ATTENTION Parents/Families

Updated Information as of  4-1-2020

Dear CJSD Parents/Families,

On Monday, as you know, Governor Ducey announced AZ public school closures through the end of 2019-’20 school year. He also issued a “Stay at Home Order” limiting residents from leaving their homes except for “essential activities”.  While many things remain uncertain, we can now move forward and plan ahead for the remainder of the school year.  You can be certain that the staff and faculty of Clarkdale-Jerome School remain committed to our students, families, and community.

Beginning today, April 1^st, we are implementing the following:

Cancellations:  All athletic events, field trips and other scheduled events are cancelled for the remainder of the school year.

Office Availability:  We will still be available via phone only, Mon.-Thur. each day from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.  Please call us during those times with any questions you might have.  Campus is closed on Fridays.

Meal Distribution:  We will still offer a “grab ‘n go” meal pickup at the drop off zone in front of the school, Mon.-Friday from 9:00 am – 11:00 am with both a breakfast and lunch.  This will be for any student in need.  We will still deliver to the Jerome Park at 9:30 am and Patio Town (Fiesta/Broadway) at 10:00 am.

Education Packets/Online Learning:  Many of the teachers have already contacted students and families and are implementing online learning.  We will have packets ready for those students who do not have internet and computer capabilities.  Those packets will also be available Mon.-Friday from 9:00-11:00 am in the front of the school where meals can be picked up.  Please follow up with your teacher if your child has not connected with them.  Our goal is for each teacher to have a “two-way” connection with their students (middle school teachers will work w/their homeroom students) on a weekly basis.

Internet/Computers:  If you do not have internet capabilities, please let your teacher know.  In addition, we will continue to have chromebooks for checkout, so please call during our office hours (listed above) to arrange for pickup.

8^th Grade Promotion Ceremony:   We have yet to determine if 8^th grade promotion ceremony will take place.  This will depend on the circumstances and we will make that determination by May 1^st. 

Social/Emotional Needs:  Please know that our counselor, Rolande Karn, is available via email at rkarn@cjsd3.net.  If you need anything with regard to resources or just someone to talk to, please call on her.

Many items still need to be resolved and we will provide clarification in the coming days. As always, we will communicate via Facebook, our website and automated emails/phone calls.

Thank you and be safe!

Danny Brown, Superintendent and  Steve Doerksen, Principal
