Superintendent Letter - November 24, 2020
Scott City R-1 Family,
I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well and staying healthy during these trying times. As you may already be aware, Governor Parsons announced on Thursday, November 12, 2020 modifications to the state guidance related to identifying close contacts in a school setting.
Due to the modifications in the state guidance, Scott City R-1 School District is implementing a mask mandate to decrease the number of students being quarantined for being a close contact to a person diagnosed with COVID-19.
If a person diagnosed with COVID-19 and a person identified as a close contact are both wearing a mask appropriately during the time of exposure in the school setting, the close contact would not need to be quarantined.
As a district we fully understand the importance and benefits of students receiving in person instructional time and feel the modifications to the state guidance (mask mandate) will reduce the number of students being placed in quarantine.
More information regarding the modifications from our Governor can be found on our school website in our "Return-to-School" plan.
Sincerely,
Michael Umfleet - Superintendent of Schools
Letter from the Superintendent - November 12, 2020
Scott City R-1 Parents/Guardians,
As we navigate through this pandemic, the health and safety of our school and community is one of our top priorities. The decisions we make are centered around the overall safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community. We believe it is our responsibility to continuously monitor the situation and take an active stance. In the last week we have seen a significant rise in the amount of staff and students that are being quarantined due to COVID-19 exposure. With the rise in numbers we have made the decision to temporarily shut down our school. Starting Monday, November 16, we will close through the end of the month. Students will return to school on Tuesday, December 1.
During this closure, we will be using our AMI-X (Alternative Methods of Instruction) plans. These plans include Google Classroom, SeeSaw, and paper packets. In September, paper copies of the AMI-X plan were sent home for students that marked that they did not have internet/devices. Students will be receiving any additional materials before they leave school on Friday. Devices will not be sent home during this seven day closure. For more information about AMI-X, please click this link.
