Message from our Superintendent - March 12, 2020
Update regarding coronavirus
Dear Otsego parents and families,
This afternoon, all Allegan County administrators met with the county health department to get an update and guidance on our response to COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus. Our primary focus continues to be keeping staff and students, as well as our community and visitors, safe and healthy. At this time there are no reported cases of Coronavirus in Allegan County, or surrounding counties. However, we want to be a partner in the state-wide effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 and are following health experts’ recommendations to postpone or cancel large group gatherings. Since this is an ever-changing situation, we are making cancellation decisions one week at a time. Therefore, we are postponing the high school musical “Mamma Mia” for the first weekend, March 20-22. Several other cancellations are being made at the state level impacting our students such as MHSAA tournaments, FIRST Robotics, Destination Imagination, solo/ensemble for our band members. With a shortened week, we are also taking advantage of the time in our buildings to conduct additional cleaning. The pool, weight room and track will be closed through the weekend and high school spring sports practices will resume on Monday.
To help you stay informed of the latest information, we have created a webpage where we will put all of our cancellations and updates. https://www.otsegops.org/apps/pages/COVID19 We have also linked a number of resources to this page for you to learn more about COVID-19.
We are in daily contact with the Allegan County Health Department and Allegan County superintendents. Please continue to follow good hygiene practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases.
As you know this is an evolving situation and plans may change at any time. We will continue to keep you updated on any new information or schedule adjustments as they happen. We appreciate your patience and partnership in these efforts.
Sincerely,
Jeff Haase
