December 4K-12 School Closure
Through December 23
The time frame for this closure is currently scheduled through December 23 with students returning to face-to-face on Jan. 4. This return date is subject to change.
If for any reason your child cannot participate in virtual instruction, please call the Middle School / High School Office as you normally would for attendance purposes.
Below you will find links to the different areas that could be impacted by this temporary school closure and the plans in place for each.
Facilities
Non-quarantined, healthy staff will have access to the facilities to retrieve materials and provide instructional support to students and families. Staff are required to isolate themselves and not have contact with other staff members while in the building.
Student Transportation
Student Meals
Kitchen staff, along with paraprofessionals and bus drivers, are being called to action to prepare and deliver meals to the homes of students.
Families need to have a cooler near the end of the driveway to place the meals in on Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Families who have completed the Google Form or previously called the school will be receiving meals.
If you would like to stop this service at anytime or receive meals for your children, please contact Karen Trowbridge at trowbridgek@mail.newauburn.k12.wi.us

Student Materials
If a student is quarantined, but needs materials, please contact Michele Crooker in the HS/MS office for assistance.
Attendance and Class Work
In an effort to keep students in the routine of attending classes and learning, teachers will be continuing with new instruction during this temporary school closure. This means that students will be expected to engage in instruction and learning through a variety of assignments. Participating in and completing assignments will be counted toward attendance. Participation / completion will be included as grades during this time period.
- Check communication source from teacher(s) for assignments... could be via Google Classroom, email, SeeSaw, etc... the exact communication method can be found on the teacher's temporary school closure plan link.
- Join class virtually for new instruction, if assigned by teacher(s)
- Follow directions to complete and submit assigned work
Since online instruction is an extension of the classroom students are subject to the same rules and consequences as if they were in the classroom (examples - appropriate clothing, language, and behavior). Please be aware of the background that is being shared during online meetings. Teachers have the authority to shutdown video or audio or remove a student as needed.
