2023-2024 Covid Return to Learn Plan
Perkins County Schools looks forward to the opening of school on August 17, 2023. As educators, we believe that it is in the best interest of students to receive in-class and face-to-face instruction to the extent it is feasible under existing circumstances. The COVID-19 virus is still impacting our country and state. Keeping our students, staff, and community safe is a priority as we return for the 2023-2024 school year. Throughout the year, PCS will continue to work with state leadership, Nebraska Department of Education, and the Southwest Nebraska Department of Health to help make the best decisions for our students and school district.
PCS has developed protocols and plans to re-open our school buildings for the 2023-2024 school year, with guidance and involvement from Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department, NDE, and local health officials. This plan and additional plans are not exhaustive in their existence. Changes in protocols, plans, and strategies may change as more is learned about the virus or as we transition through risk levels.
Perkins County Schools will fall into one of three levels for the opening, as well as throughout the 2023-2024 school year. These levels are: (1) low risk of spread (2) moderate/elevated risk of spread, or (3) high risk of spread.
These risk levels will be indicated by color: Green, Orange, Red
Please note, there is a possibility of alternative learning plans being implemented at all risk levels.
