Governor Kelly made an executive order today to close schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. All activities will be canceled. This will include Prom and Graduation as currently scheduled. The Continuous Learning Committee will be making recommendations for the District to use to create a Continuous Learning plan for USD 271. This plan should be able to be completed by March 30th. It is a priority of our School District to develop a plan that all students can continue to learn and Seniors can earn their High School diploma. All of the teaching staff will be utilized in this plan. We will continue to serve breakfast and lunch during this period on a grab and go basis for children 1-18 years of age free of charge. By the end of the week, our custodial staff will have the entire district disinfected.
We can’t wait to share a message and a story with you at 11am and 4:30pm!

USD 271 continues to work closely with our state department of education (KSDE) and our health experts (KDHE). Based on the latest information, we will close school this week, March 16-20, and observe our Spring Break next week, March 23-27. There will be no school activities during this time. We will continue to communicate updates during these two weeks.
USD 271 is closely monitoring the COVID-19 virus. We receive daily updates from KSDE who is working closely with KDHE and CDC. We are “mitigating the risk” of COVID-19 by following the guidelines and recommendations from the state’s medical leadership. We are asking all parents to self-report any out of state or out of country travel to the school office where your child(ren) attends. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are a fever and lower respiratory infection with cough. Students and staff may not attend school if they have not been fever free for 24 or more hours without the use of medication. We are under the direction of the Rooks County Health Department regarding school closure.
