Dear Leona Group Students and Families,
Today, Governor Ducey announced that school campuses will remain closed through the end of this school year, as well as issuing a stay at home order. We want you to have clear information about what this order means, alleviating any concerns you may have as to how this impacts you, our schools, and your continuing access to education.
Here is language directly from the Governor’s announcement today: “On March 27, Governor Ducey signed legislation to support schools during closures, ensure school letter grades are held harmless, suspend statewide testing requirements, ensure school days are not extended into the summer, require learning opportunities for students to continue, and ensure teachers and staff see no disruption in pay as a result of COVID-19.”
The order issued today continues this policy. As a result:
The Governor’s stay at home order encourages all Arizonans to “stay home, stay healthy and stay connected.” We echo this sentiment, encouraging our students and families to take every possible precaution in remaining healthy.
Governor Ducey’s order also specifically states that essential services such as grocery stores, pharmacies and schools will continue to operate. This means our campuses will continue to offer distance learning for all students.
We understand these are uncertain times. Please know that we are committed to our students and families. Of that, you can be certain.
Together, we will keep putting students first, doing everything we can to meet their needs academically, physically and emotionally. And, together, we will get through this, stronger than ever.
Sincerely,
William Coats, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer

Estimados estudiantes y familias de Leona Group,
Hoy, el Gobernador Ducey anunció que todas las escuelas del estado permanecerán cerradas hasta el final de este año escolar, además de emitir una orden de estancia en casa. Queremos que tenga la información clara sobre lo que significa esta orden, y aclarando cualquier inquietud que pueda tener sobre cómo esto le afecta a usted, a nuestras escuelas y su acceso continuo a la educación.
Esto es lo que anunció directamente el Gobernador hoy: “El 27 de marzo, el Gobernador Ducey firmó una legislación para apoyar a las escuelas durante el cierre, garantizar que las calificaciones escolares se mantengan sin consecuencias, suspender los requisitos de exámenes estatales, garantizar que los días escolares no se extiendan hasta el verano, exigir oportunidades de aprendizaje para que los estudiantes continúen, y asegurar que los maestros y el personal no vean interrupciones en el pago como resultado de COVID-19".
La orden emitida hoy continúa con esta póliza. Como resultado:
- Todas las escuelas de Leona continuarán con educación remota para nuestros estudiantes. Su escuela se comunicará directamente con usted con respecto a horarios específicos, cómo acceder a la tecnología y otros detalles.
- Todos las escuelas de Leona continuarán proporcionando desayuno y almuerzo a cualquier niño/a 18 años o menor y conexiones a recursos de la comunidad local. Por favor, consulte con su escuela para obtener detalles específicos.
- Entendemos que este anuncio afecta las promociones, ceremonias de graduación, y otras celebraciones de fin de año. Tenga la seguridad de que estamos trabajando en planes para tener celebraciones virtuales y también reuniones en persona en una fecha posterior cuando sea seguro hacerlo.
- Nuestros esfuerzos colectivos se mantendrán enfocados en asegurar que cada estudiante sea apoyado lo mejor que podamos durante este evento sin precedentes.
La orden de permanencia en el hogar del gobernador anima a todos los residentes de Arizona a "quedarse en casa, mantenerse saludables y mantenerse conectados." Les pedimos a nuestros estudiantes y familias a tomar todas las precauciones posibles para mantenerse saludables.
La orden del gobernador Ducey también establece específicamente que los servicios esenciales como supermercados, farmacias, y escuelas continuarán operando. Esto significa que nuestras escuelas continuarán ofreciendo educación remota para todos los estudiantes.
Entendemos que estos son tiempos inciertos. Por favor sepa que estamos aquí para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes y a nuestras familias. De eso, pueden estar seguros.
Juntos, seguiremos poniendo a los estudiantes primero, haciendo todo lo posible para satisfacer sus necesidades académicas, físicas y emocionales. Y, juntos, superaremos esto, más fuerte que nunca.
Sinceramente,
William Coats, Ph.D.
Director Ejecutivo
