FACE COVERINGS UPDATE:

Use of face coverings for STUDENTS and STAFF will be optional during the following activities:

Outdoor Physical Education classes
Outdoor recess
Outdoor lunch breaks (beyond when students are not eating)

Use of face coverings for STAFF will be optional during the following activities:

Outdoor duties when not in close proximity to other community members (Ex: traffic duty)

Please note that face coverings are still required for all community members during pick up, drop off, and during class transition times when students may be walking outside. Also, face coverings will continue to be required inside campus buildings until further notice.

These decisions were made due to the improved COVID metrics and concerns regarding the health of students and staff wearing a mask outside as the weather becomes hot.

Last call for time capsule items!

If you want your picture, idea, or thoughts on 2020 included, please use an 8 ½" x 11" piece of paper and make sure it's school appropriate.

Please add it to the box located in front of the Secondary office. It will remain out in front of the office through the end of the year.

All grades will be included! Please label it with your name and current grade level.

As the COVID-19 metrics improve, we continue to update the school's mitigation strategies. We know it is important to many of our families to walk their students onto the school campus. With that in mind, we are excited to announce that beginning Monday, April 19, parents will be allowed to walk their K - 6th grade students onto campus.

DROP OFF DETAILS:

This new process will begin Monday, April 19.
Masks are required.
No siblings will be allowed. Siblings that are Horizon Honors students will need to be dropped off using the current process.
Parents may walk 3-4 students to the outside classroom entrance door. 1-2 students can be dropped off at the front entrance doors. Kindergarten students may be walked to the outside Kindergarten entrance door.
Parents will not be permitted inside the playground or classrooms.
After drop-off, parents will need to exit campus.
This is for drop-off ONLY. Pick-up process remains the same.

If you have any questions, please call the Elementary Office at 480-659-3100.

As conditions improve, we will continue to modify our policies and procedures. We appreciate your ongoing support and are excited to welcome you onto campus.

We hope to see you Monday!
