USD #343 Moving to "Green" on August 31st
Launch the media gallery 1 playerData has been reviewed for the phase determination for the next two weeks of school at USD #343. (August 31st - September 11th). The current information will allow USD #343 schools to transition to the "Green" phase next Monday, August 31st. This phase will allow all PreK-12 students to attend classes daily. All safety precautions are still in effect. Masks must be worn by all students and staff, social distancing will be enforced, temperature checks at the building entrance, and frequent hand-washing is required. We are hopeful future data will allow our schools to remain in the "Green" phase. Please do your part and practice all of the previously mentioned safety precautions at home. We need our children in school and participating in activities!
