Falls High School Parents,
Thank you to those that have filled out the learning plan survey as we have 336 responses. We are short about 150 and that will be a lot of time and effort to physically call those families before we can commit to an implementation date. Please complete the survey or call the FHS office and give your response verbally. Survey closes today. Thank you again for your help.

Falls High School Families,
Falls High School is working on developing a plan to bring more students into the building for in-person learning. The tentative plan would be to allow students to attend Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Distance learning will continue to be an option for the rest of the year for families choosing this option. Students will need to select either in person 4 days a week or full time distance learning. Wednesday would continue to be a distance learning day for all students and allow staff time to manage the distance learners while continuing to plan for teaching in-person and remote learners. Local Covid-19 rates allow the district to take this next step and permit us to relax the spacing restrictions. We are committed to continuing the safety protocol put in place which includes students being required to wear face coverings and space students as much as possible. It is important that you realize as we take this next step, more students will be in each class and we will not be able to accommodate 6 foot spacing. One reason for this survey is to get a commitment so we can plan to accommodate classes that are larger and more difficult to space in. We may move some classes to larger rooms or look at options of splitting a class. We are looking at options for lunch to keep numbers as low as possible during this period. No final decisions will be made until we find out who will be here and who will elect/continue full time distance learning. We need information from you so that we can finalize our plan and set a date to make this transition happen. Please take a couple minutes to respond to the survey for each of your children in grades 6 – 12. We appreciate your help and will communicate final plans in the near future. Survey will close at the end of the day on 3-3-2021. Thank you in advance for your participation!

COVID-19 Testing for Kids and Families
MDH announced a recommendation for all school-age youth returning to school, youth sports, or extracurricular activities, and their families, to get tested every two weeks through the end of the school year. While it is not a requirement, regular testing complements other safety measures already in place, such as masking and social distancing.
Schools and youth organizations can send messages and resources available on COVID-19 Testing for Kids and Families to families to encourage testing. Getting tested every two weeks from now until the end of the school year can help keep schools open and sports operating, and ensure we are limiting the spread of COVID-19.


Specific information about ordering at home test kits at no cost to you can be found at the site below.
