Dear CFHS Parents/Guardians,
Starting October 8th, the District will ask parents of CFSD students to commit to a learning preference for their
students to follow. The plan will include detailed information for each school.
To accommodate the choice for students that parents make, the district will assess the decision through a
survey. The survey will be open on October 8th and close at 11:59 pm on October14th. The selection will be
“binding” and we will use these numbers to prepare for in-person and remote learning. Each school will provide
more detail to best inform families on what their schedule will look like, and what the health and safety
procedures specific to the school site will be. Each school will facilitate Town Hall meetings to discuss the
return to in-person learning on October 26 with specific implementation details. Details about the remote
learning option will also be discussed.
CFHS will hold our Town Hall Meeting on Thursday October 8th at 6:00pm. The link to this Town Hall Meeting will be posted on the CFHS website.
The District reaffirmed its decision last month to base school openings and potential re-closings, on state and
Pima County public health metrics and guidelines.
All students and staff will be required to wear a mask while they are on campus. For now, no visitors will be
allowed at schools, except in an emergency, and we will not be hosting school travel for field trips at this time.
Our health and safety protocol will be to provide six-feet between desks in the classroom. Although we cannot
guarantee that students will always be six feet away from each other because students and adults tend to
gravitate toward each other, we will stress substantial compliance with the public health recommendations. We
will do the very best we can to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our students and staff. As stated, the
details of the plan will be communicated on October 8th in a CFHS fact sheet.
We appreciate your ongoing support as we navigate the reopening of school. We will monitor and adjust as
needed to provide the best for students and staff academically and with health and safety protocols.
A reminder that we the Governing Board approved a revised Student Calendar 2020-2021 Option 1B (see page
3). This calendar eliminates half days on October 27 and 28 and the Late Start Friday on October 30. These
changes allow for the first week of in-person learning to be five full days of instruction.
Sincerely,
Jody Brase
Principal

October 1, 2020 To: Parents of CFSD Students From: Mary Kamerzell, Superintendent Re: CFSD Open Enrollment Program for the 2021-2022 School Year The Catalina Foothills School District (CFSD) will begin its open enrollment application procedures for the 2021-2022 school year on November 1, 2020. Pursuant to A.R.S. §15-816 all Arizona school districts follow a prescribed procedure and timetable for admitting out-of-district transfer students and resident transfer students (those who live in the District but are attending a school outside the attendance area of their residence). All students who currently attend CFSD schools and reside in other districts, and all CFSD resident students who attend a school outside of the attendance area of their residence, are impacted by this law. We require all open enrollment students to apply for admission each year. Therefore, if your child is a resident transfer (open enrollment) student and you want him/her to continue in that capacity, or if your child resides outside of the district, either as a continuing or a new open enrollment student, please complete an open enrollment application online between November 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021. Open enrollment applications and information regarding the application process are on the district Web site, www.cfsd16.org (as of November 1, 2020). Under Parents, select Open Enrollment. Electronic applications must be submitted no later than January 31, 2021. Decisions about admission, based on capacity, will be made by March 1, 2021. At that time, all applicants who applied during the application period will be notified by email whether their applications were accepted, waitlisted, or declined. Note: A separate application must be completed for each student. Please keep in mind that annually, the open enrollment process involves three steps: application, notification of our decision and, if accepted, online registration.

AP Exam Registration ~ NOW OPEN Refer to the flyer below for important information regarding 2021 AP exam registration. Information was also emailed to all AP students and parents on September 21.
2021 AP EXAM REGISTRATION
Although it is early in the school year, it is time to start thinking about spring 2021 AP exam registration. (College Board requires schools to order exams for yearlong and fall-only classes in November.) 2021 AP exams will take place during the first two weeks of May. Click here for a detailed exam schedule.
AP exam registration is a multi-step process:
1. Students create a MyAP account through College Board (myap.collegeboard.org). Already have a College Board account?: Use the same credentials. DO NOT create two accounts. Use a personal email address when creating a College Board account. DO NOT USE YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL ADDRESS.
2. Once logged into MyAP, enter the join code provided by each AP teacher. Students will have a join code for each AP class in which they are enrolled.
3. You will see that your exam registration is already "yes".
If you know FOR SURE that you are not going to test, please change your registration to "no." If there is any chance that you will test, do not change your order status.
College Board has decided that for the 2020-21 school year only, all canceled exam fees will be waived. This means there is no penalty for a student to order a test and then cancel later - even up to test day. The only time a student would be charged the $40 late fee is if they opt to register for an exam after the below deadlines. With this in mind, all students - upon joining each AP classroom - have an "Order Exam?" status of "Yes."
• Decision deadline for fall/yearlong classes = November 1
• Decision deadline for spring-only classes (S2 Gov/Macro) = March 1
4. Pay the $95 fee (per test) via InTouch or by contacting the Bursar's Office (209-8310). The payment deadline for ALL exams is March 1, 2021.
Please note that there is a decision deadline and a payment deadline. Families may pay for exams at any point from Oct 1 – March 1. Any exams not paid for by March 1 are subject to cancellation. Students who qualify for Free/Reduced lunch should still please go through InTouch to “finalize” the registration process, but know that the total exam fee will appear as $0.00.
Refer to the AP information section on the Counseling Department's website for additional details. Contact Ms. Petrillo at [email protected] with any questions or concerns about AP exam registration or payment.

Health Office Updates
CFHS Note from the Health Office October, 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians, We hope you are all staying safe and healthy! As we begin our first days of Fall and Flu season is around the corner, the CDC recommends that you and your family consult with your healthcare provider about getting a Flu (Influenza) vaccine, especially this year during the COVID-19 pandemic. See https://www.cdc.gov/flu/index.htm If you haven’t yet please email, fax or drop off the Student Health Information Form. A new one is needed each school year, even though students are remote learning. In order for students to be enrolled in school, whether in person or remote learning, the State requires complete and updated immunization records be submitted to the Health Office. Each year we offer vision and hearing screening for 9th graders, New to District Students and those in Support Services. If you wish to schedule an appointment please contact the nurse at [email protected] or call 520-209-8330 or the health assistant at [email protected] or call 520-209-8304. If you do schedule an appointment please complete the CFSD Waiver form and bring it with you. If you choose to decline this service until students are back on campus, please notify the nurse or health assistant that you need a Hearing and Vision Screening Declination Form. We are also collecting annual forms for students with Chronic Health Conditions, like Diabetes, Asthma, Seizure Disorders, etc. You may also contact the nurse at [email protected] or health assistant at [email protected]. For any COVID-19 information please refer to:
• CFSD Website • Pima County Health Department • CDC
We look forward to a safe and healthy return to in-school learning in the future. We thank you in advance for any donations of Lysol disinfectant wipes or Clorox wipes.
