An Important Message from Cook County Schools:
As an incident command team we had a deep data discussion that has led us to a tough decision that we have to make to keep our students, staff, and community safe. After the current data and the letter that was received from the Minnesota Department of Health, our current county data, the regional health care resource capacity and the state of our school we have made the difficult decision to NOT PIVOT our 4th and 5th grade students. This is difficult on many levels and our intentions are to keep safety a priority as we navigate this spike in COVID -19 cases in our county, state and country. As a team, we are also having an ongoing discussion about our learning model between Thanksgiving and Winter Holiday Break. We will continue to update our school families and community in the near future. Please remember to have unconditional positive regard for those who have been part of this decision and we must support one another in these tough situations.
