2nd Semester Remote Learning Information

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This school year has been very successful and rewarding, and at the same time it has also presented challenges. As a result of some of the challenges that the district is currently facing, we have decided to move Ross High School to ahybrid learning environment for the remainder of first semester (starting 11/13/20 and ending 1/15/21). This model is only for Ross High School at this time.

There are multiple reasons for making this transition. Our confirmed COVID case numbers at the high school in particular are growing at an alarming rate. While we haven’t experienced a tremendous amount of student-to-student or staff-to-student spread, our case numbers have increased dramatically in the last two weeks. An additional factor in this decision is that as of yesterday, approximately 15% of our total in-person population at Ross High School was in ordered quarantine or isolation as dictated by the guidelines we’ve been given by the Butler County General Health District. The hybrid model allows us to increase social distance in classrooms and on buses. This will reduce the number of students coming into close contact with individuals who test positive.
