The Official Perry High School Newsletter- Week of August 30
Welcome to the Puma PawPrint! This weekly newsletter will share all of the exciting things happening on our campus, upcoming events, and things you, as our community, may want to know. So watch for our weekly updates every Monday!
Last Week in Review
Senior Sunrise Class of 2022
Unified Football!
We are impressed, Mrs. Decristofaro!
Mrs. D was invited to teach an art class for the Vision Kids program through the City of Chandler in the Visions Art Gallery downtown. Mrs. D had to apply through a video clip and propose a lesson.
Vision Kids liked her Watercolor lesson, so they reached out and requested that she teach the lesson twice; once in English and once in Spanish.
The students ranged in age from 6-16 and were allowed to participate in the lesson for free. The Vision Art Gallery provided the art supplies needed.
The students who participated were phenomenal and did a great job during the Zoom lesson!

Chandler Unified Mitigation Plan- Update Related to Quarantine
August 20, 2021
Dear CUSD Families and Staff,
We are writing to inform you that the Maricopa County Department of Public Health has notified local school districts that they have the delegated authority to determine which contacts must be quarantined. This is outlined in the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 36, Chapter 6, Article 2 (36-624) and Arizona Administrative Code (R9-6-361)
Maricopa County Department of Public Health continues to follow CDC and Arizona Department of Public Health Services guidelines which defines close contact of a COVID-19 case as being any person within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more during a 24-hour period, regardless of whether masks were worn. Effective Wednesday, August 26, 2021 students who have close contact with an individual who has a confirmed case of COVID-19 and who are not fully vaccinated or have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days are to quarantine (stay home) for up to 10 days, per county mandate.
Students may shorten the duration of a quarantine in three ways:
Quarantine may end after 7 days if no symptoms have occurred and a documented negative result has been provided to the school. If choosing to return after seven days, the test sample must have been collected at least five days after exposure.
If your child has been fully vaccinated and you voluntarily submit proof to the school. If 14 days have passed since your second dose in a two-dose series (or two weeks after a single dose vaccine), you do not have to quarantine.
If your child previously tested positive for COVID-19 by PCR or antigen test, recovered and then completed his/her isolation period in the last 90 days.
As a safety measure please keep your child home if ill or shows Covid-19 symptoms. We continue to highly recommend face coverings as an additional layer of mitigation. For updates and continuous information, click here to view our mitigation plan in its entirety.
Thank you for your continued support.
