CAMPUS REOPENING DATE ANNOUNCED |
|
In case you missed this morning’s email, we would like to announce that, under guidance from our Board of Trustees and in compliance with the Memorandum of Understanding established with our teachers’ collective bargaining unit, CSArts-SGV’s first day of in-person learning will be on Monday, April 19.
This reopening date applies to our high school families only. Middle school families should expect to see a joint communication from Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) and CSArts-SGV in the near future.
We will continue to keep you updated as data evolves. Please stay tuned for next week’s Reopening Updates newsletter, in addition to other future communications, which will provide all families with any updates surrounding our return to campus, as well as further details relating to in-person learning, COVID-19 testing opportunities, campus safety measures, and more.

LEARNING MODEL SELECTION SURVEY DUE TODAY |
|
Please be reminded that, in anticipation of our return to campus, the deadline for high school families to make the selection between the Virtual Learning Model and the Hybrid/In-Person Learning Model is TODAY, Friday, March 19. If you have not already done so, please complete the In-Person/Virtual Learning Selection Survey.
With your selection, you are committing to complete the spring semester within your chosen model and learning format. Students will not have the option to switch models for the remainder of the semester, unless there are special circumstances, which will be handled on a case-by-case basis. High school students who do not complete this survey by the end of the day today will be automatically placed in the Virtual Learning Model.

DEVICE PICK-UP FOR STATE TESTING WEEK |
|
As a reminder, in order for students in grades 11-12 to participate in the upcoming state testing week, they will need to download a secure browser on their personal or school devices. Please click here for directions on how to download the secure browser. If you are unable to download the secure browser on your personal computer and will need a school computer, please fill out the Device Pick-Up Google Form and stop by campus on Friday, March 26 from 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. to pick up a school device with the browser already installed.
Please only complete the above Google Form after submitting the Secure Browser Google Form. If you have not yet submitted the Secure Browser Google Form, please click the correct link below:
Students in grades 9-10 do not need to download the secure browser because they will be using a web-based browser during testing week.
Where do I go for device pick-up?
There is currently a City of Hope vaccination clinic set up in the CSArts-SGV back parking lot, so please drive by campus on the North side of Central Avenue to pick up your device. To make the process go quicker, please be ready to show your child’s student ID or provide their student ID number.
