Arizona Parental Rights Handbook

In the 2020 Arizona Legislative Session, the Legislature established ARS § 15- 249.16 which requires the ADE to establish and post a statutory handbook of parental rights, which has been done. Additionally, each school district and charter school must prominently post a link to the statutory handbook of parental rights on a publicly accessible portion of their website.
The statutory handbook can be accessed at the following link:

Dear Roadrunner Families,

I hope that you are in good health and spirits. Thank you so much for your support and patience this quarter to help your child be successful with online learning.

As we move into the second quarter of the school year, we are cautiously transitioning to include some in-person instruction for families who have requested this. At this time, we will have only two learning options, the Online Model and the Hybrid Model. Please read the following information carefully. Afterwards, please click on the link below to fill out a quick survey about which of the two options will be your preferred model of instruction for your child(ren).

Beginning October 19, each student will participate in only one of the 2 models:

Online Only Model: Students will attend classes online with their teacher.
Hybrid Model: Students will be divided into two groups (A and B) and will be assigned to attend two days of school per week in person. Group A will attend Mondays and Tuesdays only, and Group B will attend Thursday and Fridays only. Students can only attend school on their designated days. (Parents or guardians will be required to sign a waiver in order for their child to attend school in-person).

Procedures for Safety - In-person students will be expected to:

Wear a face mask as part of their uniform at all times (except during designated structured “mask-free” breaks)
Frequent hand washing
Student desks will be six feet apart from each other
Students’ temperature will be checked before entering the school building. If they have a temperature of 100 degrees or higher OR if they are showing any symptoms typically associated with COVID-19, they will not be allowed to remain in the school.
Parents, this is how you can help us by prescreening your child. Please do not send your child to school if your child is exhibiting COVID-like symptoms (such as cough, runny nose, fever, etc) or if they have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID.

Buen día familias de Mary L. Welty,

Espero se encuentren en buena salud y ánimo. Muchas gracias por su apoyo y paciencia este trimestre ayudando a su hijo/s a tener éxito con el aprendizaje en línea.

A medida que avanzamos hacia el segundo trimestre del año escolar, estamos haciendo la transición con cautela para incluir instrucción en persona para las familias que lo han solicitado. En este momento, solo tendremos dos opciones de aprendizaje, el modelo en línea y el modelo híbrido. Por favor lea la siguiente información cuidadosamente. Luego, haga clic en el enlace a continuación para completar una encuesta rápida sobre cuál de las dos opciones será su modelo de instrucción preferido para su hijo/s.

A partir del 19 de octubre, cada alumno participará en solo uno de los 2 modelos:

Modelo solo en línea: los estudiantes asistirán a clases en línea con su maestro.
Modelo híbrido: los estudiantes se dividirán en dos grupos (A y B) y serán asignados para asistir dos días de la semana en persona a clase. El grupo A asistirá solo los lunes y martes, y el grupo B solo asistirá los jueves y viernes. Los estudiantes solo pueden asistir a la escuela en sus días designados. (Los padres o tutores deberán firmar un documento de renuncia legal para que su hijo/s pueda asistir a la escuela en persona).

Procedimientos de Seguridad

Estudiantes presenciales deberán de:

Usar un cubrebocas como parte de su uniforme en todo momento (excepto durante los descansos estructurados designados "sin cubreboca")
Lavarse frecuente de manos
Los escritorios de los estudiantes estarán separados por dos metros.
Se revisará la temperatura de los estudiantes antes de ingresar al edificio escolar. Si tienen temperatura de 100 grados o más, o si muestran algún síntoma típicamente asociado con COVID-19, no se les permitirá permanecer en la escuela.
Padres, ayúdenos evaluando previamente a su hijo/s. Por favor, no envíe a su hijo a la escuela si su hijo/s presentan síntomas similares a COVID (como tos, secreción nasal, fiebre, etc.) o si ha estado expuesto a alguien que dio positivo en COVID.
