Just a reminder from the kitchen about meal pick-up today for those that have signed up. Thanks!
MESSAGE FROM NURSE TRISH: If you are considered a contact of a positive Covid case, please read the information in this link https://5il.co/n2oj . If you are on quarantine or isolation, please follow the guidelines. I am also available to help answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Elementary Parents (or anyone else) If you would like to get back on the meal pick up list for next week, please contact Melissa and let her know by noon Friday. Thanks!
With Covid case counts in both of our counties rising again, the district will again move to the full virtual model of instruction at all levels starting November 16th. We will continue to communicate with our local health department and monitor the data to inform the community of when we can return the elementary students to in-person learning. Last week's report from Vernon county showed that 59% of positive cases could not identify where they acquired the illness which is indicative of wide community spread of the virus. Increased community spread of the virus combined with an approximate 60% increase in total cases across the two counties over the last two weeks, has led us to believe that moving back to a virtual model of instruction is the safest course of action. The administration will monitor the case counts over the next two weeks, we need to see case counts come down towards 50 per 10K (please see the Covid tracker on our website which is updated every Thursday) in order to bring the elementary back into school.
If case counts remain high, and results in a more prolonged virtual environment, the district is also working on a plan to deliver meals once a week to families who sign up. In the event that this happens please expect more communication around potential food delivery and sign up next week.
WRESTLING CLOTHING ORDER INFORMATION: The online wrestling clothing store closes the 30th of Nov. at midnight. People should have the option to have their clothes sent to their home or to the school.

We are excited to present the final piece that our choir worked on for the fall season. Knowing we would not be able to have an in-person Veterans Day celebration, the middle school sang and created artwork to show our unfailing support for America's finest. Thank you for your service!

This week the number of Covid cases in our communities rose again. 300 total cases over the last two weeks in the two counties. We committed to bring back the elementary students for two weeks. We will continue with our instructional model next week, but the trend of lower cases has reversed. The Vernon County two week case count was the highest it has ever been.
At the last school board meeting the board and administration were investigating the possibility of a two question pool referendum for the spring ballot. Legal advice has indicated that the linking of the two questions as discussed at that meeting, is not allowable because each referendum question must stand on its own. The board has a potential referendum and pool design on the agenda for the November 9th school board meeting.
