K-W Parents and Students,
9/30/2020
As we complete the first four weeks of this new academic year, I would like to express gratitude on how well all of our students and parents have been in working with us through this unique situation we are in. The staff and community are united to work with one another to ensure a safe and joyful learning experience.
With the onset of COVID, the district administration has been working in collaboration with Goodhue County Public Health to be proactive in planning our learning models. The updated 14-day COVID-19 Case Rate for Goodhue County increased last Thursday from a 7.35 to 8.65. Goodhue County Public Health is indicating the new number this week will be even higher. This tells us that we should stay the course. With that said we must again ask for your patience and support as we continue into October while in Phase 2 Learning Model through at least October 14th. This would bring us to the end of our first 6-week grading period and the start of Fall Break.
Remember to screen your children for any COVID-like symptoms before you send them to school and report any illness to the absence line. Symptoms consistent with COVID-19 include: fever greater than 100.4, new onset and/or worsening cough, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, muscle pain, excessive fatigue, new onset of severe headache, new onset of nasal congestion or runny nose.
Thank you,
Bryan Boysen, Superintendent/Principal K-6
