Mandated School Closing

Dear Parent/Guardian:

The last two weeks have been very difficult for all of us. As parents, grandparents, caregivers, friends, and neighbors, our personal and professional lives have been greatly impacted. As the superintendent, I have been working with our principals to monitor our current situation. This includes providing learning opportunities for our students while safeguarding our employees and the work environment. On a daily basis, guidance is received from our Governor and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Returning from Spring Break will be much different than anticipated. South Side School District will be asking very few employees to report to work beginning Monday, March 30. Our plan is to have a person available in each office to take phone calls and answer questions. Our custodial and maintenance departments will be performing selected tasks necessary to keep the facility open and safe. Bus drivers will be running routes delivering meals to some of our students beginning at 10:30 a.m. Two days of meals will be delivered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our school nurse will conduct a wellness check for all employees who report. Again, all of these functions will be performed while adhering to suggested guidelines and protocols.

In the days to come, teachers and administrators will have conversations about the immediate future. It is our goal to provide meaningful learning opportunities for our students during this most difficult time. The district has several options at its disposal. More than likely, our efforts will include a combination of strategies to reach all students. In the meantime, we have encouraged our teachers to reach out to students and parents alike and be on call to assist. As is always the case, feel free to contact be directly if you have any questions.
