Middleton School District Fall 2022 Plan for Continuous and Safe Operation for In-Person Learning

Middleton School District No. 134 Safe Return to School Checklist

Middleton School District's Plan for ESSER Funds

 January 3, 2022

Middleton School District Students, Parents, and Staff,

As we return to school following, what we hope was, a refreshing break from school, we anticipate that there may be questions regarding the school district’s response to COVID.  There have been several developments over the last several weeks.  Between those developments and the rise of a new variant, we felt it important to reach out and share the adjustments we plan to make to our process and give an opportunity to ask questions and leave comments on those processes.

First, there have been changes to the recommended number of days students should stay home if they test positive for COVID.  Previously, Middleton School District has required students to stay home for 10 days.  We will now require students to stay home for 5 days after a positive test, onset of symptoms, or as directed by a medical professional or until doctor has released them to come back to school.

Second, students who have been exposed to someone with a confirmed positive test previously were asked to stay home for 7 days.  We will now be asking students to stay home for 5 days if they were exposed to someone with a confirmed positive test.

All other exceptions and expectations will remain the same as found in the “safe return to school” documents on our district website (https://id01001484.schoolwires.net/Domain/1837) which will be updated with these changes.

As we have stated before, one of the best things we can do is to stay home if you are sick, whether you have tested or not.  We appreciate the patience, understanding, and cooperation most have shown during the first semester of our school year and feel we have been able to have an overall positive experience at school.  We hope to be able to continue that for the rest of this year.

If you would like to offer any public comment or ask questions regarding our COVID plan, you can do so by following this link.  It is a simple response box for comments and questions.  Questions that are asked by multiple people will be included in a “Frequently Asked Questions” section of our COVID response page on our website (linked above). 
Thank you again and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Middleton School District Superintendent Marc C. Gee

Dear Middleton Parents, Guardians and Students:

As the beginning of school approaches many have started to ask about how the district plans to open in reference to COVID and recent developments in the spread of the virus.

First and foremost, when you have questions, please reach out to board members and administration as they are most likely to have the most accurate data regarding district level planning. Second, as long as is necessary, we will plan to post relevant information for parents and students on our website at: https://id01001484.schoolwires.net/covid

Currently, Middleton School District does not have plans to require masks or specific COVID vaccinations of students or staff.

As a district, we respect the decision of those who feel they need to wear masks and receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We would encourage all parents to consult with their family physician to determine if wearing a mask or vaccinating your students, or both, would be appropriate.

As a district, we will be monitoring conditions in our district and working with our local health department to determine best plans and practices when it comes to our response to the health needs of our students. However, our number one goal is to keep our students in school and we will do all we can to achieve that end.

One last note: As a school district we do not operate independently from other organizations. We have many coordinated services with other organizations, both public and private, as well as almost daily interactions with other schools in our area through extra-curricular activities and other programs. We cannot dictate to these organizations what requirements they will put in place for their students and/or employees. This may require adaptation of our policies in order for us to continue our participation with these groups.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Marc C. Gee
Superintendent
Middleton School District #134
