Dear Mattos Community,

Our staff is committed to supporting you through this unprecedented statewide Executive Order to Shelter in Place and in the transition to distance learning via Educate Everywhere. Here are the actions put in place to make sure our students continue to learn at the highest levels amidst these circumstances. The plans will evolve as we continue to understand best methods for maintaining personalized learning as per our Learning Community model, and flex with the varying needs of our families. It is our goal that even at a distance, we don't feel too far away. We will rise from this. After all, we are the Phoenix.

Best,

Dr. Vo-Felbinger
