Pateros Elementary School opens for in-person learning

Safety measures apply

Posted

PATEROS – Under Department of Health’s Decision Tree for In-Person Learning, the Pateros Elementary School opened for in-person learning Last Monday, Sept. 28.

In a letter published Sept. 18, Pateros School Superintendent Greg Goodnight advised parents that a decrease in COVID-19 cases allowed the school to open for transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. The first week will feature half-day sessions from Sept. 28 - Oct. 2. Goodnight’s letter is also posted on the Pateros School District Facebook site.

Staff, students, and visitors will be required to observe several safety measures in compliance with the Health Department’s guidelines. Those measures will include wearing multi-layer cloth masks, screening with a no-touch thermometer, six-foot social distancing in classrooms, and other safeguards.

Parents have the option to use the new online program in lieu of in-person attendance.

Accelerate Education is our provider for grades transitional kindergarten through fifth grade,” wrote Goodnight. “Edgenuity is the provider for sixth grade.”

Parents wishing to enroll their students in these programs can contact Ms. Mortimer at 509-923-2751.
