Dear Parents and Families,
On August 1, 2020 the state of Wisconsin issued a mask mandate that will require masks to be
worn in many situations for children above five years old. There are exceptions for this
requirement. We are working to define how this will be implemented and how we can support
students and families with this. We will have a process if your child is someone who will need
an exception to the mask requirement. To avoid confusion, we will likely require masks by
grade level so that classes do not have some four year olds and some five year olds with
different expectations. We understand in the youngest grades that students might take some
time to learn this protocol similar to learning other classroom routines as they return to school.
We continue to meet and adjust to be best prepared to provide a quality education to your child
this fall while we minimize risk. We have reviewed our cleaning protocols and assessed our
inventory to ensure that we have enough cleaning supplies, gloves, and hand sanitizer for this
school year. We continue to review traffic patterns and make adjustments to the schedule to
reduce the number of students traveling or the amount of transition time. While this will make
school feel different for students and staff, it will reduce the chance that we would have to
transition to partial or virtual instruction for a time period.
At this time we plan for all students to attend in person five days a week. We continue to meet
weekly with Chippewa County Public Health to monitor the county levels. We will be prepared
for other instructional options should they be required.
Student registration is online this year. If you do not have internet access you are able to use
the hot spot in the North Parking lot at the High School. You may also come in to access a
computer in the school office August 5th-6th from 2:00-6:00 pm. If you have questions please
call your respective school office.
Sincerely,
Jenny Starck
Superintendent
