For students and families who choose hybrid learning, students will be divided into two cohorts based on last name. Those with a last name beginning with A-L will attend school in person on Monday and Tuesday, while students whose last name begins with M-Z will attend school in person on Thursday and Friday.
On days that students are not in person they will be working on assignments through the Canvas Learning Management System.
Students and parents do have the option to stay in distance learning. Families who choose this option may want to consider enrolling in Yuma Online Distance Academy (YODA).
Teens who do opt to return to campus must sign a COVID-19 waiver. The waiver is available on each ParentVUE account. Parents can also find it on the YUHSD website.
