Families of Mahnomen Public School
As you may have heard, MDE announced Minnesota’s Safe Learning Plan for the 2020-21 School Year. In this plan, individual school districts in consultation with Public Health agencies will have flexibility as to how they plan to start the school year. We will use data on county COVID-19 testing rates over the most recent 14-days to make that determination in mid-August if schools will reopen for the In-Person, Hybrid or Distance Learning model.
Flexibility will be critical moving forward. If our area sees a change in COVID-19 cases, we may have to switch between instructional models in a short notice.
Families can choose the distance learning model through Mahnomen Public Schools for their students for all,or part, of the 2020-2021 school year. You will be receiving a registration in the near future to indicate your intentions of choice between in-person and distance learning.
Over the next few weeks, Mahnomen Schools will continue to work on plan details for each instructional model. We will also provide details to the required safety measures being put in place such as: daily health screenings, social distancing measures, reducing student groups as much as possible, facility sanitation and personal hygiene protocols, face coverings for all and limiting outside visitors to school.
This pandemic is a fluid situation and the school will continue to monitor and adjust to the changes. We continue to ask for your patience and cooperation as we work through changes in our school community. Please monitor our School App, website and Facebook page for more announcements and details.
Parents and Community Members,
Mahnomen Schools is following the Governor’s Executive Order on mask wearing. All employees, students and visitors will be required to wear a mask while in school buildings and outside when conditions for adequate social distancing can’t be meet. Thank you.

Families of Mahnomen Public School
This message is to provide a brief summer update on planning for the start of School Year 20-21. As you may have heard, MDE has asked schools to develop plans for return to school during the COVID pandemic. Those plans are to have options for 3-situations: In-Person, Hybrid Learning & Distance Learning.
Which method we will start out the year under has not been determined yet. Because of the changes in the pandemic we may be required to transition between each of the different options at anytime during the year.
Rest assured that Mahnomen School District staff have been gathering information and resources and is in the process of developing plans for each of these options. Safety for students and staff is a priority of our planning as well as a commitment to providing the best education possible.
This pandemic is a fluid situation and we will continue to monitor and adjust to the changes. There will be new expectations and procedures put in place regardless of the option being used. We ask for your patience and cooperation as we work through changes in our school community. Thank you.
