Civano Community School

Revisiting COVID Guidelines
The cornerstone of mitigating the spread of COVID19 on campus is community cooperation. You and everyone in your home are a team -- if anyone is sick or displaying symptoms, we ask that all students in the family stay home and away from school, and call the office. Nicole or I will discuss the situation with you, and following the District's guidelines, determine when your child can return to school. The District has created a "What Happens If...?" video you can watch HERE. In-depth information covering all things District-related about COVID is also available HERE.
Please also have a plan in place to pick up you child in the event he or she begins to display these symptoms at school.
Please keep your child home and away from school and call the office if your child or anyone in the home is experiencing the following:
- Fever of 100F or higher
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle of body aches
- Headaches
- New loss of smell or taste
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
In light of everything we are doing to prevent an outbreak at school, your cooperation with the District's mitigation plan is very much appreciated. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 879-1702.
Many Thanks!
Tax Credits
At Civano, we use tax credits to fund our art and music/drama classes. As the year comes to an end, please take advantage of public school tax credits. If you owe taxes to the state of Arizona, your contribution will offset what you owe dollar-for-dollar. If you give more than what you owe, you’ll get the extra back as a tax refund. It’s really an amazing opportunity! While none of us enjoy paying taxes, with tax credits you can know that at least some of your tax dollars go directly to benefit young people in our school!
Contribute online https://vailtaxcredits.org or via check in the school office.
Giving online? Please select “Greatest Need” at the bottom of the page and when directed to choose a school, select “Civano Community School”.
Public school tax credit gifts for the 2020 tax year may be made right up to April 15, 2021.
Couples filing jointly may take a credit of up to $400 and individuals up to $200.
Holiday Food Drive
Each holiday season, St. Rita’s in the Desert distributes holiday food baskets to those in need in our Vail, Rita Ranch and Corona de Tucson Community. Last year, over 600 families were able to enjoy a delicious holiday meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas because of the Holiday Basket program.
We are asking for your help to fill these baskets!
Items requested include Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Cornbread mix, Cranberry Sauce, Green Beans, Corn, Yams/Sweet Potatoes, Gravy and Brownies, and/or $10 gift cards to one of the local grocery stores as each basket is provided a giftcard to purchase their holiday turkey.

Lottery Information Meetings
Toys for Tots
The Transportation Department has partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves to bring this program to our school district and make a difference for children this holiday season.
Donation boxes are located inside the District Transportation office for anyone to stop by and leave a new and unwrapped toy. Donations will be accepted from anyone in our community up through December 20th. School personnel may give their toy donation to any of our drivers as they are dropping off or picking up students at school sites. Drivers will bring the donation back to Transportation and place it in the box for you.
Please see the attached flyer and feel free to download and copy it for your workplace, or to share with anyone who may be interested in participating in this program.
If you have any questions, please contact me at Jerry Brown 520-879-2454, or Patty McKnight at 520-879-2451.
