Phase Update for Desert Heights

We are back in Phase 3 on February 16th! We are very excited to have students back on campus and in their chosen learning modality. As a staff we have agreed that we want to be able to maintain Phase 3 for the remainder of the year, which is why it was so important to give the staff a bit of time to get the vaccination if they chose to do so. Those staff members who have gotten the vaccination will not be required to quarantine in close contact situations unless they are experiencing symptoms. This will mean more stability in staffing and greater chances of being able to maintain in person learning. Please help is make this happen by doing your part! 

Thank you to all of the families in our community who have reached out in support of our staff and offered to help in any way they can! We are very grateful for your kindness. patience and support. This year has been the hardest we've all experienced, but together, we can handle anything!

Important Reminders Phase 3

Parent Choice: Students who chose virtual will remain virtual. 

Masks: Due to the Governor's Executive Order requiring masks, we must still require them in person. Even those who have received the vaccination are still required to wear masks. Please be sure to send extras with your child, they often break or get dirty. All of our families have done a great job with this to this point, so thank you!!

Dress Code: Please be sure we are back to full uniform and dress code upon return to Phase 3. Black or Khaki dress bottoms, white, burgundy or black polo shirt, leggings can be worn under dressed or skirts but not as a bottom. Jackets worn in the classroom must be uniform color. 

Materials Needed: Please send your child with all supplies they brought from school to home for virtual learning; water bottles (2), snack for snack-recess break, extra mask, lunch or order lunch by deadline.

If you are returning in person on February 16th and have a school issued device, we will need you to return it to the tech department. The team sent a sign up out for this, please be sure you schedule a time. These devices are needed on campus for testing etc.
