In addition Ventana Vista was recently recognized as a 2012 National Centerfor Educational Achievement (NCEA) Higher Performing School!Recognition as an NCEA Higher Performing School indicates a schools deep
commitment to raising student achievement and putting more students on thepath to college and career readinessregardless of socio-economic barriers orany other obstacles that might otherwise impede success. We are proud to be aschool that stands out as shining example of what can be achieved when staff,students and parents work together toward a unified goal of better educatingstudents and preparing them for life after high school.
We are very fortunate to be part of an exceptional preK-12 school system.Preparing students well for life beyond our school system, college and careerreadiness, is what we strive for in CFSD.

To: Parents of Catalina Foothills Students
From: Mary Kamerzell, Superintendent of Schools
Subject: Open Enrollment for School Year 2013-2014
Pursuant to A.R.S. 15-816 Catalina Foothills School District will begin its open enrollment
procedures for the 2013-2014 school year effective December 1, 2012. The law requires every
Arizona school district to follow a prescribed procedure and timetable for admitting out-of-
district transfer students and resident transfer students (those who live in the District but are
attending a school outside the attendance area of their residence). All students who currently
attend CFSD schools and reside in other districts, and all CFSD resident students who are
attending a different school than they would based on their residence, are impacted by this law.
We require that all open enrollment students apply for admission each year.Therefore, if your child is a resident transfer (open enrollment) student and you want him/her to
continue in that capacity, or if your child resides outside of the district and you want him/her to
continue to attend a CFSD school next year, please complete an application form between
December 1, 2012, and February 28, 2013.
Open Enrollment applications and information regarding the application
process are on the district web site, www.cfsd16.org(as of December 1, 2012), orat the district office Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The district office is located
at:
Catalina Foothills School District
J. W. Murphey Administration Center
2101 E. River Road
Tucson, AZ 85718
(520) 209-7537
Applications will be available as of December 1, 2012, and may be completed on line
(www.cfsd16.org), or submitted in person at the district office. Electronic applications must be
submitted no later than February 28, 2013, and hard copies by 4:00 p.m. February 28, 2013.
Decisions about admission, based on capacity, will be made by April l, 2013. At that time, all
