Good afternoon Kimball School Families
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a school update. Many of you know the Governor issued a new executive order that included schools with the primary focus on elementary schools. At this time the building COVID planning teams are going through the information to see what, if any, changes may occur as a result. The one thing we know for certain is that the requirements will not force us to change our current plans. However, what the requirements may do is allow us to find some flexibility in the timelines for returning groups of students. More information will be shared Tuesday, December 22nd once the teams have met and information is shared with the Incident Command Team. Please stay tuned.
At the school board meeting on Wednesday night (December 16th) the 2020-2021 school calendar was amended to allow for more student contact days. An updated copy will be placed on the school webpage.
Student activities (this includes Community Education) will resume activities and practices on Monday, January 4th. At this time we are not sure when competitions will begin. We will let you know as soon as the information is available.
Preschool will return to classes on Monday, January 4th. ECFE will be starting on January 13th and 14th with in-person Parent Education classes.
December 22nd will be the last day Cubs Club will be open for 2020. Cubs Club will reopen on Monday, January 4th.
In closing I want to thank you for your continued support of the students and staff of Kimball Area Public Schools. I hope you and your families have a fantastic weekend. Please be safe and stay well.
Respectfully
Erik Widvey

Attention! Want to see a positive story on the news tonight? Tune in to CBS Evening News with Nora O'Donnell tonight to catch a teaser on our very own hometown celebrities, Pat Mertens and Erin Durga. Last July, Erin donated a kidney to Pat and they have since become media sensations...appearing recently in the Star Tribune and Washington Post. Barring any breaking news, the full story will air tomorrow night.
Hello Kimball School Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out today with an update on where we are currently in our learning models and where we are planning on heading in the days to come. We are currently operating in the Distance Learning model (K-12) and will continue to do so until Friday, January 8th, 2021.
Starting Monday, January 11th, we have received permission from our Regional Support Team to plan to bring back students in grades K-5 in a Hybrid model. More information on what that model looks like will be communicated with K-5 families by Mr. Timmerman. Grades 6-12 will continue to stay in Distance Learning until Friday, January 22nd.
Starting Monday, January 25th, the Regional Support Team has given us permission to plan to bring back grades K-6 to In-Person learning 4 days a week. In addition, we received permission to plan for students in grades 7-12 to return to Hybrid learning on January 25th as well. More information for families in regards to these models will be communicated by Mr. Timmerman and Mrs. Bonnifield.
It is important to note that beyond receiving permission to move towards less restrictive models the plans are entirely dependent on case numbers within our schools and the impact these numbers have on staff and students. We will continue to monitor as we move forward and update you weekly. Thank you for your continued support of the students and staff of Kimball Area Public Schools. Please stay well and take care.
Respectfully
Erik Widvey
