Chandler district hosts annual school choice fair Nov. 4

The Chandler Unified School District invites families to explore its schools, meet school leaders and staff, and discover educational opportunities at its annual School Choice Fair from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at three locations.

New this year, the School Choice Fair will feature three regional locations serving northern, middle and southern areas of the district’s 80-square-mile boundaries.

The regional format gives families the opportunity to connect with school representatives closer to home while learning about the programs, people and educational experiences.

Families can meet school leaders and staff, ask questions and explore options for their children, from elementary school through high school. Representatives from Chandler Online Academy (grades 7–12) will be available at all three locations.

The fair offers families a convenient opportunity to learn more about the educational options available throughout Chandler Unified and connect directly with the people who help students learn and thrive, a news release states.

Families are encouraged to explore the district’s schools in advance by visiting cusd80.com/schools. RSVP for the event through the district’s Eventbrite registration link by clicking here.
