YUCCA MIDDLE SCHOOL TO RETURN TO IN-PERSON LEARNING
Yucca Middle School will resume in-person attendance to complete end-of-year assessments Tuesday – Thursday, May 25 – 27, 2021. Until that time, students will continue to attend in Remote Learning Mode. On Tuesday, May 11, the state issued a mandatory closure, ordering Yucca into Remote Learning Mode for 14 days, after four positive COVID-19 rapid response test results were documented in a two-week period. The 14-day closure period will conclude May 24, three days before the school year ends on Thursday, May 27.
The District has made the decision to continue with previously scheduled end-of-year assessments, which are vital to calibrating student competencies as they proceed to the next grade. These assessments will provide valuable information to better understand the overall academic needs of students for summer programs and next school year. Families are encouraged to ensure their students return to school for these final three days so they can conclude the 2020 – 2021 year with the traditional end-of-year experience.
