COVID-19 Information

Dear Parents

Hello! As we approach Christmas break we know there will be students / families who have to isolate or quarantine due to Covid. As the school nurse I am asking for your help in communicating with me via email during break. I will contact trace any positive Covid cases for students in the classroom who are symptomatic prior to Christmas break. We would also like to have names of students in isolation or quarantine prior to return to school on January 5. 

EXAMPLE:

If you have a student test positive for Covid, please email me answers to the following questions:

• Student name
• Date student became symptomatic
• The school nurse has to contact trace 48 hours before symptoms start at school. If your student was at school 48 hours before their symptoms started, please ask them where and with whom they ate lunch? 
• Date Louisa County Public Health has determined student can return to school or resume normal activities

If you have a student who is in quarantine due to Covid exposure, please answer the following questions: 

• Student name (If you have multiple in quarantine please name them all)
• Date student was exposed to Covid
• Date Louisa County Public Health has determined student can return to school or resume normal activities

I appreciate your communication! 

Kathy Will, R.N.

If you are interested in enrolling your child(ren) in the Edgenuity online learning option provided by Louisa-Muscatine CSD, please complete the form linked below.  If your child is currently enrolled in Edgenuity classes, and you would like to continue, please complete the form.  The form needs to be completed once for each child.

Edgenuity is an online learning platform that employs teachers certified in the state of Iowa to teach and provide feedback to students on the Iowa Core standards.  The program is flexible, in that it is available to students at their own schedule during the day.  Learning projects and classwork is submitted to teachers online, and quizzes and tests are completed on the computer.  Elementary students do have printed workbooks with practice activities to help with instruction.  

In order to receive credit, courses must be 100% complete by the end of the semester.  The Louisa-Muscatine virtual attendance policy is that students must spend a minimum of 120 minutes per day actively participating on the Edgenuity platform.  Half days will be counted for every 60 minutes of work Monday through Friday each week.  This is monitored by Edgenuity reporting to the district.  The semester will begin on Monday, January 11th, and will conclude on Thursday, May 20th.  Spring break will be scheduled according to the district calendar.

Students will be requested to make a quarter-long commitment to working online.  A grace period will be granted to drop the program if it is not a good fit for your family.  Secondary students will be contacted about enrolling in elective courses via email.  

If you have any questions, please contact Amy Lantigua, Curriculum Director, by calling the Central Administration Office at 319-726-3541 extension 354.
