Northwest Public Schools Return To School Plan 2020-2021
This blueprint outlines a comprehensive framework for Northwest Public Schools' response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the educational program during the 2020-2021 school year. The plan utilizes a tiered model (Tiers I-IV) to guide district responsiveness to evolving public health circumstances. It addresses critical operational areas including calendar/scheduling scenarios, health risk assessment, screening protocols, school exclusion guidelines, general school operations, academic delivery (including remote learning), food service modifications, cleaning and facility adjustments, transportation procedures, extracurricular activity guidelines, and wellness supports for students and staff. The overarching purpose is to provide a clear, comprehensive, and transparent plan for the school year.
