredible accomplishment. Congratulations, Scorpions!
Academies of the Southwest Valley
The Academies offer pathways for students to explore high-wage, in-demand careers and understand the education, training, and credentials needed to meet their career goals. By aligning core classes, such as Algebra, English, Science, and US History, with workforce-focused experiences, students can apply classroom lessons to the business community.
ParentSquare is Replacing Remind
Agua Fria High School District is transitioning from Remind to ParentSquare as our primary communication platform. ParentSquare will become the district's central hub for school-to-home communication, making it easier for families to stay informed.
ParentSquare allows schools and district staff to communicate with families through email, text messages, phone calls, and the ParentSquare mobile app. An account is automatically created for every parent or guardian using the contact information provided in our student information system. We encourage all families to activate their ParentSquare account by downloading the free mobile app, setting language preferences, and customizing how and when they receive communications.
