School Operations Update End of Year

 Lewis County Metrics

Case rates fell again this week, but still remain above the state rate of 108. 

Toledo School District Operations

We have had only one reported positive case this past week. Unfortunately, there were several close contacts that were required to quarantine as a result. 

Commencement ceremonies, 8th grade and Kindergarten promotions, Culture Faire and other annual events have been able to take place. THS returned from remote instruction and all positive cases and close contacts completed their quarantine period.

School will finish regular operations on Friday 6/18 (a remote instruction day).

Summer To Remember

It is our goal that all Toledo students will have at least one interaction with school this summer. We are planning some summer field trips for grades 1-8 as well as athletic camps and other activities at THS. Many students will participate in some academic support work at the end of July and first part of August. Breakfast and lunch will be served for all children under 18 during these four weeks. Watch for specific information about Summer to Remember and get your children signed up for some fun.

Fall, 2021

As of this writing, the Department of Health, Labor and Industries and OSPI are all indicating that while we will be back in our school buildings next year, it would appear that we will be continuing to use masks, distancing and hand hygiene while also encouraging everyone who can to get vaccinated. We are also expecting to continue to be required to do daily health screenings (attestations and temp checks) at all schools. If this guidance changes, we will let you know.

Final Blog Post

This will be my last blog post on school operations for the 2020-21 school year. When changes to school operations are required by future regulations or guidance, they will be reported first on our website and Facebook page and later via SchoolMessenger and/or autodialer. If school operations continue to be compromised in the Fall of 2021, I may resume this blog.

On behalf of all of us at Toledo School District, thank you for your support of our staff and their efforts to keep your children safe and healthy while also providing them with opportunities and meaningful experiences. We look forward to seeing your children this summer and again in the Fall.
