Frontier School
Due to a positive case of COVID-19, Frontier School District transitioned to Level C with all students in distance learning beginning Sept. 4.
If you did not pick up your students packets/textbooks/ devices, etc., on Friday, Sept. 4, you can stop by the school before 4 p.m. Teachers will be online in the sixth to eighth grades at 8:05 a.m., 9:05 a.m., 10:10 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 12:55 p.m. and 2 p.m. daily.

Third and fourth grades have a morning live teaching time at 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. (third) and 8:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. (fourth).
All sports and practices are canceled.
Nashua
The Nashua School resumed their distance learning model Sept. 3 and will be continuing until at least Sept. 10. All extra-curricular activities and events have been canceled during this time.
According to the school, the closure was necessary because a health department mandated quarantine was not adhered to. This resulted in staff and students potentially being exposed to the COVID-19 virus inside the school. At press time, Nashua does not have a confirmed positive case in the school. This is precautionary action to ensure the health and safety of students.
The Nashua School administration and school board representatives worked in conjunction with the Valley County Health Department to determine the best course of action. The school will resume extra- curricular activities on 9/11 and school will resume in person on Sept. 14.
