Get Ready for the 2021-22 School Year
Paseo Pointe is looking forward to welcoming all of our new and returning Rams to the 2021-22 school year. Here are a few things you’ll want to make sure you review before school starts on August 2.
Survey
Take our survey on the Safe-Return to In-Person Learning. This survey will provide valuable information as we prepare for full in-person learning.
Bus Transportation
Students living within our school’s transportation zone are eligible for bus transportation.
Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Applications
For the 2021-2022 school year, all students will receive healthy school meals at no cost, regardless of income. Families are still encouraged to submit a school meal application for free or reduced-price meal benefits because this information may be used for other programs, such as Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT), Federal and State funding for your school, reduced registration fees for academic tests, free or discounted fees for athletic programs, discounted rates for internet service, and many more.

Paseo Pointe Book Fair is March 22-26
Paseo Pointe’s Spring Book Fair is scheduled for March 22-26. This is offered before and after school only. On March 25, from 4 – 6 PM, we will be having an outdoor family shopping event.
Hybrid Learning Resumes March 1
Students who selected the Flexible Learning Option (Hybrid) will return to on-campus instruction beginning March 1.
The local Laveen community is still experiencing substantial spread of the virus. The district has reviewed and updated the mitigation strategies and believe we have strong practices to prevent the spread of on campus. However, we are dependent on our families to help ensure these practices are followed so that our schools may remain open.
Most importantly, we ask you to keep your child home if they are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19. Properly-fitting masks, that cover both the nose and mouth, must be worn while on campus. And, students are asked to be mindful of social distancing.
As a reminder, all students returning on-site must have a signed COVID Acknowledgement Form on file. Parents may sign this form through their ParentVue account.
Laveen has established school-based metrics to determine if a classroom or campus must transition to virtual learning. These metrics, as well as other information related to the return to hybrid learning may be found on our website, www.LaveenSchools.org/Return-to-Laveen.
A few additional reminders for your child’s return:
- Students returning to campus should bring their charged Chromebook and reusable water bottle with them on March 1.
- Students who will be utilizing bus transportation must be registered for bus service through our Transportation Department. Students who were registered last semester do not need to register again.
- Breakfast and lunch will continue to be served free to all students for the rest of the school year, thanks to a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
