This school year, the State of Arizona has decided to move forward with state mandated testing for our Sophomore and Junior students. State testing this year will provide us with valuable information to address the challenges that occurred due to the coronavirus pandemic. The data collected during the exams can help us understand student needs as we return to school next year. We encourage all students, whether remote or in-person learners, to join us ON CAMPUS for their testing days.
We know it has been a very difficult school year for many of our students and their families, but we believe in the resilience of our community and truly believe that the data collected from these tests will help all our Maya Strong students in the Fall. ALL tests will be in person. That means, even those who have chosen to be fully virtual in Block 4 need to come to campus on their designated testing date. We understand that this requirement may be very challenging for some families. Please contact Mr. Welsh, if you need support with this criteria so we can come up with a plan. As always, our number one focus and priority is the education and safety of our students. We will do our best to meet the state requirements of testing all students while still being as safe as possible. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 602-242-3442 or stop by our office so that we can assist you further. Please review the schedule below to view your students scheduled date.

Dear MAYA STRONG Families!
There is no higher priority than the safety and health of our students. During this extraordinary time, we demonstrate this through our enhanced cleaning protocols, physical distancing, face-covering policies, and hand sanitation practices. We also demonstrate this through prompt communication with the Maricopa County Health Department, which is the cause of this letter today. The Maricopa County Health Department dashboard has indicated that our zip code has been identified as a substantial risk area. Substantial risk means we have more than 100 cases OR greater than 10% positivity in the zip code that we serve at Maya High School. Based on this information, if our school is in a substantial risk category for two weeks in a row, the dashboard recommends that we return to virtual learning. We are at the point in time where the data reflects a substantial risk and therefore will return to virtual classes only beginning Monday, 11/16/2020. PLEASE NOTE: Maya High School has not had a documented case on campus, this decision is based on the recommendation of the Maricopa County Health Department. IMPORTANT: Students who need on-campus support and a focused workspace are still able to come to campus. MAYA STRONG Teachers and Instructional Staff will be on hand to support them in their learning. Students may be able to receive direct support from certain teachers and others through Google-Meet video conference only. As always as a #MayaFamily and community we will continue to strive to be MAYA STRONG; by being ALL IN, accepting ANY CHALLENGE and making NO EXCUSES! We invite you to do the same alongside your student, their teachers and staff! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. WE ARE MAYA! John Anderson, Principal |
