😷 COVID-19 has changed a lot of in our district. One regular activity that had to be revisited was parent/teacher conferences. Normally they are a ⏰ time for parents to visit in-person with their child's 👩🏻🏫 teacher and are able to chat with them face-to-face in the classroom. Thankfully technologies like 🖥 Zoom are capable of connecting school buildings to parents on the go. |

2020 COVID-19 News Cases Each Week |
|
In an effort to be transparent and also avoid the many rumors that can spread around, the district will be publishing the previous week's COVID-19 cases each Monday. These will be a combined total of students and staff. The total will reflect those that have been confirmed positive through lab results. This number does not mean that each of these cases were in a school building at the time they were positive or contagious, just that they are our student or staff member. Any person who would be considered a direct contact to someone who was positive and would need to quarantine will be notified directly. |

Voting Information for Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2020 |
|
Due to COVID-19, Christian County will be taking precautions for the safety of those in the polling places. Voters arriving at the polls will be greeted at the door with hand sanitizer. Voters are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their safety such as: wearing a face mask, using their own stylus and or pen while inside our polling locations.
Due to social distancing, there will be limited capacity inside each polling location, which may create a longer wait in line to vote. Curbside voting will also be available at each polling location. The peak time to vote is from 6 - 9 a.m. and 4 - 7 p.m. To minimize the wait time, voters are encouraged to vote at a different time. At 7 p.m. voting ends and everyone that is in line at 7 p.m. will be able to vote on Election Day.
Voters that are unable to vote on Election Day or would like to vote early can vote at the County Clerk’s Office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and Saturday October 31, 2020, from 8 a.m. - noon. Voters must call (417) 582-4340, when they arrive at the historic courthouse so we can prepare the application and ballot for them to vote absentee.
