Director's Message

Dear Parents,

As you know, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has issued an executive order that all classrooms in Arizona remain closed for in-person learning until August 17^th.  This date is a full two weeks beyond our scheduled start date.  We had two options to consider. 

First, we can delay any educational services until approved to begin classes on August 17^th (if approval is given at that time).  If that were the case, we would then have to make-up those days at a later date sometime during the school year.

Second, we can begin distance learning until such time as we are allowed to hold in-person classes once again.  There are no make-up days required if this option is chosen.

Young Scholar’s Academy has chosen to begin the school year on August 3^rd, as scheduled.  All students will be assigned to their new teacher and are expected to log-in on August 3^rd to begin their classes.  The State Department of Education will require students to log-in and participate in classes, just as if they were in physical attendance.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT for your child’s learning as well as for school funding.  The teachers are putting great effort into lesson planning (they learned much during the instant forced closure earlier this year!).

Preschool classes will not begin until we have permission to physically attend classes on campus. 

In the very near future, emails will be sent with additional information.  Please keep watching for updates on the YSA page (ysacs.org) and the YSA Facebook page or call Mrs. Eddy or Mrs. Elias at 928-704-1100.

For those of you needing to check-out computers, please call Mrs. Eddy at 928-704-1100 to schedule a pick-up time.  In addition, your child’s teacher may attempt to contact you with further guidance.

Although this is not how we would prefer to start our school year, we, as a YSA family, will work together to give our students and families the best education possible!

Sincerely,
