Hello everyone,

Wow, we are starting our second semester of the school year.  There are many things to keep in mind as we move forward into the New Year and second semester. It seems like when we come back from our break we have more illness, throughout our students, and especially it seems in the elementary grades.  Keep in mind this is usually the time of year that the Flu is a common occurrence, and COVID is still a concern, especially with the new variant.  Although the variant may have milder effects it is still highly contagious.  Because of all this I am going to once again remind you to please monitor your students for illness, if they are ill, please keep them home.  If they have a fever (a temperature of 100 or higher); they cannot return to school until they are fever free for 48 hours without Tylenol or fever reducers. If the temperature is higher than normal but it is below 100, monitor them and see if it increases, if it stays below 100 they may return to school after 24 hours of fever free without Tylenol or fever reducer. 

As we continue through the winter sports season, activities will be primarily indoors so we will have more opportunities for exposure to various illness due to being in a confined space. We need to do all we can to lessen the amount of transmission. Remember our home games are still streamed on our YOUTUBE channel and that most of the schools we may travel to offer streaming as well.  If you feel that it would be better for you to stay home due to illness or weather, we invite you to do so.  Please encourage hand washing, and distancing when possible and continue to monitor for illness and symptoms. 

If your student needs to miss several days of school due to illness or other reasons, please make sure we communicate, we have some options for students to participate through online resources if needed.  Please connect with teachers and the office if we need to access those resources.

This is also the time of year when winter weather may cause us to have either a late start or cancel school or activities.  Make sure you are signed up to receive message through Remind – either through the app or through text messages for closings and other announcements

Plan for use of CRSSA Act ESSER III Funds

Through the Nebraska Department of Education, we have available through the CRSSA Act ESSER III funds in the amount of $83,175. 00. Arthur County Schools plans to use CRSSA Act ESSER III funds to assist with the acquisition and implementation of the following items. Which will assist our staff in helping students raise achievement and improve health and air quality within the district.  With these funds we plan to:

• Purchase and implement IXL to assist in Learning Loss
• Purchase additional reading Kits from Really great Reading to improve foundational reading skills for elementary students
• Purchase High Quality ELA curriculum to Improve reading instruction
• Purchase Portable Heppa Filtration systems to help with Air Quality throughout the district and assist with the reduction of possible airborne particles to spread COVID-19 and other illnesses
• Purchase Additional Bottle filling station drinking fountains to help reduce transmission of COVID – 19 and other illnesses.

Arthur County Schools plans to use a minimum of 20% of the allocation to address student learning loss in the areas of English-Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Agriculture Education, Physical Education, Music, and Art.  Currently, Arthur County Schools will use the IXL online learning curriculum to supplement curriculum and provide support for students who may have experienced learning loss during COVID-19 interruptions, and support learning for all students. Really great Reading curriculum supports students’ foundational reading skills, with opportunities to work on phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and reading comprehension, as students become more fluent readers it will help to address learning loss through individual, small group, and whole group instruction.  

The Arthur County School District is working with the staff at ESU 16 to find and adopt high-instructional quality materials for elementary ELA/Reading that will challenge students to reach grade level abilities and support student learning that addresses loss in learning, but also provides differentiated instruction based on student needs.

In an effort to promote a healthier environment and healthy habits Arthur County Schools will seek to purchase and implement portable Heppa filtration systems in all classrooms and where feasible large areas where people gather. The district will also seek to install bottle fill stations at all water fountain locations to encourage students to drink more water in a healthy manner that assists in maintaining a healthy body and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 Virus and other illness that may prevent them from attending school.

This plan will be reviewed and updated every six months.  The required deadline to spend and request reimbursement for these funds is fall of the 2023 school year. Comments or suggestions regarding this plan may be directed to the Superintendent, at (308) 764-2253 or email: acssuperintendent@arthurcountywolves.org
