November 17 Covid Update
In support of a community mitigation effort developed over the past week with city and county officials, Waterloo Schools (along with Cedar Falls Schools) will not hold in-person classes the week of Thanksgiving (Monday and Tuesday, November 23-24) and the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday following Thanksgiving (November 30-December 2) to minimize the spread of Covid-19. Classes will be provided virtually during these five days of instruction. In-person classes for students will resume on Thursday, December 3.

How will this help?

• With the increase in cases in our county, we also are experiencing staff shortages to adequately cover all of the in-person classes. Moving to virtual instruction for five days will provide temporary relief on staff.
• This proactive, coordinated effort was recommended and supported by Black Hawk County Public Health, in collaboration with Iowa Department of Public Health. Despite the requests from elected and health officials for Iowans to limit gatherings, families will likely be around others during the holiday week. Going virtual gives public health additional days to monitor the impact of the Thanksgiving holiday on exposures and cases.  

Please remind your child to bring home his/her district-issued device and charger by Friday, Nov. 20 so they are prepared to do online instruction beginning the morning of Monday, Nov. 23. Attendance will be taken as the learning is required. Students currently enrolled in our virtual program will continue their online program as scheduled. 

Click here to review the schedules for elementary, middle and high schools. High school students will move to DAILY online instruction during the five-day period, then resume the A/B schedule when in-person classes begin on Thursday, December 3. 

Tips for families:

• Try to find a dedicated space for your child to learn where their device can be plugged in.
• Print out/write down the daily schedule so your child can easily follow it and be on time with logging in to classes.
• Be sure your internet service is working, as virtual learning requires online access. 

More information will be coming from your student’s schools and teachers.

Participation in schoolwork is no longer optional for students like it was during the spring shutdown. Participation in instruction and school work is now MANDATORY, which means attendance will be taken and grades recorded. Attendance and truancy policies will be followed.
