Correction e-learning to start Monday, March 23rd.
On Friday, Governor Evers announced the mandated closure of public schools beginning on Wednesday, March 18, in order to give school districts time to make plans for kids, families, educators and staff. School will be closed until April 5th. At this time the district has not been notified of any positive tests in our school community, and has not been advised to shut down immediately, but that does not mean that the virus is absent from our community. If you or your children are symptomatic, please do not send them to school.
Our current plan is to have school on Monday and Tuesday and then to extend our break through the end of the week, with school E-learning resuming on March 30th. Paper copies of assignments are or have been prepared, as well as e-learning experiences for students who have access. Teachers have been working with students throughout the last week on how this will be completed in the event a school closure would happen. This will be a learning curve for all involved including parents, teachers and students.
The district will be posting a school board meeting to be held Tuesday evening to discuss food service during the closure. More information will be forthcoming after that meeting. Please be patient, these are unprecedented circumstances and given constantly evolving information, these plans may change. Parents may excuse their children from attendance on Monday and Tuesday. Please make sure that your child has everything they need to ensure some continuity of instruction beginning on March 30th.
We will be holding school on Monday and Tuesday. Parents who wish to keep their students home on Monday and Tuesday will be excused. School will be closed on March 18 until at least April 6. All extracurricular activities and events are canceled effective immediately until further notice. A detailed document will be published Monday with details regarding all aspects of this closure.
COVID-19 Message from KAS: http://www.kickapoo.k12.wi.us/article/207705?org=kickapoo
Dear Music Students, Parents/Guardians:
We are sorry to say that Monday's Music Festival has been cancelled. The Wisconsin School Music Association thought it best to cancel to help minimize the spread of Covid-19. Kickapoo staff, administration, and music department, will be looking into other performance possibilities for our students. Virtual offerings are being explored through the state music association as well. In the meantime, thank you for your hard work and support! We will keep you posted as we navigate forward.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Miller
Dear Elementary Wrestling Parents,
The rest of the elementary wrestling season will be cancelled. The elementary meet at Boscobel for this Saturday, 3/14, is also cancelled along with our home meet for next week Thursday. Thank you to everyone for coming out this year.
