The district will continue to notify staff, families and our community of any positive cases within our schools. This will help ensure that the majority of our students can continue to learn in-person, five days a week. As long as we can confirm that students in a classroom have maintained at least 3 feet of distance from the positive individual and that masks were consistently worn when required, we expect that only the positive individual will need to quarantine.

An update to these measures allows local health authorities to quarantine fewer students in the event of a positive case. We continue to work with Douglas Public Health Network to implement quarantine and isolation measures if a positive COVID-19 case is confirmed in one of our schools.

Following these guidelines reduces the impact of quarantine measures on our students.

Our students will not be required to wear masks:.

Exceptions exist for students eligible for a Section 504 Plan (under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) (under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). Per federal law, students must also wear face coverings on school buses, which are considered public transportation. This rule is mandated by the state and aligns with the GovernorвЂ™s recently implemented mask requirement for all indoor public spaces.

At this time, all students age 5 and older, staff and visitors to our schools are required to wear face coverings while indoors.

ДЇollowing are a few key points regarding our health and safety protocols:

You can access our district registration page at and our Back to School Hub at. You can reach out to your studentвЂ™s school with questions, and schools will be welcoming families in the coming days to finish any necessary paperwork in person. Everyone needs to begin the process online. To ensure the start of the year is safe and focused on the well-being of our students, I would like to share more information about our protocols intended to keep our entire community healthy and our students in classrooms.ДЇirst, a reminder that if you havenвЂ™t started the registration process for the 2021-22 school year, please visit our website to access our registration guide and related materials.

We look forward to reconnecting with children and families, making sure our students feel welcome and comfortable in our classrooms, and establishing the foundation for a year full of deep learning and meaningful engagement. There is so much to be excited about now that we can welcome all of our students back to our schools in-person and full-time. Thank you for your ongoing support as we prepare for a safe and positive start to the upcoming school year. Our top goals this year will be to ensure our kids are healthy and safe, have access to full-time, in-person learning, and receive the extra support they need following last yearвЂ™s educational disruptions. I remain confident that this year will be full of deep learning and opportunities for students to fully engage in their education. We will continue to share updates and details about the start of the new year.

If you have concerns to share about this mandate, I strongly encourage you to contact OHA, ODEВ and/or the GovernorвЂ™s OfficeВ directly. You can access the information ODE shared with superintendents hereВ as well asВ an update on COVID in Oregon here. This directive also clarifies that masks will not be required for outdoor activities, including athletics, this school year. ODE and OHA indicated that they will be reexamining this indoor mandate monthly with the intent of returning indoor masking decisions to local control. This directive will be signed into law this month and districts have been mandated to follow this order. Oregon superintendents met virtually with leaders at ODE and OHA Monday afternoon to receive information about the GovernorвЂ™s new directive. We share in the frustrations that the GovernorвЂ™s mask mandate has created and do believe that choice is an important element of the school experience. This was a shift in previous guidance released by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) on July 22 that strongly advised masks, but ultimately allowed parents to make the decision. As you are likely aware, Governor Brown released a statement on July 29 declaring that masks would be required indoors for all K-12 public, private, and charter schools for the 2021-22 school year.
