Substitute Announcement

There is a significant shortage of substitute teachers this year. This notice is to inform you that due to the lack of classroom coverage by substitute teachers, Ida Elementary will start requesting students stay home when there isn’t a teacher for their classroom. Students will have access to education through Google Classroom substitute plans created by their teacher or packets that will be available for pick up in the office. As much as possible, you will be notified the prior night if there isn’t coverage of a particular class. This system will go into effect immediately.

Messenger to Elementary families regarding quarantine updates:

Data regarding COVID continues to be closely monitored. There is a correlation of 10% positivity rate due to in school transmission at the elementary level. As a result, those identified as close contact will now be required to quarantine. We wanted to make you aware of this change as it is different from previous recommendations. If your child is identified as close contact of a positive case in school, our school nurse will notify you of the exposure. This change is to continue being proactive in limiting the spread of COVID at the elementary.
