Greetings to our Mesa Families! The Central Consolidated School District  Board of Education and Superintendent have approved students in grades  Pre-K to 5th to return to school in a hybrid learning model. This model  pertains to students whose parents/guardians have requested their student(s) return to the traditional classroom learning atmosphere. Under stand that all other students will continue learning remotely and safety is  of the utmost for our Mesa Community! 

Our school plan for re-entry is scheduled in “phases” as follows: Phase I is  designated for students with an IEP, Level I performance on ISIP/IMSSA,  and/or At-Risk concerns only. Hybrid Re-entry for Phase I will begin on  February 16th to March 12th, roughly four weeks. If all goes well, we will  

bring in the remainder of students for Phase II that will commence on  Monday, March 22nd to the end of the school year. We have (68) hybrid  students at this time that we confirmed on January 15th. The CCSD  Transportation Department will be contacting families with students identified for Phase I this week so touch base with your child’ teacher for their  start date and attendance confirmation. Please understand our plan for  hybrid re-entry is subject to change based on District, State, and Navajo  Nation guidance.  

On another note, we will be providing a Parent Education Session on Mon day, February 8th at 6pm entitled Parenting in a Pandemic. The Zoom  Link ID and Passcode can be obtained from your child’s teacher. This session is part 1 of a 2 part series. The next session will be held on Monday,  March 22nd as we return from Spring Break and pickup packets on that  day as well. We will have door prizes and gift cards at the end of each session and we hope you can join us! More information is provided on page  12 of this newsletter.  

In conclusion, our teachers, support staff, and service providers have been  working diligently to deliver the best instruction and services to all our  students, and we thank you for your support. We will continue to build on  what we have learned as we move to this phase of our re-entry plan. Together, with the support of our families and the community, we will work  to ensure a successful and safe transition for all. Feel free to contact your  child’s teacher or Principal Lee should you have any questions or concerns.
