YESDO will have two programs available for students who have unfinished learning this school year due to the pandemic.

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A week-long Spring Break in March 2020 turned into a year of distant learning. Tuesday marked the one year anniversary of schools closing due to COVID-19 in Arizona.

Knox Elementary School, have done everything in their power to make virtual learning not distant. It definitely was a challenge at first, but looking at where we ve come, from last March to now, these kids are rocking the technology in the classroom, Pina said.
