The purpose of this post is to inform you of an individual testing positive for COVID-19.  This positive test does affect the School.  The individual who has tested positive will be excluded from school until they have been determined to be no longer infectious by their local health department.

Here is how this case is being handled as we work with the local Health Department.  The children and staff who interacted closely with the individual(s) within the school district will be contacted by their local health department and/or by the school..

Close contacts, determined by local health departments and school district staff, will be excluded from school for 14 days from their last date of exposure to the positive individual, and will be monitored for symptoms by their local health department. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a virus that is spread even before individuals show symptoms. It spreads from person to person through droplets created when we cough, sneeze, talk, sing or laugh. Thus, it is ever important for all students, family members, and staff members to closely watch for symptoms that are outside of their “normal” range, wear masks when safer distancing isn’t obtainable and to stay home if they are ill. If symptoms occur, please contact your medical provider to request testing. 

We also want to thank those individuals who have contacted our Medical Screener, Christine Nordness, when they have had COVID - symptom related questions.  We encourage people to call or email when there are questions.  The pattern we are seeing is that people are having close contacts in the community with COVID positive individuals.

The school district will continue cleaning and disinfecting the school to control the spread of illness. 

Please remember to slow the spread of COVID-19:

  • Stay home when ill.
  • Wear a face covering, when in public if physically able.
  • Wash hands frequently with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are unavailable.
  • Clean frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, tables, etc.
  • Limit unnecessary travel, events, or large gatherings. 

We all need to continue to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to keep our students and staff members safe. Please contact Christine Nordness, Medical Screener for further information.

Thank you,

Holly Jones

The After School Program is starting again!

The School District of Solon Springs will be offering its after-school program for students in grades 4K-12 during the 2020-21 school year. The program runs Monday-Thursday 3:30-5:00. Transportation home is provided for all.

The popular play-based after-school care option is open for 4K, Kindergarten, and Children’s House students. 

Elementary age students are given the time to complete homework AND participate in enrichment opportunities. Each evening has a different theme:

Mondays

Tuesdays

Wednesdays

Thursdays

Guided Computer Time

Game Night

Outdoors

Cooking


Middle/High school students have tutoring available Tuesday - Thursday from 3:30-5:00.

Many times students receive failing grades because of missing assignments or because they could have used a little extra help in completing an assignment. If test grades are low, some extra help in studying for the test could have made all the difference. Often, time spent on basic skills will make all the difference in a child’s education throughout their school career. Strongly consider signing your student up for the after school sessions. Sign ups can be for either one night or all nights available.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM OPERATION FOR THIS YEAR

*Students staying for the after school program must have a signed registration form returned to the school office. This includes students in grades 6-12. (We have had a few students who told their parents they were staying after school when they were not.)

Registration  forms are available in the school office or here.

*Masks must still be worn in the building or outside if not 6 feet apart.

*The staff will be leaving at 5:00. There will be no one to supervise your child after 5:00. It is important for us to know if your child will ride the bus home or you will be giving your child a ride home. Plans other than what is indicated on the registration form must be arranged in writing. The person supervising after school will not be the person who might take a phone message earlier in the day.

*Students who have behavior problems twice for any session may lose the opportunity to attend. 

If you have any questions or would like to register your student, please feel free to call 378-2263. We look forward to a positive educational partnership with you and your child(ren).

Thank you,

Julie Fromm

After School Program Coordinator
