The Marana Unified School District will provide free on-site learning opportunities and support services for students who need a place to go during the day as required by Executive Order 2020-41. The intention of the Governor's Order is that the District serve the more vulnerable students in our District, including those with special education services, English learners, and those in care of the Arizona Department of Child Safety, including Foster Care. On-site Support Services will begin on Monday, August 17. Space is limited due to the importance of optimizing the use of available staff and resources, and the critical health protocols that need to be safely maintained. In order to plan appropriately for On-site Support Services at each school site, the District needs to know approximately how many families will require support services. Families who have the resources to adequately support their students' remote learning at home are asked, if possible, to refrain from requesting this capacity-driven service. These targeted On-site Support Services will be offered to the extent that physical distancing and mitigation strategies, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health officials, can be ensured. After carefully reviewing the On-site Support Services webpage for details, please complete the On-site Support Services Application. A separate application needs to be submitted for each student. Please note: This is not a reservation for On-site Support Services. This is an application to obtain numbers for planning purposes (school capacity, staffing, etc.). The application is due by Wednesday, August 12, at 10:00pm. Admittance to On-site Support Services will be reviewed based on need, and families will be notified by the end of day on Friday, August 14 for services beginning August 17. The application will remain available on the website. Once approved, the parent/guardian is required to sign the attached MUSD COVID-19 Parental Acknowledgement and Disclosure form in order for your student to participate in on-site support services. A separate form is required for each student. The completed form(s) must be turned in to the school office on or before the date a student is approved to attend. On-site Support Services is only available during school hours for the time period in which MUSD is providing remote/distance learning to all students in order to comply with the governor's Executive Orders 2020-41, 2020-44, and 2020-51, Arizona: Open for Learning. When MUSD is able to open its schools and provide in-person classroom learning, On-site Support Services will no longer be available. Thank you. |
