Weekly Update
Update from the Superintendent
April 30, 2020
Good afternoon, Otsego families
This is Jeff Haase superintendent of Otsego Public Schools with your Thursday afternoon update.
In our morning call with the health department and local superintendents, the health department reported 95 positive cases of COVID-19. Local school districts did receive guidance on procedures on “reopening” our buildings to employees if the Stay Home/Stay Safe is withdrawn in the next couple of weeks. In addition, we are expecting guidance from the health department concerning students returning in the fall. Once we receive guidance I will share that information with you. Local districts continue to look at different options for end of the year celebrations but nothing has been decided at this point.
Our food service continues to do an excellent job of providing meals for our students and families. Our food service employees and volunteers have served over 93,000 during this closure through our 9 distribution locations.
We are in our second week of our six week Continuity of Learning plan. We hope your students have found a new routine to engage in their schoolwork and connect with their teacher, but also enjoy family time. If you have questions or need assistance, remember, we are here for you. Please reach out to your child's teacher, principal or school counselors.
We would also like to hear more on how it’s going and how we are doing. You’ll find a survey in today’s update and your building newsletter. Please fill this out by Wednesday, May 6th. This is important information for us to evaluate our distance learning plan.
On behalf of the district I want to say thank you for supporting us during these unprecedented times. We have an AMAZING district!
Jeff Haase
Otsego Superintendent
Please complete this by Wednesday, May 6th. Thank you!
