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.

Dear Sun Valley HS Families,
In accordance with orders from Arizona’s Governor Doug Ducey, our campus will be closed to students March 16-27 in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
We care deeply about how this decision impacts our students and families. We have prepared contingency plans to meet the needs of our students, providing meals each day for those who rely on our campuses for breakfast and lunch. And, should the situation change, resulting in a need for closure beyond March 27, we are working on plans to deliver instruction remotely, so that your child continues to receive academic instruction and support.
Together, we will face the challenges this pandemic brings with grit and perseverance. And, together, we will emerge stronger than ever.
In the meantime, please know we are here to support you and your child. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you have. My email is: Telleny.Gilliam@LeonaGroup.com. You can reach me by phone at 480-497-4800.

De acuerdo con las órdenes del gobernador de Arizona, Doug Ducey, nuestro campus permanecerá cerrado para estudiantes del 16 al 27 de marzo en un esfuerzo por minimizar la propagación de COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
Nos preocupamos profundamente por cómo esta decisión impacta a nuestros estudiantes y familias. Hemos preparado planes de contingencia para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes, proporcionando comidas cada día para aquellos que dependen de nuestros campus para el desayuno y el almuerzo. Y, si la situación cambia, resultando en una necesidad de cierre más allá del 27 de marzo, estamos trabajando en planes para impartir instrucción de forma remota, para que su hijo continúe recibiendo instrucción y apoyo académico.
Juntos, enfrentaremos los desafíos que esta pandemia trae con agallas y perseverancia. Y, juntos, saldremos más fuertes que nunca.
