Dear Staff, Families, and Patrons:

We have had questions about the specifics of wearing facial coverings in the Kellogg School District. We wanted to make sure your questions are answered. Therefore, you'll find attached the document which defines it better for everyone. I hope you'll find it helpful as it coordinates with the new Panhandle Health District's 4 Levels of Covid-19 Risk. As of today, our community is in the ORANGE stage and if school were to open today, we would be in our Back to School Plan of yellow. As Panhandle Health District evaluates the changes in our community, we will respond accordingly. We will publish on our social media pages and web pages where we are so that you will know.

This document helps define the Panhandle Health District's Levels of Covid-19 Risk and the wearing of facial coverings for the Kellogg School District. These guidelines have been written in coordination with medical professionals, administration, staff and patrons along with Idaho's Back to School Plan and Panhandle Health District's advice which coincides with the CDC Guidelines. Please follow the links below.

Thank you for your continued interest and support. I appreciate your patience and courtesy to our staff--they too care about your children and our success with going back to school.

Sincerely,

Nancy J. Larsen
