We will be taking the state mandated AzSCI test on Wednesday, March, 24. Only 11th grade students are expected to take this particular test and we will be having a different schedule on Wednesday to accommodate the time needed to take the AzSCI test.

Families, please help us ensure your student is at scshool on time so that we may keep to the schedule. We appreciate all your efforts! In such a chotic and unusual year, I know our students anad families (staff too!) are thankfull that we have been in-person learning for the majority of the school year. State testing is mandated at the federal lever and we know that our students and our teachers have worked hard to get to this point.

Hello Bulldog Families,

As you know, in these very different times Safford Unified Schools is working hard to create as many effective options to eduatcate our kids as possible. One of these options is expanding our online school, Henry Dunkerson Pathways Academy (HDPA) from 9-12 to K-12. We feel it is very important to clarify that HDPA is set up as an online/social distanced enviroment in its entirety. The HDPA online learning platform is DIFFERENT from when we have to implement Distance Learning. Distance Learning is when we are required by government authority to not have students on campus, but still educate our students. When we are in Distance Learning mode, students are still enrolled in their school of orgin- DSS, LNS, RPS, SMS, SHS, MGHS. They participate in their core classes, electives, and even extracurricular activities when possible within directed guidelines. These students are still members of their athletic teams and clubs.

HDPA is its own seperate school-still within the Safford Unified School District though. As mentioned earlier, this is set up as an online/social distanced enviroment in its entirety. HDPA students won't be participating in "brick and mortar" classes, clubs, or athletics. We hope this clarifies any questions and helps guide you in your decision within the many options we are trying to create.
