Milbank Elementary
Fall 2020
Dear Families,
I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of the three potential learning plans for the year: in-person learning, blended (maroon/gold groups), and distance learning. If you are unsure if your child is in the marron or gold group, please contact the Elementary Office. Please be prepared for all methods in case we need to make adjustments throughout the year. Our teachers and staff have been working extremely hard to prepare students for all options. Thank you for your support of your child's learning no matter which learning model we are in!
Sincerely,
Mr. Graf

4. Students NOT following the District recommendation of wearing a mask OR students identified as a “close contact” (as determined by paragraph 5) may return to school under the following conditions:
· If upon the 7th day of quarantine or later, a student does NOT exhibit any symptoms associated with COVID-19, the student may seek COVID-19 testing to determine if he/she is positive or negative.
· If the COVID-19 test result is positive, the student shall remain in quarantine per SD-DOH guidance.

o The student remains symptom free,
