Middle School Plan for Short-Term Transition to Virtual Learning

 

This communication outlines the plan that middle schools would follow in the event that an individual school may need to transition to virtual learning for a short period of time due to staffing shortages, or a spike in student COVID cases. Since the transition would be short-term, this plan ensures that students will maintain a more consistent daily schedule and curriculum pacing.

OASD Free School Meal and Feeding America Distribution 

 

Starting Wednesday, February 3rd, we will once again be partnering with Feeding America to help distribute the Farm to Family boxes along with our school meals.  To accommodate for this, we will be going down to one meal distribution on Wednesdays.  The distribution will be from 4:30-6:30pm at Oshkosh West High School. 

Family food boxes will be available to anyone in the community.  Five days worth of meals from the school district will also be available for any child 18 and under.  We encourage families looking for meals for eAcademy students, meals for student's virtual days or meals for children not yet enrolled in school to visit this distribution. 

We are asking that anyone interested in picking up boxes or meals not enter the parking lot prior to 4pm to ensure students and staff can safely exit the parking lot before the distribution begins. 

 

 

 

 

OASD Student Daily Health Screen (Self-check)

OASD parents/guardians/caregivers must monitor their children for signs of infectious illness every day. This is especially critical during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Students who are sick cannot attend school in-person. The following self-check should be completed by parents/guardians/caregivers for each child before sending them to school.

Prior to sending your child to school:

STEP 1:   Check their temperature.

STEP 2:   Complete the following self-check questions. 

If you are able to answer “yes” to either of the following questions, DO NOT send your child to school.  Instead, contact your child’s school AND primary care provider to notify them of the symptoms/situation.  Additional guidance, including how long the student should remain out of school and how they can access online instruction will be provided.

Has your child experienced any of the following symptoms beyond their baseline in the past 24 hours?

  • Fever of 100.4 degrees or higher / chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath / difficulty breathing
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea

  • Or at least two of the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Muscle pain or body aches
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea
