A Message from the Superintendent, May 2020

The end of the 2019-20 academic school year is approaching and there are only a few weeks remaining of "At Home" Learning. 

First off, we would like to recognize and acknowledge the commitment and dedication our students, parents, and families have applied to ensure our students continue to learn, even during these difficult and unprecedented times. Our teachers and staff would like to remind students that they appreciate them, and are excited to see them once classes resume.

We have been working with state and local officials to determine when and how we can reopen our schools for operation. While it still remains uncertain whether we will reopen our schools in the fall, we would like to remind our families that together, we will overcome this crisis. 

The district has set-up its own committee based on teachers, administrators, and parents to determine the district's own guidelines once our schools reopen, and the task of this committee will also be setting-up different security measures for district faculties. The committee will be working with the state and the district and will determine when it will be safe to reopen the district's facilities.

Planning for the upcoming school year will be difficult, considering the current circumstances. While we deem the education of our students essential, it is also important to consider and note the health and safety of our students, staff, and those working in our facilities.

Following direction from the state, the last day of online instruction is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16. This means that students will continue online learning until said date and that is when grades and reports from teachers are due to the district.

We are eager to return our students to our schools when possible and are determined to keep our community as informed as possible.

Stay safe and healthy, 

Dr. Miguel Chavez

Superintendent
