Hello MGSD K - 5th grade families,
Last week the MGSD Board of Education voted to transition to a Plan A for all Kindergarten through fifth grade students as allowed by the Governor’s latest orders.
Plan A Details
Operate under a staggered entry for the weeks of 10/19 and 10/26, where your student will attend in person for either 2 days (K-3) or 1 day (4-5)
Beginning November 2nd, your student will be attending school 5 days a week following a typical daily schedule. This includes possibly changing classes, small group activities, enhancement classes, etc.
Daily symptom screening upon arrival
Masks are required at all times, however there will be periodic mask breaks
Social distancing will not be possible for the majority of the day
Recess will occur daily
Lunch will be served either in classroom or cafeteria based upon scheduling and available space
If you want your child to attend MGSD under Plan A, no further action is required unless you need transportation (see links below). Please note that this is your final opportunity to enroll in the MOA for the 2020 - 2021 school year. If you need transportation, please fill out this form by Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 5:00 pm:
