Cedarburg Schools Re-Entry Plan Fall 2020 |
|
|
|
|
As we look ahead to the upcoming school year and the important decisions on how we are handling COVID-19 in the school setting, we want to assure you that we are approaching this work thoughtfully and collaboratively. The health and safety of our students and employees and ensuring that we provide a rigorous, enriching and high-quality education for all students are our highest priorities.
Our goal is to inform and provide you with an update every Wednesday throughout the summer months as our re-entry plan is developed. As a district, we must prepare to be nimble, agile and flexible to handle the ever-evolving restrictions and guidance on COVID-19. The plans developed yesterday may look different than the plans developed tomorrow. The one constant is change. With this in mind, please know that our plans will change.

A Message from Student Services |

All CSD students will be required to wear a cloth face covering when inside any school building at the start of the 2020-21 school year. This will remain in effect until the state-issued mandate expires on September 28, 2020, at which point the Cedarburg School District will then put into place the face-covering requirement guidelines that were approved by the School Board on July 29, 2020.
Please take a moment to review this Fact Sheet with your student, prior to the start of school, regarding cloth face coverings and healthy practices. We've outlined some key factors to consider when choosing a cloth face covering for your student.

In compliance with the State of Wisconsin face covering mandate, the Cedarburg School District requires face coverings while on school grounds and engaging in school related activities, unless specifically noted as an exception in the State of WI Face Covering Order. As such, if students are in need of an exception to the State of WI Mandate to wear a face covering, we are requiring that parents provide medical documentation of the health condition and the circumstances under which a face covering may or may not be used at certain times by a student. Please have your child’s medical provider complete the applicable portion of the attached accommodation request form and return the completed form to the District office. All medical documentation submitted to the District is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If there are medical circumstances when a face covering cannot be worn by the student because of a health condition, the District will need to make reasonable accommodations to protect the health and safety of all students. These accommodations include, but are not limited to, maintaining 6 feet of social distancing at all times when students who are not wearing face coverings are required to be near each other.

A Friendly Reminder: The Learning Environment Selection Window is now open through Friday, August 21 at 11:59 PM in Skyward Family Access. Your selection is important as it will assist the district in ensuring the most stable staffing configuration for our students. If a selection is not made by Friday, your student(s) will be assigned to the in-person option when school begins on September 8th. If you experience problems with the form, submit a support request using our Skyward Family Access Support Form.

The WIAA has pushed back the official start dates for fall sports. Girls tennis, girls golf, boys/girls cross country and girls swim & dive started on August 17th. Football, boys soccer and boys/girls volleyball will begin on September 7th. All extracurricular activities will follow the Cedarburg School District Extracurricular Guidelines that have been in place since July 1st. It's important to know that any student who attends school virtually may also participate in extracurricular activities this school year.
The WIAA has created sport specific guidelines for practices and competitions. Each coach has created a plan to ensure social distancing when possible. We have modified our practices and drills to provide a safe experience for our student athletes at Cedarburg High School. In addition, when student athletes travel this upcoming school year all seats will be wiped down before and after competitions, seats will be assigned, windows will be open and masks are required. Student athletes will only use locker rooms during the school year in small groups to change after the regular school day.
Finally, all clubs will meet virtually moving forward. This is an effort to mitigate person to person contact. We are confident that we can still provide a high quality experience for our students at CHS!
