Boys hockey…heading to State!!!
Face coverings are now recommended on buses, but they are no longer mandated. We recommend face coverings throughout the district and we still have a face covering mandate in our Head Start program as federal funding requires.

This week is Minnesota Paraprofessional Recognition Week! 🎉
Join us in celebrating the work that our paraprofessionals do and the impact they have on the education of our students.
Thank you for all that you do for Hermantown Community Schools!
Hermantown Community Schools continues to exceed the threshold of 5% or more of students and staff absent with COVID, therefore face coverings will continue to be required for all students and staff during the school day, regardless of vaccination status, until our numbers drop below that threshold.
Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe!

COVID NOTICE/REQUIRED MASKING
Site: Hermantown School District
School-Wide Masking Date: January 11, 2022
Dear Parent/Guardian, Staff,
Prior to Christmas break Hermantown had only one positive Covid case reported districtwide. Unfortunately, we have seen a significant increase in the last week.
Hermantown students in grades 7-12 have reached the threshold of 5% or more of students and staff absent with COVID. Per the District’s masking guidelines, face coverings are now required for all students and staff during the school day, regardless of vaccination status, during the masking period.
· Your student will need to wear a face covering in school for a minimum of 10 days, starting January 11, 2022, through January 20, 2022.
· If grades 7-12 continue to reach the 5% threshold after January 20th, the 10 days of masking will continue from the last 5% reading.
· Students ages 2 to grade 6 will continue to wear face coverings.
The Minnesota Department of Health recommends that individuals monitor for symptoms associated with COVID-19. If your student/you develop symptoms associated with COVID-19 or test positive, please contact the school.
Following the CDC guidelines Hermantown has adopted 5 day quarantine for staff. On Wednesday, January 12th the Minnesota Department of Health is coming out with guidance on how the 5 day quarantine applies to students. We plan to follow that guidance and will get details out as soon as we receive that information.
Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe!
