The number of remote students for Phase II (10% at the elementary level to 25% at the high school level) is consistent with where they were in September. We still need parents and students to be vigilant and to assist us in keeping schools open by not hosting large gatherings of students where COVID is easily spread. To help combat the spread of the virus, remember to follow the 3W’s – watch your distance, wear a mask, and wash your hands.

“Over the prior two weeks, we have seen a 3.5% increase in the number of students returning to in-person instruction. Kindergarten and first-grade students began an expanded in-person instructional model yesterday, March 22, and it was very exciting to see the students from both cohorts together in the classroom. The District will transition to Phase II for students in grades 2-12 on April 19. This date is still tentative, as it is dependent upon the COVID positivity rate not increasing. Families will continue to have the option to choose the fully remote model for the remainder of the school year. Visit the Reopening Our Schools site to view the Phase II communications, the COVID Dashboard, and related resources.”
