Isanti Middle School

As you've seen in Dr. Rudolph's communication, the state reports our county COVID case rate continues to grow. This week’s number is at 35.66, up approximately a point from last week. There continues to be widespread community transmission, and Isanti Public Health tells us they see no sign of the number decreasing soon, because cases are continuing to grow throughout the state.

Because our school transmission remains low, we will remain in the K-12 Hybrid Learning model through the end of the first trimester (December 4), unless we are directed to move into a more restrictive model.

This week, in addition to the weekly meeting with Isanti County Public Health, the district met with a regional support team including MDH and MDE. We reviewed school case counts and local county data. After discussing our plans, case data, contact tracing and mitigation strategies, our state partners commended our district for minimizing school transmission. Both MDE and MDH stated they fully support us staying in hybrid over the next few weeks, but we need to prepare for a future shift to distance learning. They warned that we may have little notice when that time arrives.

Students, on days you are Learning from Home you can access the Virtual Resource rooms we are setting up. Instructional Assistants will be available to help students when they access the Google Meets Resource Rooms.

While we are still in the Hybrid Model, there is plenty of room in classrooms for students to have their jackets on the back of desks and chairs. As a result, we don't anticipate students needing to use lockers in the foreseeable future.

Learning from home? Any day that you are "Learning from Home", we need you to enter your Attendance using the Attendance form. Please use the form linked in your appropriate Google Classroom.
