Welcome Tres Rios Service Academy

Welcome to Tres Rios Service Academy, home of the Pumas! We are a K–8 school in the Littleton Elementary School District #65. Located in Tolleson, Arizona, approximately 18 miles west of downtown Phoenix, we enjoy a friendly, family-oriented, small town atmosphere. At Tres Rios, we focus on preparing students to positively impact a changing world. We provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in a world that holds many opportunities and challenges. Here we use the concept of "service learning" to integrate meaningful community service, with instruction and reflection, to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen our community.

We recognize the value and importance of parent/guardian participation in a child’s education and welcome your involvement. We have provided several ways to help you stay connected, including a Facebook page, Twitter, and this website. We thank you for your interest in our school and for supporting your child(ren), as we work together to educate and prepare our most precious assets—our children—to take on the world!

A Message from our Principal

Puma Families,

The start of our 2021–2022 school year is just a week away on July 28, and we are incredibly excited to welcome our Pumas back! As I mentioned in my welcome back letter, there is a considerable amount of construction occurring around campus. Currently, 103rd Ave. from Broadway to Chipman is closed. In order to most efficiently manage traffic before school during this closure, we will open up our east gate along 101st Ave. (by the baseball/softball/soccer fields), along with our west parking lot or parent drop-offs. All other arrival and dismissal procedures will remain the same.

School Start Time

Our school day will begin at 8:00 a.m. The doors will be open to students beginning at 7:45 a.m.

School Drop-Off

All student drop-offs in the morning will occur at the east gate or the west parking lot. We reserve the south parking lot for bus riders and walkers.

Walkers

Our students who walk to school should plan to arrive on campus no earlier than 7:45 a.m. They will enter through the south gate and through the main hallway doors.

Dismissal

We dismiss kindergarten students at 3:00 p.m.
We dismiss walkers from the east or west gates at 3:00 p.m.
We dismiss parent pick-up students in the west parking lot at 3:00 p.m.
We dismiss bus riders out the main gate.

The first day of school is always a special time for students and families, especially for our youngest learners. We want to invite our Kindergarten parents to enjoy the experience of walking your child to his/her classroom that first day (July 28) if you choose.

We also would like to invite kindergarten families to the library after dropping off their students for a light snack and some quick information. For all other grades, we will enact our standard campus entry procedures for arrival.

Thank you for your partnership. Together we are going to make this a great year!

Respectfully,

Steve Rickert
