Good evening families,
Many of you have now read that the Governor issued a new Executive Order today for all schools to open for in-person learning starting on March 15 or after a school’s scheduled spring break. This may cause you to wonder what this means for Phoenix Modern.
At Phoenix Modern, our scheduled spring break is April 5-12, and we have already been laying the ground work for bringing learners back to campus on April13. We are also developing plans to provide an opportunity for learners in our youngest studios (Ants, Hummingbirds, and Meerkats) to return to campus earlier in March, while also continuing to offer a fully remote model for families who need it. With diverse community needs, this requires some thinking and thoughtful plans.
We have been working very hard all year to prepare for a safe transition back to campus and have considered your input as part of this decision. We have implemented mitigation strategies, served those who needed a safe place on campus, and have supported our staff in receiving vaccines. In the last few weeks, we have also been monitoring the community spread of COVID and preparing the timeline and logistics for returning to campus for our community. Please know that we have been planning with a balance of urgency and safety.
We look forward to discussing our proposed plans and hear your feedback at our Town Hall next week on Tuesday at 4:30 PM.
Best,
Andrew
