YSD-1  COVID-19 Update 3 24 2020

Our teachers and staff have been working this week to prepare for instruction to resume on Monday March 30th.  This has been a complicated challenge and we ask for your patience as the plan is being rolled out.  

Messaging will begin shortly from each building with directions and schedules  for parents/students to pick up their necessary materials (locker or desk contents, books etc) as well as instructional plans.  

Later this week, we will be sending info on how we will be supporting families who do not have internet access or devices (tablets, computers etc) for student work completion.

Reminder, tomorrow (Wednesday) is our next Grab and Go meal distribution from 9:00am -11:am at Yuma Middle School in the south delivery loop and in Eckley at 401 S. Main Street.  All children 18 and under are eligible for free meals regardless of their free and reduced lunch status.

Thank you!  We are looking forward to resuming instruction interactively with our students next week!

COVID-19 Update March 19, 2020

Governor Jared Polis ordered that in-person instruction at all public and private schools from March 23 to April 17 be suspended.  As a result, all district buildings will be closed to students and the community.  Staff will be working on remote instructional planning and logistics as well as "grab and go" food service next week.  Please check in frequently to this page for upcoming information.

Governor Order

The Yuma School District-1 is actively monitoring the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) situation and its impacts both locally and statewide.

Please note:  We will update information on this website as official decisions are made.  Any community information received from other sources should not be considered official Yuma School District information.

The situation is rapidly evolving and we continue to receive and monitor information from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) as well as information from the Governor’s Office and Department of Education.

Our plan is to continue to monitor and follow current and updated orders and to focus on cleaning and disinfecting during our regularly scheduled spring break.  

Currently, CHSAA has cancelled all activities, including athletic practices through April 6^th, 2020. 

We have been notified Yuma City Recreation activities have been cancelled through April 6^th as well.

In line with these decisions, we have cancelled all before or after school facility use of buildings by the community and any before or after school district related activities, including field trips until  April 6^th ,2020.  

We will re-evaluate these decisions as appropriate.

It is important to note that there is potential and probability for school closure.  As of today, March 13, 2020, school is expected to resume Monday March 23, 2020 at the conclusion of our scheduled spring break.  We will continue to work diligently behind the scenes to ensure that if closures occur, we have plans in place for meal options for our students as well as instructional plans.
