Pettis County RV School District

Dear Northwest Community, We are eagerly anticipating the return of our students to school! We were very glad to have been able to complete our school year in-person last year and have every intention of completing this year in-person as well. We are scheduled to return to school this fall on August 24, 2021. We will return to school under our Safe Return to In-Person Instruction (SRCSP) plan which is posted to the homepage of our website. This plan is required to be re-evaluated periodically and you are welcome to provide input. We encourage everyone to remain at home when they are not feeling well and will continue to provide a home health screening tool (checklist of symptoms) for students and staff. We will not screen all students for fevers at the beginning of each day. Currently it is required, per federal order, for all people to wear face coverings while on school buses. Masks will be provided on the buses for all students. Masks are not required at school. However, students will be supported fully if they choose to wear masks. Students who are placed on quarantine will be provided alternative methods of instruction while away from school. Together we can best serve our students. Thank you again for your continued communication and cooperation with the school district. Respectfully, Amy Fagg Superintendent
