Update from the Superintendent

Distance Learning Update
Good afternoon, Otsego families,
In our morning call with the health department and local superintendents, the health department reported 190 positive cases of COVID-19. Superintendents and our district leadership team are working on instructional plans for next fall. We are preparing for 3 possible scenarios: one is back to our normal, in-person schedule, the second is blended instruction (face to face and remote learning) and our third is starting with remote learning. We hope to see all of our students back in the fall, but want you to know that these plans are still being developed with guidance from the health department and Michigan Department of Education.
Next week will be our last week with our Continuity of Learning Plan. We know that you have played an active role in assisting us with the distance learning plan and we can’t thank you enough. Our instructional staff will be spending the first two weeks of June in professional development virtually preparing for the start of next school year. We appreciate all they continue to do during this pandemic.
In the next few weeks your students will have the opportunity to pick-up their personal belongings. This information will be communicated through our building newsletters, the district website and social media.
Last night we celebrated the Class of 2020 with a Virtual Swingout. It was a great way to honor our seniors during this unprecedented time. We would rather be in person but our high school administration along with other individuals did an outstanding job of assembling a great video presentation. Thank You.
As we all look forward to the holiday weekend I again want to thank you for your partnership and I hope all of you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
Sincerely,
Jeff Haase
