Piima County Heallth Department Recommends Cllosure of Agua Calliiente Ellementary Schooll Untiill November 15th

Tanque Verde Unified School District’s Agua Caliente Elementary School has been closed for 10 days through the recommendation of the Pima County
Health Department, due to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and the percentage of students absent at the school over the past two days. Three classrooms had already been closed prior to the school closure. Students will be able to access their learning virtually during the closure. The order is in effect until November 15, 2021.

Agua Caliente Elementary School (ACES) is currently the only TVUSD school under the Pima County Closure Order. Detailed information was sent to ACES staff/families about the closure yesterday afternoon. An InTouch Emergency Telephone Notification was also made to ACES families.

Parents/ACES staff will continue to receive email communication from the school with important updates and information. A Chromebook drive-thru pick-up was held at ACES to assist families with devices for remote learning. The Grab and Go Pick Up Meal Service continues to be available to ALL children at Tanque Verde High School.

The Tanque Verde Unified School District Governing Board, in a letter to the TVUSD Community dated October 22, 2021, had previously noted the increasing numbers of cases in the district’s schools and asked for continued cooperation with the schools’ COVID-19 Mitigation Protocols. They implored everyone “to work together with kindness and respect.” At the November 2nd Board Meeting, there was a board request made to add a future action item on the implementation of a mask mandate. A Special Board Meeting may be scheduled, or it may be addressed at the next regular board meeting on November 17th.
