At the August 23rd Floodwood School Board meeting the following policy was approved: "Face coverings are recommended indoors, but not required. Respect is a requirement! "
Most other "best practice" mitigation practices that Floodwood Schools followed last school year will remain in place. The School Board will discuss situational face covering use in the school during the September 13th work session. We will be using local data to address health safety measures that may become necessary during the school year.
OPEN HOUSE 4-6 pm Thursday September 2, 2021. The community is encouraged to attend (whether they have students or not). There will be free food and free admission to the Girl's Volleyball Games.
We are excited to show off the school and the amazing adults who work with the Floodwood School District students!
