Governor Ducey's current order allows schools to begin on-campus classes on August 17th, but that is "aspirational" and may be moved back. North Pointe's 2020-2021 school year begins online for all students on August 3, 2020 and will be online at least through August 14th.
During the 2020-2021 school year, North Pointe will provide online classes for any enrolled student who requests online instruction, even while we offer on-campus classes. Please note that the online classes will be more structured than they were in the spring, with attendance requirements and academic standards that align with our on-campus classes. The online classes will be structured for students to be able to seamlessly transition back into the classroom.
As soon as we are allowed to open on-campus, our goal is to provide our traditional classes on our traditional schedule for all students who are comfortable being at school. However, if the majority of our families choose on-campus learning and we need to keep desks 3-6 feet apart, we'll need to get creative and stagger on-campus schedules. If we need to reduce class sizes, one possibility is for half the students to be on-campus M/W and online T/TH/F and the other half to be on-campus T/TH and online M/W/F. Before we decide if a staggered schedule is necessary, we need to know how many students want to attend on-campus classes as soon as they are offered.
Therefore, please complete this form to notify North Pointe whether your student will be attending on-campus or online for the first quarter of the 2020-2021 school year (from August 3 - October 2nd). This is also where you can request a Chromebook for the first two weeks of school or for the first quarter (if you select online learning). Please fill out one form per student (not one per family).
