Wolf Point Schools Close, Move To Plan B
The Wolf Point School District announced Sept. 1 that all schools will be closed beginning Sept. 2 through Sept. 14. A letter from superintendent Loverty Erickson confirmed a positive test result among the student body.
“A student at our campus was confirmed positive for COVID-19,” wrote Erickson. “The student’s family has been informed and the student is no longer attending school. Roosevelt County Health Department (RCHD) and Indian Health Services (IHS) are tracking this case to determine how and where the student contracted the virus and tracing their recent contacts. If health officials determine that your student was a close contact of the infected student, you will receive more information from RCHD and IHS. Please be aware that all Wolf Point School District schools and facilities are regularly sanitized to reduce the spread of the virus within our community.”
Erickson laid out protocols moving forward:
“The Junior High/High School will resume:
-Extracurricular activities on Monday Sept. 7
-Academic instruction on Tuesday Sept. 8, 2020 in Plan B. They will contact the parent/guardians to describe the groupings by close of business Sept. 3, 2020.
The Northside and Southside will open their schools for Plan B prior to Sept. 14, Date TBD, they will contact the parent/guardian by close of business Sept. 3, 2020.
-If you have already opted out your student, you will be contacted by the school this week for when your school is starting instruction in Student Opt-Out Option. UPDATE: If your student opts out, we strongly recommend they not participate in extracurricular events. However, if you as a parent/guardian would like the district to consider an exception to this rule, please email Loverty Erickson at lerickson@wolfpoint.k12.mt.us.
The school district will serve grades 1-12 lunch (breakfast the next day) in to-go meals drive-up only from the Multi-Purpose Room at the high school the following days, 9/2, 9/3, 9/8,9/9 & 9/10.
