Covid Mitigation 2023-2024

 In order to keep our students and staff safe we will continue to do many of the mitigation strategies incorporated last year. All students return to school for full-time instruction beginning August 2, 2023. We will continue to be in-person during the 2023- 2024 school year as long as public health data continues to support this. Our plan contains mitigation strategies and specific monitoring, containment, and the ability to once again move to remote online learning if that is necessary. This plan may be changed and modified to meet current public health recommendations and/or mandates as we move forward. Decisions will be made based on the best available information and in coordination with the ADE, Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), and Cochise County Health Services (CCHS) and in accordance with state statutes, executive orders from the Governor, and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  

Operational Practices

• In-person, full day, all week instruction.
• Masking is no longer required for students or staff, though it is highly recommended as the new Delta variant of Covid – 19 is much more transmissible. We do encourage all non-vaccinated individuals, students and staff to continue to wear a mask. 
• Visitors required to wear a mask is optional but recommended.
• Social distancing will be maximized to the extent possible.
• Continued rigorous cleaning and disinfection of all surfaces and rooms will continue
• Hand washing and sanitizing will continue.
• Daily temperature checks will continue
• Water fill stations will be open. We will provide students and staff with their own water bottles.
• Continued food service of breakfast and lunch.
• Changes to quarantine times based on vaccine status and ADHS guidelines.

Parents should continue to follow symptom guidelines when their child should stay home:

• Fever or chills
