Health & Safety-Updates
Thank you for the ways you’re engaging and supporting our students during distance learning. We know you’ve been working hard to adjust to this learning model. Please be assured, our priority is to have all our students back in school, every day. We want and need all our students to return to in-person learning as soon as it is safe.
COVID-19 transmission rates are rising in our community. Local health experts and Stearns County officials are projecting a continued increase in these rates over the coming weeks. When case rates rise above 50, the Governor’s Safe Learning Plan requires we consider the impact of COVID on our community and schools, the recommendations of local public health officials and the medical community, and on the operational challenges of increasing numbers of students and staff in quarantine.
Having completed this analysis in consultation with our local health officials, we will transition to distance learning for preschool, elementary and alternative programs students on November 30. Our plan is to return all students, PK-12, to hybrid learning on January 4, 2020.
Again, thank you for your support and partnership.
Willie Jett
Superintendent
