Please check your email and submit your intent to return for the upcoming school year by electronically submitting your re-enrollment registration and emailing your AZ Proof of Residency documentation to mbogren@areteprepacademy.org or you can upload it to your parent portal.

The Deadline is Approaching |
|
The filing deadline to submit 2021 tax returns is April 18, 2022. Before you file, please make sure to direct your tax dollars to Arete, using the Arizona State Tax Public School Credit. This program shifts control away from the state, and gives individuals the power to determine which deserving organizations or schools receive tax revenue.
Remember that you will get this money, ($200 single, $400 married) back, reducing what you owe the state. It simply sends this money to Arete Prep to directly fund our athletics and extracurricular activities. Already given yours? Then consider talking to a family member, friend, or neighbor to designate their tax credit to Arete in what we call a, “plus one.” Rewards for students with the most plus ones brought in to be announced soon!
We also have some great incentives coming up for our Tax Credit Tuesday drawings, which continue next week including:
Signed Arizona Cardinals football
Diamondbacks tickets
Arete Athletics participation ’22-23 fee
Restaurant gift cards, and more!
Tax credits are the backbone of Arete’s athletics budget. Check out this video with some ’21-22 athletics highlights, as well as info on athletics funding.
