Hello again! Today, I want to clarify what Governor Kelly’s “Stay-at-Home Order” that was issued earlier today means for our current operating procedure.
First of all, the governor’s executive order does not change our Continuous Learning Plan. USD 223 will continue to operate with the online classroom routine that we have in place.
However, due to the more restrictive guidelines in the “Stay-at-Home Order,” USD 223 will not serve meals Monday, March 30 or Tuesday, March 31. I will update you on the status of our meal plan after we hear from the Washington County Healthcare Advisory Council, which is meeting Tuesday, March 31.
Parents if your student Chromebook is having problem with any extensions or websites such as Zoom, Adobe Flash, Adobe Connect, etc. Please update by going to settings>about chrome os>Check for updates.
Please Fill out this survey to provide USD 223 with the information need to further proceed with the Continuous Learning Program. https://forms.gle/gTdTMf5hR2TzqWTh7

KDHE release
KSHSAA Spring Sports announcement
The Commissioner of Education has recommended that all public schools close their doors for the following week. Therefore, Hanover, Linn, and the Barnes Preschool will not have class for the week of March 16 - March 20. The custodial staff will be the only staff in the buildings so please contact the district office with any questions you may have. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your patience and understanding through this trying time. We will continue to update you with any changes as they happen.

Parents,
Regarding the current situation with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19); USD 223 Custodians are continuing to keep their respective schools as clean as possible. We have a respectable stock of cleaning chemicals and equipment; however, more will be purchased to ensure we do not fall behind in our stocks.
I have been in contact with the Washington County Health Department Director to discuss measures and coordination, she will set up a meeting soon to allay any concerns or misinformation to various public employees. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has a useful public update dated March 5, 2020 at http://www.kdheks.gov/coronavirus/publicupdate/COVID-19_March_5_2020.pdf and a helpful tool kit for reacting to this disease at http://www.kdheks.gov/coronavirus/toolkit/COVID-19_Toolkit.pdf, particularly at the end of the report, where it has a Family Action Plan for COVID-19.
We at USD 223 take the health of your children seriously and will continue to put our best foot forward to provide a clean, safe environment for your child’s education.
Respectfully Submitted,
