We are continuing to monitor the advice of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in our area. We are aware that this is a rapidly evolving situation and will continue to monitor those events happening in our state and region.
The school has not received any recommendation or mandate from any organization as of now to close our school system. The district is working to address possible options in the event we are forced to close. We are looking at providing some online lessons, reading and math supplements, etc... in the event that our area would arrive at a situation where we would need to cancel regular school activities or in the event of a full quarantine. At this time we do not have plans to change our course of action or cancel any extra-curricular activities. Those families who do not have devices or internet connectivity at home are encouraged to contact the school to allow us to make individual contingency plans in the event we we close. Should the situation change patrons will be updated via social media and our instant alert system. We will continue to monitor the recommendations of the NDDPI, CDC and the NDDoH.
In light of all the sickness going around, please take this long spring break weekend to recoup. If your child has any signs of sickness, please keep them home. Two of my children both tested positive for influenza A and their symptoms were like that of a common cold. Our schools will be disinfected over the weekend. Regarding the Coronavirus, we will continue to monitor this as well and will defer to the guidance we receive from the state. At this time, we are not planning on closing for an extended period of time unless we are directed to do so.
Parents: we have canceled spring photos with Lifetouch due to poor quality and timeliness of receiving product. Please ignore any communication you receive from them about spring picture day in March. Thank you.
