December 11, 2020

At tonight’s Special Board Meeting, the Board approved administration’s recommendation to return to hybrid instruction (fully in-person and/or fully online) on Monday, December 14. We will continue to monitor data and make recommendations and adjustments as necessary to keep our students and staff safe and healthy.

Extracurricular Activities:

Governor Reynolds’ Public Health Proclamation on December 9, 2020, included the following measures for junior high and high school sports, effective Thursday, Dec. 10 at 12:01 a.m. through Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 11:59 p.m

• Junior High Sports may begin December 10, 2020. (Because of our current status on the Iowa Dept. of Education waiver, this would be December 14 for junior high.)
• School districts may allow youth sports to use district facilities provided spectator limits, social distancing, and mask requirements are followed.
• Two spectators are permitted for each athlete, performer, competitor, or staff member participating in the gathering.
• Coaches are allowed two tickets.
• Cheerleaders, pep band, and dance teams performing are allowed two tickets.
• Student managers and videographers are not allowed tickets.
