(KNZA)--On-site learning will resume at the Hiawatha Elementary School on Friday, October 9.
The USD 415 Board of Education made the unanimous decision during a special meeting Monday morning after receiving an update from the district health committee and administrators.
Superintendent Lonnie Moser said 14 elementary school teachers who were in quarantine will be returning this week, with the majority coming back Wednesday and Thursday. An additional elementary teacher is to return October 15.
Elementary School nurse Whitney McCauley said one additional elementary student has tested positive for COVID-19 since the last special board meeting on September 25.
Students at the elementary school have been learning remotely since September 24.
In other business, the board discussed homecoming festivities and the upcoming parent-teacher conferences.
The board was told parent-teacher conferences will primarily be held virtually but other options are available for parents.
Hiawatha High School homecoming festivities will occur this week with modifications.
The bonfire games Thursday evening will require masks and there will be no contact games.
The homecoming parade, which will begin at 2:00 Friday afternoon at the high school, will proceed through town with no stops along the route –including no downtown pep rally. The parade will proceed west on Oregon Street, south on 8th Street, east on Iowa Street and will finish on Red Hawk Drive. Community members are asked to spread out throughout the parade route.
