School Update
4/28/21
Face Coverings Optional!
Dewey Public Schools will no longer require face coverings to be worn by staff and students while at school, on school transportation, or at school sponsored events beginning Thursday, April 29. Based on the latest information, new COVID cases have declined significantly within our area over the last month and have remained very low for several weeks. Within the school itself, we've had zero positive cases since April 4th and over 60% of our staff have been fully vaccinated. Be assured though, we will still work diligently to sustain all other effective viral transmission mitigation strategies as we finish the school year. Additionally, we are thrilled to be hosting several traditional "end of year" activities in person but will still ask families and friends to help us practice safety measures by remaining within family units and allowing distance between non-family units while attending any school events.
We will continue reporting the number of positive cases and quarantines on campus on a weekly basis. You can access the latest COVID-19 Tracking report at the bottom of this newsletter and/or on our website at www.deweyk12.org. Thank you for everyone's support during this most unusual school year and for partnering with us to help provide a safe environment for our students and staff.
