Diocese of Phoenix Announces Online and In-Person Classroom Start Dates for Catholic Schools
July 29, 2020
The Diocese of Phoenix Catholic schools have been working diligently over the summer to prepare their individual school reopening plans. Students, families, and educators are eager to begin the new academic year while focusing on keeping everyone safe and healthy.
Based on guidance from Governor Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Phoenix will begin this new school year with online learning starting between August 10 and August 17. In-person classroom instruction is projected to begin on September 8, depending upon information provided from the new state public health benchmarks for reopening schools and other public health data. Individual schools within the Diocese will base their final in-person start date decisions upon these benchmarks and dates may be adjusted as necessary.
We pray that as we move ahead with the start of the school year, our students and families will experience a Catholic educational experience that promotes academic excellence, moral values, and lifelong service.
