Crook County School District #1 Families,

March 27, 2020 Update: 

This afternoon we were informed the School Closure will be extended until April 17^th.   If the closure remains as is, we will resume classes on April 20^th. 

Up until April 6^th, our staff has been working hard to prepare learning materials for students during the closure and preparing for remote teaching. They are using a variety of platforms to accomplish this and they are learning as they go. We certainly appreciate your patience and participation during these times. The materials that have been shared and will be shared until April 6^th are supplemental materials meant to support the learning that has taken place and provide opportunity for students to get caught up on any missed assignments. After April 6^th, the learning will include new material and will be graded. Classes will continue after April 6^th as if we were in session. Grades will be taken for all courses. Teachers are busy putting together plans for contacting students and parents for the days ahead. They are establishing office hours for communication with students and adults.  In these times, communication is our best tool. Please continue to stay in contact with your children’s teachers and buildings. 

As far as the future goes, at this time no decisions have been made on whether spring sports will return, graduation continues to be a topic of conversation with perhaps some creative means to allow families to celebrate. Prom is anyone’s guess.  If we come back in May, Prom could still take place.  For juniors wishing to take the ACT, we are still waiting for directives on how this will take place.  At this time, no ACT tests are scheduled, but we will keep you informed as we learn more. 

In closing, I would like once again to express my gratitude for the patience and support you have provided to our staff.  If there is anything, and I mean anything, that we can do to help you during these times, please do not hesitate to contact the school.   It does not need to be academic in nature, we have resources available and outside agencies which have also volunteered their resources.  So, you need something, please let us know and we will do what we can to assist you.   Please continue to protect your families and keep them safe.
