Good evening, Herington schools have established a COVID-19 team of individuals consisting of administrators, our school nurse, board of education members, parent representatives, and the Dickinson County Health officer. This team will meet every other week to review our County metrics related to COVID-19. They will make a determination about which learning format to make available to all students for the following 2 weeks. The first meeting took place last evening and it was determined that U S D 487 may continue to operate in the “green”. This means that preschool through 12th grade students will be able to attend in person for the next two weeks. Learning format information does not affect families that have chosen remote learning, they may continue to be remote learners. Specific information regarding changes in activities or other expectations related to learning formats can be found on the Kansas Schools Gating Criteria document that was shared with your family at our Stop, Drop, and Roll event. A digital copy can be located on our website under the documents tab of the menu. Learning format information will be shared using this automated calling system, the school web page, and the U S D 487 Facebook page each time the COVID-19 team meets. In the case of a learning format change from in-person to hybrid, or remote for all students, staff members will work to ensure students have the necessary materials to continue learning in the “new” format.
The Lady Railers had a great night of volleyball at Solomon. The JV gained some valuable experience, and the Varsity defeated Rural Vista and Centre in two sets each. Great job, ladies! Go Railers
