Health & Safety

ACS/SPA Families – Safety Issue

Please note that any SPA students in the ACS car lane for drop-off must exit the car at ACS, not directly from the queue near our crosswalk lane. This poses a major safety issue for your child and others. Our SPA students have a special trail to walk back to SPA from the ACS campus, so there is no reason to risk the safety of children in dropping them off in the middle of the car lane.

Vaccination Update

Arizona Department of Health Services announced that it will open vaccine appointments to all residents aged 18 and older for those receiving the Moderna and Janssen vaccine and 16 and older for the those receiving the Pfizer vaccine. For more information on scheduling vaccine appointments, please visit: https://podvaccine.azdhs.gov/

Updated COVID Quarantine Guidance

Great Hearts has come out with an amendment to the covid-19 guideline ‘close contact with someone who tested positive for covid-19 when isolation from the individual is possible’. The amended guideline states the exposed individual is quarantined off campus for 7 days after last day of contact as long as they don’t have symptoms and a PCR test is negative that was taken within 48 hours of day 7 of being in quarantine. The individual may return to campus on day 8.

SPA PSO Information

Teacher Appreciation Committee Needs Your Help!

Our teacher appreciation committee has some great ideas to support our teachers. But, due to Covid-19, the look and feel of our meals (breakfast/lunch) has changed. In the past, we have been able to provide home cooked food for our teachers on a monthly basis. Although this year is very different, we are still able to provide meals to our much appreciated teachers and staff.

We need your help to raise funds for Teacher Appreciation meals! Please consider donating here. (If your family owns a small business that would like to underwrite a lunch, please contact Kelle Hohl at president@spapso.org for more information.) All funds collected go directly towards the purchase of meals for our amazing teachers and staff. Please help us continue this great tradition!
