Campout Reading in second grade!
I am sure many are wondering, but we have one new case. Currently we have three active cases. The extended weekend has allowed for less exposure and more cleaning. Please if you feel sick, stay home. If you feel you have been around someone with COVID and you develop symptoms, notify your healthcare provider. Thanks Justin
Today, we’ve been notified by the Saline County Health Department that a student/staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Per our established protocol, we have thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the spaces. We are also following Saline and the other two counties' guidance to continue to take necessary measures to keep our students and staff safe. All students and staff identified as close contacts have been notified and are at home on quarantine. The individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 and those identified as close contacts will not be allowed to return to school for at least 14 days from the date of exposure; however, they will have access to our remote learning.. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 785-655-2541 or jcoup@usd393.net.
Sincerely, Justin Coup, Superintendent
Do wind and water affect the surface of the earth? The 2nd graders did an activity to see if this question was true - it was. We also discussed how the plains are changing because of wind and water.
Due to the cold temperatures forecasted for in the morning. Soccer is canceled and the season is over. Stay tune for basketball information coming out soon.
