Hello fellow Spartans!
On Wednesday, November 24th, from 12pm-2pm the Spartan Food Pantry at Keewatin Elementary will be hosting a Drive-by Food Bag Giveaway. If your family is experiencing hard times and could benefit from a little extra food in your pantry, please drive by Door #1 on the backside of Keewatin Elementary on Wednesday, November 24th from 12pm-2pm. There will be a staff member or volunteer ready to hand you a bag of food right at your vehicle as you pull up to door #1. It’s super easy!
Inside the food bag there will be a sign up sheet to utilize our Spartan Food Pantry throughout the school year. If you are interested in using the food pantry, we encourage you to fill out the form and return it to school with your child for future pantry use. :)
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lautigar
Keewatin Elementary Counselor

Dear ISD 319 Parents and Guardians,
We have a new COVID-19 Mitigation Decision Model in place. When the school district reaches 3% of the students and staff having lab confirmed cases of COVID-19, the entire district will mask for two weeks.
At this time, we have reached 3% of our population who have lab confirmed cases of COVID-19. Masking will be required before, during, and after school for all students, staff, and visitors to the district. This requirement will be in place from November 10th to November 24th. November 25th the requirement will return to a recommendation for students. The district requirement will supersede any classroom or building masking requirements.
Per federal guidelines, masks are still required to ride the school bus.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
After careful consideration and a continuous review of data, we will not be moving into a 14-day reset at this time. In an effort to keep our students in the building, the mask mandate will remain in place for all students, staff, and visitors until November 5th. As a reminder, if your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. We thank you for your patience as we continue to monitor our situation closely.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Dear Spartan Families:
The Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) is one of the longest-running youth surveys in the nation. It is a triennial survey that began in 1989. The survey is an anonymous statewide school-based survey conducted to gain insights into the world of students and their experiences. The next MSS will be administered between January and June 2022 to students in grades five, eight, nine and eleven. Learn more about the survey here: https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/health/mss/mde059027.
More information will follow regarding administration dates and opt out options. You can read more about student privacy rights here: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/node/491
