The school district posed direct questions to the Mohave County Health Department on Aug 17, 2020. View their responses and the latest County Public Health Data for Schools.

District Reopening Plan update 09-25-20
All elementary schools WILL OPEN for FULL ATTENDANCE Oct 12th, 2020.
Fall Break Oct 5th - Oct 9th, 2020
Our in-person learning students will return to a full schedule including specials classes, lunch, and recess. We will continue to focus on the mitigation strategies that reduce the transmission of COVID19 such as handwashing, extra sanitizing, and social distancing to the greatest extent possible.
Students and staff will continue to be required to wear a face-covering until the Arizona Health Department removes this requirement (please see Executive Order 2020-51).
Secondary schools WILL OPEN in a hybrid model on Oct 12th, 2020.
Fall Break Oct 5th - Oct 9th, 2020
Hybrid learning is an opportunity for your student to attend all classes in person two days per week. Students will receive academic instruction from their teachers for two consecutive days.
The other three at-home days will have assigned independent practice, reading, and/or writing accessible in Google Classroom and sent home in paper form.
In planning for a safe return, the high school will follow a Hybrid model, to limit the number of students in our hallways and classrooms.
Students will have the option to attend the hybrid model, participate in a modified version of distance learning, or utilize the online SchoolsPLP platform.
Students will be divided into two different groups according to their last name.
Group A: last names lettered A-K, Group B: last names lettered L-Z
To better assist families with multiple siblings in the same household with a different last name, they will follow the oldest sibling's Group assignment.
