DISTANCE LEARNING AT CITY HEIGHTS PREP (MARCH 16-TBD)
In accordance with local public health authorities and the San Diego Unified School District, City Heights Prep transitioned to Distance Learning at the end of the 2019/2020 school year in order to curb the potential transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19). We will move into the 2020/2021 school year in a similar fashion. We invite our families to familiarize themselves with the tangible tools and resilience strategies that they can use within their homes, and to look through our Operations Written Report and its approval from our Board (as further noted by our Director).
