Yesterday, our staff and students wore gold to bring awareness and show support for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! Every gold outfit represents hope, love, and support for those impacted by this disease. 💛🎗️ #KUSDCares #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth


Teaching the next generation of animal lovers! A huge thank you to our amazing volunteer, Mr. Smith, for visiting Desert Willow classrooms to teach our kiddos about the importance of animal rescue, and the services they provide!




Attention! 📣Beginning October 13th (after our Fall Break) Desert Willow will be changing our student dismissal locations/procedures. At dismissal, our school buses will now enter and leave our first parking lot, not the far second lot like before. This means that Express Pickup AND Secure Pickup will now both be in our gymnasium. Included is a map detailing this change. We are hoping this will allow for our busses to leave on time without getting backed up behind cars on the street. Thank you for your cooperation! 😄

Friendly reminder that our staff and student picture day will be this Wednesday, September 17th! Don't forget to wear your best smile! 😁🙂☺️😬📸

These two were "caught in the act" of being exceptionally helpful around campus, and we couldn't be prouder to recognize them! Thank you for your kindness and for making our school a better place for everyone!


Monday's Grandparents' Luncheon was a wonderful reminder of the special bond between generations. Thank you to all who travelled from near and far to be apart of this amazing event. ❤️

Here at Desert Willow, we LOVE celebrating our students. Over the past week, these amazing students have been “caught in the act” spreading kindness, helping others, and leading by example. They each earned a necklace tag and a letter home detailing their awesome acts of kindness. Keep shining and inspiring us all — We’re so proud of you, Diamondbacks! 🐍 🎖️
