Reopening Schools Plan 2020-21

Please note we will continue to monitor guidance, adjust our reopening safety measures as necessary, and comply with any government-issued emergency orders to ensure the safety of our staff and students. 

Emergency Order #1

Executive Order #90

Executive Order #94

The goal of the Mayville School District Reopening Plan is to provide students, staff, and families with the opportunity for in-person teaching and learning as much as possible, while also maintaining the ability to flex and shift as necessary.

“The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school.”

With the district's continued emphasis on student safety and health precautions, we will be doing what we can, with guidance from local health officials, to mitigate the risk for our students and staff. Knowing this, please be aware that our plans cannot eliminate all risks.

Return to Learning Goals

• Option 1: In-person 5 days per week with safety guidelines in place (at-home learning available, when necessary)
• Option 2: Virtual instruction

Timeline & Key Dates

• August 26 & 27: District-wide Open House (families will be scheduled in small groups and COVID-19 safety protocol will be followed)
• September 1: First day of school for all students

Families can expect to receive updates via our family communication system relating to school supplies, registration, etc. 

Facility & Cleaning Guidelines

Masks and Face Coverings

Face coverings or masks will be required for all students and staff. Additional details can be found in our Mask Memo to Families sent out on August 7th. An extension to the mask mandate was issued on 11/17/20 with Board of Education approval. This extension was again moved out until further notice, approved by the Board of Education on 1/18/21.  

Facility Use

Our facilities continue to remain closed to the community at this time. Should it be determined it is safe to open our facilities to community use once again, we will share our guidelines on this webpage.

Cleaning Procedures

Mayville School District has a routine cleaning regimen in place to help reduce the spread of germs and communicable disease. In addition to our regular cleaning and disinfection, we are increasing the cleaning of high-touch areas and hard and soft surface items throughout the day. We will follow guidelines established/recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our local and state health departments.

How Families Can Help

We are ONE Team!

We all play a role in not just helping reduce the spread of communicable disease, but also supporting one another through these unique times. We are asking our students, staff and families to encourage our district/school-wide behaviors of being safe, respectful, responsible, and kind as we move forward together during these unprecedented times. Additionally, we ask that everyone continues to practice regular preventive actions (see flyer in English, Spanish, Hmong and Mandarin Chinese) including:

• Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Make sure to wash your fingertips. This is especially important after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing into your hands, and before preparing or consuming food.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
• If children are feeling sick, please keep them home from school. Families should have a plan in place for keeping your child home, picking up your child if they are sent home sick, and if schools are closed.

Learn more about the symptoms and treatment of Coronavirus at the CDC website. Those at highest risk for Coronavirus complications are older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems or heart, lung and kidney disease. See how Coronavirus is spread. It can take two to 14 days for a person to develop symptoms after initial exposure to the virus; the average is about five days.
