updated 1.15.2021

 

Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh, in consultation with the Jefferson County Board of Education, public health, district leadership, and school leadership, has made the decision to return middle school and high school students (grades 6-12) to in-person instruction in a Hybrid model beginning Monday, January 25. A number of factors influenced the decision including current county-level COVID-19 case data, a strong desire of both students and families to return to in-person learning, a larger pool of guest teachers (substitutes) which can improve our ability to sustain operations while responding to virus spread and quarantines, and the improved availability of COVID-19 testing.

Other Key Information 

  • Food Services: The district will continue to provide free meals to all students (PreK-12) through the end of the 2020-21 school year.
