Aguila News

As we navigate the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the mandated school closure, we know our students are anxious to get back to school. The intent of Aguila Elementary School is to reopen instruction when it is safe for our students and staff. We will use the distance learning plan as our alternative form of instructional delivery until schools reopen. 

Below, we have detailed what you can expect through the distance learning plan. We have provided a general plan and protocols. Your child’s teacher will provide more detail for you and your child with information that is specific to their grade level. 

We understand that some families do not have access to a device or the internet. We are currently working on providing students in need with these resources. As soon as we have the equipment available, we will notify parents of how to check out a device. 

Thank you for your patience and support through these challenging times. 

For more information, you can read the entire distance learning plan below.

• Distance Learning Plan

Aguila Elementary School District has prepared a comprehensive plan to mitigate risk of exposure to COVID-19 in our schools. The document below contains detailed information about Aguila's safety protocols for the 2020–2021 school year. For areas where the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has provided specific guidance for schools, that guidance (published May 19, 2020, updated July 23, 2020) is included as a reference for your convenience so you may see how Aguila's plans are aligned with CDC recommendations.

• Mitigation Plan

I am writing to share information regarding our plans for a safe and healthy return to school. At the Governing Board meeting on August 12, 2020, the board unanimously approved distance learning through October 9 for the 2020-2021 school year.  In order to ensure continuity of learning for our students, distance learning will continue until further notice.

We understand as much as anyone the value of in-person learning, but the Aguila Elementary School District has an obligation to our students, staff, and our community to do our part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We also understand that distance learning may not be the favored solution, but it is the safest and a way to ensure quality instruction to our students.
