July 24, 2020 update: It's been a while since I've sent out an update, so here are some of the latest developments as we prepare for school in the fall. ***The first student day will be August 24th. ***We are not planning a back to school night this year. Kids can bring their supplies on the first day of school. If you would prefer to bring supplies ahead of time, please contact the elementary or high school and make arrangements. ***There will be an orientation for 6th graders. More information on that to come. ***The governor has relaxed the requirements for people who want to be substitute teachers. Anyone with a two-year degree and who has completed the substitute authorization course through the AEA can serve as a substitute teacher. I will send out the link to the course in a separate message. ***Remember that our reopening matrix is posted on our website. ***The IHSAA, just this afternoon, released some preliminary information on football. The first two weeks of competition appear to be optional. Schools can schedule games if they wish. The rest of the season will be as normal. All teams will participate in postseason play. More information is coming next week. We haven't heard anything about other fall sports. Face coverings continue to be a controversial topic for many people. We continue to follow the recommendation of local public health, which is to allow face coverings, but not to require them. We will continue to follow the recommendations and guidelines put forth by public health.***As always, email me or call me if you have any questions. mike.peterson@wapellocsd.org or 319-523-3641. #wearewapello #wapellotribepride
