RE: MPS MOVES TO DISTANCE LEARNING
Marshall Public Schools’ Administration announced that beginning on Wednesday, November 11, 2020, the district will move to Distance Learning. There will be no classes on Wednesday, November 11 or Thursday, November 12 as staff prepare to transition to distance learning. Students will begin Distance Learning classes on Friday, November 13 through Friday, November 27. The return to Hybrid Learning on Monday, November 30, will, in part, continue to rely on county and internal school community numbers.
“County numbers continue to rise at a steady rate. In the school community we’ve also seen an increase in the number of staff and students testing positive along with an increased number of persons being asked to quarantine due to close contact,” shared Superintendent Jeremy Williams. “We are thankful that we were able to make it through first quarter before moving in this direction. Right now, we really need the help of the community in not attending large group gatherings and by also taking increased safety precautions so students can return to school in the Hybrid Model.”
During the time of Distance Learning, we are asking that any students or staff that test positive for COVID19 be reported to the school nurse for monitoring purposes.
Childcare will be offered to families of Tier 1 essential workers. Please visit the district’s website at www.marshall.k12.mn.us/return2learn to learn more or to register.
Families may also continue to participate in the free lunch program. Meals may be picked up at Park Side, West Side, Marshall Middle School or Marshall High School between 11:00 am- 1:00 pm.
You may contact your school building or the District Office at (507) 537-6924 with questions.
