3. As shared previously, we have had a recent uptick with quarantines/isolations with our bus drivers. Our maintenance team has stepped up and served graciously as substitute bus drivers. We need all families to plan accordingly for alternate transportation should the necessity arise to cancel a bus route, etc. We thoroughly appreciate everyone's efforts to do their part, so we may continue to offer in person instruction in our schools!

4. Effective January 13, 2021, our school board meetings will begin at 6:00 pm. The meetings will be held in the cafeteria at Cascade Middle School, 6423 S. CR 200 W, Clayton, IN 46118. The monthly meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of each month.

The 2020-21 school year will be a series of ebb and flow. We aim to provide in person instruction, although certain factors may necessitate a change to Extended Home Learning for a period of time (i.e. staffing scarcity, executive orders, etc.). After each transition, we plan to return to in person instruction. The safety protocols in place in our schools (cleaning, hand sanitizing, social distancing, wearing a mask, contact tracing, staying home when ill, etc.) are effective. We must all do our part outside of our schools as well to assist in mitigating the spread!

Our Guiding Principles

• Adapting personal behaviors to ensure everyone's health.
• Respecting the necessity of some inconveniences and forego some favored activities.
• Demonstrating flexibility and resilience to adapt to the fluid situation.

Hendricks County moved to the Red designation level on December 9, 2020. Our medical officer has approved our plans to continue to offer in person instruction and continue to offer our extra-curricular activities. His approval is based on our continued safety measures (masks, social distancing, hand washing, hand sanitizing, contact tracing, cleaning & disinfecting, and staying home when symptomatic) and adjustments in spectator attendance at our extra-curricular events. The information button below provides details on Pre-K - 12 recommendations for each level of community spread.
