Dear Alvord Family,

Last night, Thursday, July 9, 2020, the Alvord Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the Reopening School Plan for the 2020-21 school year.

Families in AUSD will choose between two models: (1) Hybrid, a blend of in-person and distance learning with no more than 50% of our students present on campus at any given time; and (2) Full Distance, with no in-person instruction, fully remote. The choice is yours. Regardless of the choice families make, students can participate in all extra-curricular activities such as sports, marching band, etc..., when the time comes that those activities become available.

Alvord's governance team recognizes it's a personal decision based on many, many factors, including your level of comfort with the models. We are pleased to be able to offer our families a choice. Look for a survey this coming week asking you to decide so we can plan ahead. Every family must decide one way or the other for planning and staffing purposes.

View a slide show of the presentation on our web site here: https://www.alvordschools.org/Page/12327. I will have a video presentation from last night's meeting posted on our web site as well, in English and Spanish, hopefully by the end of day today.

On Sunday, in my weekly message, I will provide details as well as answers to the many questions the Board of Education, staff, and I have received since the decision was made last night. Please look for it on Sunday night as usual, at 6:00 pm.

Respectfully,

In partnership,

Allan Mucerino
