This is a message from the Lac du Flambeau School District November 3, 2020 Dear Families of LdF Seventh Grade Students, We are presently experiencing a high number of students and staff verified as close contacts of individuals testing positive for Covid-19.

In-person learning for seventh grade students will resume November 17, 2020. What does this mean for your seventh grade student? Your student has been notified of the expectation that they will participate with the virtual schedule as they have practiced. Their teachers, if healthy, will be online teaching similarly to how they would in school. If your child is unable to participate because of illness or any other reason, please notify the attendance line as you would if they were in-person. We have completed contact tracing and those parents whose children were verified as close contacts have already been notified. These close contacts are expected to quarantine for 14 days. Those who have NOT been deemed close contacts, are not required to quarantine, but will still be learning remotely through the 16th. Please read the full letter & review the 7th grade virtual teaching schedule below. Miigwech! https://docs.google.com/document/d/15DXptti9ZaXwd_IY6-Co70z4xQHgibcxPvDzMDBOqZ0/edit?usp=sharing
