I would like to thank staff and students for a successful start to our hybrid learning model. Things have come together well and our building is looking great. We are getting better every day.
A couple of updates to make you aware of:
1 - Minnesota Department of Education Guidance on Covid exposure/case confirmation Important Clarification on COVID-19 Exclusion Guidance (3) (2).eml
2. Virtual Friday Schedule (First run is tomorrow) - Students are all expected to synchronously login to classes on Fridays. We are running an abbreviated schedule of all classes. Here is the schedule: Virtual Friday.pdf
These documents likely will need to be downloaded in order to view.
3. Full hybrid implementation next week. Students will either be in person or virtual every day next week. Staff have reviewed the schedule and expectations with students thoroughly this week and we are prepared to begin. Schedules have been provided in previous messages and are available on the school website: http://ms.dlschools.net/ (Cut and paste into browser if necessary)
4. Football and Volleyball begin for 7th and 8th graders next week. Practice will be after school until approximately 5:15 on students days of in person attendance. Registration is required. See website under Latest News.

Attendance - Please report attendance as you have in past years to the office (218-847-9228) if you have child who will not be attending either in person or virtually.

6th Grade Schedules - 6th grade schedules have added either Distance Learning courses or Cohort courses for attendance/grading during our hybrid/distance learning situation. This does look confusing and we are working to clean up the appearance. We apologize for the appearance but please know that all courses listed are relevant.

Friday, September 18 all students will attend virtually. They will be trained how to do this over the course of the week.
Activities may be assigned to those students not in attendance during the week - Students should check email for information and assigned activities.
Landing Page - DLMS will utilize a landing page for students/parents again this year. This page will have each teacher listed and will have weekly activities/lessons/information. The Landing Page will be prominently displayed on the DLMS website for access.
We are excited to get students back in the building and are looking forward to this journey together.
