Learning Model & Calendar Updates
Learning Model
The learning model is currently IN-PERSON for all K-12 students. Every other Wednesday is a Staff Planning Day. This means that students do not attend in person on those days. K-4 has a day off and 5-12 check-in virtually. This learning model will likely stay in place for the remainder of the school year. The incident command team still meets regularly to assess the COVID risk in our area and address how to best keep our students and safe during this time. Many of our staff members were eligible to receive vaccines.*Every Minnesotan age 16 and up is now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. To schedule an appointment through Countryside Public Health, visit www.countrysidepublichealth.org/covid-19-information and find a clinic link to register.
School Calendar & MCA Testing
Spring Break is underway!! There is No School for students Thursday, April 1st- Monday, April 5th.

MCA testing will take place over the next several weeks. During testing, help your child get enough sleep and consume healthy nutrients.
