43 – COVID-19 Update – Future Virtual Option – Rural Virtual Academy
June 4, 2021
RE: Future Virtual Option
This past school year the Oconto Falls Public Schools offered a virtual education option for students as an alternative to face-to-face education during the pandemic. The option provided involved students accessing their education through the utilization of Acellus programming. During the course of the year we gathered feedback regarding this option and determined that we would not move forward with Acellus for the 2021-22 school year as a virtual alternative.
On May 10, 2021, a recommendation was made to the Board of Education that we move forward and collaborate with the Rural Virtual Academy (RVA) for situations where an option other than face-to-face education is requested. The Board approved this recommendation, and we are currently collaborating with RVA staff to ensure information is available to those who have an interest in a virtual education option.
Please know that we are moving forward with a plan to have all students back in face-to-face learning environments, with face coverings optional, when we begin the 2021-2022 school year. However, we recognize that, in exceptional circumstances, a parent may want to consider another option. This is a link to the RVA website and will enable you to access information regarding RVA and their virtual programming.
If you are considering RVA, please contact Debbie Woods (920) 848-4471 to be added to our list to receive more information as it becomes available.

42 – COVID-19 Update – Face Coverings Communication
May 18, 2021
On Monday, May 11, 2021, the Board of Education approved making face coverings optional starting June 4, 2021. This means that we will continue to require face coverings for the remainder of our school year (through June 3, 2021).
Please note that even though our Board has made face coverings optional in the buildings, the TSA and CDC have extended the requirement of face coverings on public transportation through September 13, 2021. Our buses are considered public transportation, therefore if your child will be riding the bus for summer school, athletics, or other activities they will be required to wear a face covering. Please see the following webpages for more information. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/face-masks-public-transportation.html)
As we receive further guidance from the CDC, we will keep you informed as to if/how it may affect our current operational practices. Please note that we appreciate your support as we continue to take actions in what we believe to be the best interest of our students, staff, families, and the communities that we serve.

41 – COVID-19 Update – Operational Modification Due to Vaccine
To Parents/Guardians:
As the vaccination process continues to create greater opportunities for staff, families, and community members to receive the vaccine, we continue to modify our operational practices. It is important to note that over the past five days we have avoided requiring four staff members to quarantine due to being a close contact because in each instance the staff member was vaccinated. Below is the guidance that we’re following which relates to both adults as well as students 16 years and older:
Adults and students (16 years and older) who have received their COVID-19 vaccinations (2 doses for Pfizer / Moderna or 1 dose of Johnson & Johnson) and who are two weeks beyond receiving their final dose, would not need to quarantine in the case of being a close contact provided they are not exhibiting symptoms.
We are sharing this information so that you as parents, students, and staff members are aware of the benefit of not needing to quarantine if you meet the vaccine requirement listed above and are later identified as a close contact.
If you have further questions please contact your child’s school and leave a message for the school nurse. We will have someone get back to you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dean R. Hess
Superintendent

The LMC will be open until 6:00pm.
Attention 5th hour Study Hall students: After 1st lunch, all 5th hour students who have Miss Thiel or Mr. Heisel for study hall, should report directly to the LMC. All other study halls should report to the commons today. Sign outs begin on Monday.
A message from Principal Moore:
Good morning everyone – welcome to the start of 2nd semester!
It wasn’t easy – but we made it through Semester One! Lots of challenges and changes – but we’re halfway there! Hopefully, everyone was able to really focus and finish up the first semester well.
As you know – we are now back in school 5 days per week. This week and next, we’ll run a regular bell schedule with no homerooms or learning labs scheduled at this point. Let’s really work to get off to a strong start!
Please make sure to pay extra attention to our COVID mitigation strategies. In the last week or so, correct mask-wearing started to slide – also social distancing, especially at lunch. We understand that you are probably tired of this pandemic – we all are – but these are things that we have to do. Masks have to be worn over the mouth and nose – in classrooms and hallways. Social distancing is 6 feet at noon.
Thanks in advance for your efforts to meet these expectations. We really do want the school climate to be a positive one – it’s more difficult than normal given the pandemic but we’ll do our best. We’d like to focus on positive things – ideas for helping you be successful in classes; creative things that we can do to bring some fun and excitement back into school. We’re open to ideas – Student Council is working to come up with ideas for the 2nd semester – and again, we’ll do our best. We hope to be able to focus on these types of positive projects instead of diverting our focus with addressing basic COVID expectations. These are safety precautions that simply need to be followed.
Thanks again – have a good day, everyone!
