Dear Mendoza Families,

I hope your family is safe, healthy, and enjoying your summer.

I wanted to reach out to you and share more specific details about the start of our 2020-2021 school year. We are excited to start working with your children again!

I know this Covid virus has created a difficult set of circumstances for everyone. We all want to be back on campus with students, but until it is safe to do so, we will be starting our school year remotely. We look forward to working with you and your children this year to make this a safe and positive learning experience. We have made a lot of positive changes to our online learning environment so it will be a more meaningful experience for your child. Thank you for continuing to be flexible this year with the many changes, and thank you for your support so we can work together to support our children as best as we can.

Students will return to campus when the state and district has determined it is safe to return to campus for in person classroom instruction. When this change happens, I will share with you the safeguards that have been put into place to protect your child(ren).
In the future when we get close to transitioning to Modified In Person learning on campus, I will communicate with you all the specific changes on our campus and how we are doing to do our very best to keep our students and staff safe.

I want to thank you for all the support you have shown during this closure. I look forward to working with all our families and students in the upcoming year. Please know we will continue to make our students learning the top priority and we will provide as much support as we can during this time.

I will continue to communicate updates with you through email and on our Mendoza webpage.

I hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your summer!
