Dear IGSD Parents and Guardians,
Iowa-Grant School District continues to be committed to in-person learning for as many days as possible. However, there was considerable discussion as to whether the district should pivot to district-wide virtual learning for the week after spring break. The decision has been made to offer in-person learning directly following spring break on April 6th. The options to learn virtually or in-person will be available for the remainder of the year, but flip-flopping is highly discouraged.
Up until this decision, the District had been advising those who travel to quarantine in accordance with CDC guidance. We still encourage following CDC guidance, but we will not mandate quarantines based upon travel destination. For those who have decided to travel domestically, please refer to the guidelines provided by the CDC.
**Please remember that students should stay home if they have any COVID symptoms. Also, if other household members are sick, not feeling well, symptomatic, waiting for test results or waiting to be tested; students should be kept home.**
If you have any questions/concerns about whether your child(ren) should come to school, please call prior to sending them.
The count for Iowa-Grant’s COVID positive cases thus far this school year is fourteen staff members and twenty-nine students. Of those cases, we have one student currently recovering. We have additional individuals who were close contacts and are quarantined because of contacts at home, school, or in the community.
As always, at any moment our in-person learning could pivot to virtual learning if we have multiple positive staff/students. We are closely monitoring things and will provide you with updates if anything changes or further steps are necessary. If you have questions about COVID-19 or need to report a positive case of COVID-19, please do not hesitate to contact our Nurse Sharon Friederick at sfriederick@igs.k12.wi.us. My email address is shubbard@igs.k12.wi.us.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Hubbard, Superintendent IGSD
