Dear ISD 319 Parents and Guardians, We have a new COVID-19 Mitigation Decision Model in place. When the school district reaches 3% of the students and staff having lab confirmed cases of COVID-19, the entire district will mask for two weeks. At this time, we have reached 3% of our population who have lab confirmed cases of COVID-19. Masking will be required before, during, and after school for all students, staff, and visitors to the district. This requirement will be in place from November 10th to November 24th. November 25th the requirement will return to a recommendation for students. The district requirement will supersede any classroom or building masking requirements. Per federal guidelines, masks are still required to ride the school bus. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Parents and Guardians, After careful consideration and a continuous review of data, we will not be moving into a 14-day reset at this time. In an effort to keep our students in the building, the mask mandate will remain in place for all students, staff, and visitors until November 5th. As a reminder, if your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. We thank you for your patience as we continue to monitor our situation closely. Thank you for your cooperation!
