“In July and early August there were many more unknowns regarding COVID-19 and the reality of being able to safely and successfully keep our schools open.  With the guidance of Terra Uhing of Three Rivers Public Health and the hard work of all of our employees we have been able to make it to a well deserved winter break,” shared Mark Shepard, Superintendent of Schools.  “I want to personally thank our Board of Education and staff for their commitment to our students, our families and the community. Instead of dwelling on the challenges of 2020, this time of year provides the opportunity to reflect on everything we’ve been able collectively to accomplish as we look forward with great anticipation to the new year – we have much to be thankful for.”

The Three Rivers Public Health Risk Dial for Dodge County increased from 3.0 to 3.25 – to high orange. As a reminder, the Dial utilizes eight data points on a rolling three week average.  

We wanted to take this opportunity to address a rumor circulating through the School District and Community that has been brought to our attention.  This communication should help add clarity to the situation.

“Is FPS planning to close or go to remote instruction after Thanksgiving or after Winter Break?”  

At this time the answer is “No”.

It is the intention of the District to continue with our current operations while working to support students and staff.  

  • The rationale for this is that data continues to show and Three Rivers Public Health Department continues to advise that keeping schools open, while following our strict safety protocols is best for our students and staff. 
  • Providing for the wellbeing of our students – particularly those who are underserved – is very important.  Access to food, in-person instruction, providing emotional support and connections with adults who care, play a significant role in providing our students with as much normalcy as is reasonably possible in 2020.
  • FPS will continue to study multiple data points as options are being considered.  These data points include student absences based on COVID, staff absences based on COVID, school contact tracing data, Community Risk Dial, etc. 
    • Our two primary reference points will be:
      • Contract Tracing Data – is there clear evidence that exposures are occurring in school buildings / programs?  
      • Classroom coverage – are we able to keep our classrooms staffed using Classroom Teachers, Substitute Teachers, Full-Time Substitutes and Local Substitutes?

Two weeks ago Fremont Public Schools announced a change to the Blueprint based on the level of risk associated with the Three Rivers Public Health Department Risk Dial. Previously, Fremont Public Schools had plans to transition from in class learning to a hybrid or fully remote model in the Orange and Red levels. In accordance with guidance from Three Rivers and Elkhorn Logan Valley Health Departments, we have announced that we will plan to keep students in class for as long as possible.

En este momento la respuesta es “No”.

Es la intención del Distrito continuar con nuestras operaciones actuales mientras trabaja para apoyar a los estudiantes y al personal.

Estos puntos de datos incluyen ausencias de estudiantes basadas en COVID, ausencias del personal basadas en COVID, datos de rastreo de contactos escolares, marcado de riesgo comunitario, etc. 
    • Nuestros dos puntos de referencia principales serán:
      • Datos de rastreo de contratos: ¿hay evidencia clara de que las exposiciones están ocurriendo en edificios escolares? / programas?  
      • Cobertura del salón de clases: ¿podemos mantener nuestros salones de clase atendidos con maestros del salón de clases, maestros suplentes, suplentes de tiempo completo y suplentes locales?

Hace dos semanas, las Escuelas Públicas de Fremont anunciaron un cambio en el Plan basado en el nivel de riesgo asociado con el Riesgo Dial del Departamento de Salud Pública de Three Rivers. Anteriormente, las Escuelas Públicas de Fremont tenían planes de hacer la transición del aprendizaje en clase a un modelo híbrido o completamente remoto en los niveles Naranja y Rojo. De acuerdo con la orientación de los Departamentos de Salud de Three Rivers y Elkhorn Logan Valley, hemos anunciado que planearemos mantener a los estudiantes en clase el mayor tiempo posible.

Anyone with a desire to seek a local substitute certificate is encouraged to contact the Human Resources office at 402-727-3016 or by email at kate.baker@fspmail.org.  “We’ve had to get creative with filling classrooms due to teachers being absent – we are committed to continuing to support our teachers – recognizing the awesome job they are doing,” Shepard concluded.

Until this point, Fremont Public Schools has had plans to transition from in class learning to a hybrid or fully remote model in the Orange and Red levels. In accordance with guidance from Three Rivers and Elkhorn Logan Valley Health Departments, we have announced that we will plan to keep students in class as much and for as long as possible. “We have learned a lot in the past three months and because of the terrific work our schools are doing, we have found that keeping students in school is the safest place for them to be.  School staff and students are wearing masks, social distancing and sanitizing on a frequent basis.  Because of all of these efforts we have found very little transmission of COVID-19 among students and staff members within our schools.” said Terra Uhing, Executive Director of Three Rivers Public Health Department.

También continuamos reclutando maestros sustitutos locales ”, dijo Mark Shepard, Superintendente de Escuelas. Las personas con al menos 60 horas de educación universitaria pueden ser elegibles para un certificado de enseñanza sustituto local.

El Distrito también dio a conocer las cifras actuales de inscripción de los estudiantes que participan en el entorno de aprendizaje virtual.

El Distrito se ha asociado con la Universidad de Midland para proporcionar a los maestros certificados de FPS, futuros maestros de la Universidad de Midland y otros estudiantes de Midland el conocimiento de una variedad de áreas de contenido. Los estudiantes pueden recibir tutoría uno a uno en una sala de reuniones en una videoconferencia de Zoom. FPS ofrece una sesión matutina (8:00 am – 11:00 am) y una sesión nocturna (6:00 pm – 9:00 pm) todos los lunes y jueves. La tutoría de la escuela secundaria está disponible actualmente solo por las tardes.

 

El Dial de Riesgo de Salud Pública de Three Rivers para el condado de Dodge aumentó de 2.0 a 2.5 – a mediados de naranja. Como recordatorio, el Dial utiliza ocho puntos de datos en un promedio móvil de tres semanas. “Si bien el Risk Dial está aumentando por segunda semana consecutiva, nuestro número de casos positivos dentro del Distrito se ha mantenido constante. El número de personas en cuarentena ha aumentado debido a exposiciones fuera del aula. Por favor, manténgase alerta en seguir nuestro protocolo, tener buenos hábitos de higiene y seguir las 3 C ”, declaró Mark Shepard, Superintendente de las Escuelas Públicas de Fremont.

 

No habrá clases el 5 y 6 de noviembre. Estos dos días serán designados para la preparación de lecciones por parte del maestro en el sistema de gestión del aprendizaje en línea y desarrollo profesional.
