Rooks County continues to see new COVID-19 cases throughout the county. The absenteeism rate is decreasing and is at 3.9% above the baseline from 2019-2020. The positive testing rate has decreased to 19.9% this week. We continue to monitor numbers closely.

It is our hope that families will enjoy their time together during the break and will remain healthy at the same time. Please continue to wear your masks and practice social distancing. We appreciate your help as we navigate through this pandemic. We look forward to seeing the students when school resumes in January. Updates about the return to school will be posted the Friday before students are scheduled to return.
As always, stay safe and healthy. We are thankful to live in a county where we work together to take care of one another. Happy Holidays from the Rooks County medical providers and USD 269 Palco, USD 270 Plainville, and USD 270 Stockton!

KSHSAA and USD 271 Parent/Guardian Event Update
USD 271 Board of Education, at a special Board meeting, approved that two parents/guardians (per family) can attend events, if the facility can accommodate 6 foot social distancing. USD 271 will follow the new KSHSAA guidelines regarding participation and spectators.
Parents/guardians will be required to wear face masks at all times in the building and must social distance 6 feet apart from each other. Parents/guardians must be listed on the pass gate to enter the facility. The pass gate policy will be implemented for all MCL schools. Additional information regarding MCL decisions will be posted on our social media sites. In order to maintain two parents/guardians as spectators and keep a 6 foot social distance we would ask parents/guardians to only attend games their student is participating in.
There will be no concession stand at events. USD 271 will continue to live stream all events.
