EACSD will begin school year with hybrid Return to Learn plan

Monday, July 27 the Eastern Allamakee Community School District (EACSD) released its Return to Learn plan to the public for the 2020-2021 school year. The full plan, along with some quick facts and other detailed information, can be found on the school district’s website at www.e-allamakee.k12.ia.us.

Beginning with the first day of school, August 24, and currently planned through at least the end of September, the EACSD will implement a hybrid plan for learning which will include on-site instruction in classrooms Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, with required learning from home through Google Classroom being utilized each Wednesday. Facemasks are heavily encouraged in school, but not required - except on buses. The district encourages parents to provide their own transportation to and from school, if possible.

The district is also asking that students’ temperatures and a COVID-19 screening (available through the district) be taken at home prior to the start of each school day. Additional details on all of the above, plus arrangements for lunches, sanitation measures, nursing care and other matters can be found on the EACSD website, www.e-allamakee.k12.ia.us.
