Vulnerable and Essential Students

Vulnerable and Essential Students

Governor Ducey's Executive orders 2020-41 and 2020-44 regarding returning to school safely, state that schools must offer on-site supervision of student learning for vulnerable populations as well as children of essential workers. Desert Heights will provide a space on site during regular school hours for students who fall into this category and are signed up by a parent or guardian by August 12, 2020 at 5:00pm.

We must have this information in order to provide adequate supervision.

During their time on campus, these students will participate in the virtual learning under support staff supervision during "live times" scheduled for their grade level. If these students must remain on campus during independent work time, it is highly encouraged that they bring things to work on or do during that time, activities will not be provided by the support staff for time outside of live classes and due to social distancing requirements, students will not be permitted to share items. Masks/Face coverings will be required, students must be in Desert Heights uniform, and social distancing will be in place.

  • Vulnerable students include: Special Education, English-Language Learners, McKinney Vento or Foster Care students
  • Essential workers are defined as: healthcare, childcare/teachers, critical community service workers

If your student falls into one of these categories and requires on site supervision email your administrator by August 12th at 5:00pm.
