Parent/Family News - October 8

Hybrid Learning Continues...It is getting busy...

Locally and nationally, we continue to deal with the impacts of Covid-19. Today’s report from the Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Education was as anticipated. Over the last three weeks our COVID case rates have increased locally from 10.52 to 17.7 to 26.94 per 10,000 residents, with increased community transmission with unknown contacts in Isanti County. For Isanti Middle School, this means that we will remain in a Hybrid learning Model for the foreseeable future.

We have a variety of things for you this week. There is a lot going on and if you need to come back because you don't have enough time in one sitting, whatever works for you is GREATLY appreciated.
