November 30, 2020 COVID-19 Information
At this time, our data indicates we will continue with face-to-face instruction.
On a daily basis, we monitor the county positivity rate, school district student/staff attendance numbers, and positive cases of COVID-19. If the student absentee rate exceeds 10% in the school district and positive cases of COVID-19 increase, we may switch to hybrid or remote learning (L-S instructional model considerations at bottom of the newsletter).
18 students were exposed to a positive case during the week of November 21 - November 27, 2020, but did not need to quarantine because of the school district mask requirement.
