					<description><![CDATA[7-15-20

Good Afternoon, Students and Families,

We hope this message finds you safe and healthy. We wanted to provide you with a brief update for beginning school at Metro.

Earlier today, the Governor met with educational leaders, and the Arizona Department of Education also provided schools with an overview of guidelines. We are still expecting further guidance from the State as we finalize our plans.

Although we had planned on communicating full details today, we are incorporating today’s recent updates from the State into our plans.

We look forward to providing you with a full update tomorrow.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,

Metropolitan Arts Institute Administration

Matt Baker, Head of School
Jenny Quinn, Student Services & Academics
Betsy Rosenmiller, Finance
Lisa Starry, Operations
John Perovich, Admissions and Student Life]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Metro Arts Parents and Guardians,

Governor Ducey issued an order on Monday directing state residents to stay at home until the end of April, following the lead of several other governors as health officials try to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Along with Governor Ducey, keeping Arizonans safe and healthy as we slow the spread of COVID-19 remains our top priority. In order to keep our campus, staff, and students as safe as possible, the last day to check out a Chromebook will be this Wednesday, April 1st, by 12 pm. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Kind regards,
Metropolitan Arts Administration]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Attention Metro Students

This Wednesday (February 19th) there will be a rally by Donald Trump at the coliseum near our school. Due to the proximity and expected traffic, police have suggested that parents may want to pick their students up early from school. The highways will be closed sometime after 12:30 and street traffic will be heavy. Any student who is picked up after 11:00 am tomorrow morning will have their absence automatically excused. The campus will be closing at 2:15 tomorrow. The EF tour Barcelona meeting will be rescheduled for Thursday 
(SEE NEW DATE/TIME BELOW). Thank you for your patience and understanding.
