Launch the media gallery 1 player
In the districts efforts to keep students and staff safe and provide our students with the best possible education the following student modified quarantine protocols where approved by the Jewell County Health Department. If a student is identified as a SCHOOL CLOSE CONTACT they would be able to stay in school but need to wear a mask properly and social distance. The Student Modified Quarantine Protocols are currently in effect. Contact your building principal if you have questions about the student modified quarantine protocols at school. Returning to normal school safely is what we all want. Developing and implementing modified quarantine protocols is just another step in moving towards safe return to normal school.
