Dear Mattos Community,

Our staff is committed to supporting you through this unprecedented global pandemic and continue with quality education using distance learning until we can safely return to school. Here are the actions put in place to make sure our students continue to learn at the highest levels amidst these circumstances. The plans embed 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
