We have a new board approved School Calendar as of yesterday July 14th. There are 2 Virtual days per month starting in September. These will be used to prepare us in case of another extended school closure due to Covid-19. We will have 2 school days in August (the 21st and 28th) to train students on how to use our online platform of Google Classroom while being at school. However, starting in September on those days highlighted yellow on the calendar students will not be at school but will be required to complete the classwork given those days through our online platform or via paper packets that will be handed out the Thursday before. We are planning on being back in school on August 13th and will have our "Return to Learn" plan posted next week. Below is a link to access the school Calendar: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/732267/2020-2021_Calendar_with_Distance_Learning_built_in.pdf
Athletes will need to get a sports physical in order to participate in practices and games for the upcoming school year. We are working on creating a sport packet that is completely digital but you will need to print and take the physical form to your physician and bring back to your coach. This is the link for the form: http://www.ossaa.net/docs/2016-17/MiscForms/MF_2016-17_PhysicalForm.pdf
Thank you for your support of Navajo Public Schools this school year. Emergency distance learning in April and May required a monumental team effort between our teachers, staff and families. I am proud of what we accomplished by working together.
We plan to return to school in the fall and are excited to welcome our students and teachers back into our buildings. However, it is important for us to understand your preferences with regard to the upcoming school year. Your input is critical as we work toward putting plans in place that accommodate the wide variety of needs our students, staff members and their families may have. Navajo Public Schools plans to reopen at this time as scheduled for the 2020-2021 school year. We are focused on the safest and most practical return options and that is where we need our families help. We will continue to monitor CDC and state recommendations due to the changing nature of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Please login to your students google classroom account and take the survey as it will help us plan for the upcoming school year. Please have it completed by Monday July 6th. Please complete only one survey per household.
No plan for reopening for the 2020-2021 school year has been approved at this time. The questions in the survey are designed to help us understand parents preferences as we plan for coming back to school.
