Update from the Superintendent
June 11, 2020
Last Day of School & Looking Ahead
Good afternoon, Otsego families,
In our call with the health department and local superintendents this week, the health department reported 236 positive cases of COVID-19. Local superintendents, along with other community stakeholders, held their first county-wide meeting yesterday. As a group, we are actively engaged in planning through the remainder of the summer and jointly have created a letter for our communities. (see letter below).
As the county looks at options for next fall, Otsego Public Schools will be meeting with multiple stakeholders during the week of June 22nd to develop our plan for Re-entry and Reopening our schools. This plan will evolve as we continue to wait on guidance from the Governor’s office and Michigan Department of Education. It will be my hope to share our 3 possible learning plans with our community after the Fourth of July.
As we continue planning for the 2020-2021 school year by developing our Re-entry & Reopening OPS plan, it’s important for us to hear from you. We invite you to take a few minutes to complete an anonymous parent/guardian survey to help guide our planning to safely reopen schools. Your feedback is crucial to help ensure students and staff have healthy learning and working environments. We will collect responses from today through June 19th. Please use this link to access the survey https://tinyurl.com/opsbacktoschool
As we close another school year I want to thank each and every one of you for your partnership in our Continuity of Learning Plan. It was not the way we had intended to finish the school year, but together we accomplished this goal. I will continue to provide updates throughout the summer as I received information.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful, relaxing and healthy summer.
Letter from the Allegan County Superintendents Association
