Phoenix Facts
Don Tyson School of Innovation - September 1, 2020
Phoenix Fly First Week Back!
The first few days focused on instruction for the new procedures needed for this school year. All students participated in lessons and activities learning about proper mask etiquette, procedures for cafeterias, restrooms, hallways, and zones to promote social distancing. Student IDs, Chromebooks, and masks purchased by the District were distributed.
We are also arming our students with the tools they need if for some reason they must learn from home. Students learned about expectations for students, as well as teachers, and given a mainstay of tools that would be used if, at any time, off campus learning is required.
By all of us working together, we will have the safest, most accessible, engaging learning opportunities possible at Don Tyson School of Innovation!
