Dear Madison Highland Prep Families,

We hope all of you had a restful and enjoyable Winter Break. Hopefully you found time to safely connect with family and friends and to share the joy the holiday season brings.

We are happy to welcome our students back, virtually, for the start of the 3rd quarter. With the exception of our students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes, students are in full swing with a new set of classes.

As I mentioned in my last parent update, our experience this past semester affirms the importance of providing in-person instruction for students whenever possible. While we are eager to have our students back on campus for in-person instruction we are cognizant of the continuing rise in COVID cases. We are committed to returning to our hybrid learning model; however, want to do so when it is safe. We continue to monitor the metrics through the Maricopa Department of Public Health. The most recent dashboard is below. As you can see all metrics are in the red category which indicates that, at this time, it is not yet prudent for MHP to return to our hybrid learning model. 

 Madison Highland Prep will continue to use the City of Phoenix data and return to hybrid learning when Cases per 100,000, and either percent positivity or COVID like illness, are in the yellow (moderate category). We feel that when at least two of these metrics are in the yellow category, MHP will be on stronger ground for students who wish to be on campus to return. If we do not do this, we greatly increase our risk of returning to virtual learning and not providing in-person instruction for a longer period of time.

Once we return to hybrid learning, students who wish to continue through our virtual learning model will have the opportunity to do so. We ask that you please fill out the distance learning form if that is your intention. 

I’d like to encourage all of our students and families to continue to participate in our Daily Heat Challenges. The challenges are intended to provide a break from the screen and boost daily activity. Daily Heat Challenges are provided in a variety of areas from hiking and daily fitness to geocaching and cooking. The more challenges students complete the more chances they have to earn prizes at the end of the week. To learn more about the challenges, click on the Daily Heat Challenge canvas page. 

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend. 

Warmly, 

Kerry Clark, Ed.D
