We are EXCITED to see our JES students this year. Jayhawk students and staff will be wearing masks in the building. JES has scheduled 4 times daily to social distance outside for a mask break. Thank you for having your children practice wearing a mask before the first day. Kids are welcome to wear their own face cover (mask, buff, gator, etc.) We have disposable masks if your child needs one. We have cloth masks ordered for all students as well.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) for USD #346: 1. What data does the district look at to determine on-site, remote, or hybrid models of instruction? Answer: Number of confirmed cases of students (not public because of HIPAA-Health privacy rule), number of students exposed (not public because of HIPAA), county total of new cases and total cases (KDHE website). In general, if our district experiences a steady 14 day decline in COVID numbers or better has no new cases during that time, we will “pivot” to on-site learning and bring all students back. WE WANT ALL KIDS IN SCHOOL - having all students back would be easier on everyone, just not safer at this time. We are planning for the worst and hoping for the best! 2. Will families be grouped together in the A/B hybrid model? Answer: YES, when enrollment is over we will provide you with student groups in PowerSchool. 3. Will the buses run for transportation? Answer: YES, when enrollment is over we will contact you with student bus route information. 4. Will SPED children share the A/B hybrid model? Answer: Yes, after enrollment our staff will be contacting you to share the individual education plan for your child. 5. Will the school have activities and can remote students participate? Answer: YES, the school will follow KSHSAA rules and recommendations. Practices will begin August 17th and remote students may participate if they are full time students per KSHSAA rules. 6. Why aren’t all Linn County Schools doing the same thing? Answer: The Kansas State Board of Education voted 5-5 to override an executive order from the Governor that all schools in the state start September 9th. Now, the state probably has 286 different plans for its 286 school districts. Based on the information we shared in Question 1, schools are determining what’s best for their individual district based on their data. If you have other questions please email me at rpowelson@usd346.org. Thank you for your patience. Changes are happening everyday from our state agencies. We will do our best to keep you updated.

USD #346 family. Due to the current Linn County COVID-19 numbers, the first day of school for USD 346 students will start school in a Hybrid model on August 20th, 2020. Hybrid model means your child will receive on-site instruction two days a week and remote learning 3 days a week at home. In the hybrid model we begin school with students organized into two groups “Group A” and “Group B”. Group A students will be on campus Monday and Tuesday while Wednesday will be a deep cleaning day of the facilities; Thursday and Friday will be Group B on-site instructional time. On this schedule, ONLY Group B will begin school on August 20 and 21. Group A will begin attendance on Monday, August 24. Building administrators will communicate with students/families regarding students in Group A and B. All students and staff will be required to wear a mask at least until September 15th. If you want your child to have all remote learning (5 days a week at home), we will be able to accommodate that as well. Building administrators will be in contact with families who requested all remote learning after enrollment is completed. When Linn County COVID-19 numbers decline, we will bring all hybrid students back into a traditional on-site 5 day a week learning model. Currently, our Building Leadership teams have met and begun the redesign of teaching methods for your child under the hybrid model. Reminder that Online enrollment is available July 29th through August 7th on PowerSchool through our USD346 website. We will send online enrollment instructions to the email address you provided in your Return to School survey and we recommend online enrollment.
