Byron Area Schools issued the following announcement on Jan. 14.
Thank you for your continued efforts to help keep our students, staff, and community safe from COVID19. Unfortunately, this week we have had many COVID-19 positive cases amongst our middle and high school students that have resulted in significant numbers of quarantined individuals. In order to stem the further spread of illness amongst our students, the Middle and High School will transition to distance learning from Tuesday, January 18 through Friday, January 21, 2022.
• All Middle School and High School students will receive synchronous on-line instruction from their teachers during the next four (4) school days.
• All Middle and High School athletics and after school events will be evaluated individually.
• Monday, January 17, 2022 is a district-wide professional development day. Students are not scheduled for classes.
• The Middle School and High Schools buildings will reopen for students to resume inperson learning on Monday, January 24, 2022.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to continue educating students while also taking steps to provide a safe learning and work environment for students and staff.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jan Amsterburg
Interim Superintendent
Byron Area Schools
