TCUSD Re-Opening Plan
We are pleased to welcome you back, and present our reopening plan for the 2020-2021. Our plan has been developed by district stakeholders with our continued commitment to the vision, mission, values, beliefs and guiding principles of Tuba City Unified School District in mind. Due to parent/guardian feedback, as well as our concern for the safety and well-being of TCUSD students and staff we will be planning to reopen on August 17, 2020 in the virtual or distance learning setting. All students will learn from home with teachers reporting to the building to work from their classrooms. Enrollment information is available at your child’s school now. Online enrollment is coming soon!
Changes due to the community situation or changes within the Navajo Nation, State of Arizona and/or the Center for Disease Control will be posted on an ongoing basis. Check back regularly for updates!
