NEN Announces Plans for Return to School

On Wednesday, NEN released tentative plans to have a traditional start to school on August 25th. Registration will be held on August 11th from 1 pm to 6 pm. At this time, the plan includes in-person classes five days a week. The school will be in contact with the Nodaway County Health Department. The plan includes the following:

–Students kept in their group, with as little close interaction with other classes as possible;
–Assigned seating in classrooms and on buses;
–Social distancing as much as possible;
–Turn off the water spout on water fountains; only use to fill up bottles;
–Develop alternative plans in the event of a school closure;
–Create an alternative to the self-serve salad bar;
–Use the old gym, in addition to the cafeteria, during lunch periods to maintain social distancing;
–Limit visitors to the building.

Students will not be required to wear masks for the school day. School will start at the same time from Monday through Friday from 8:06 to 3:10. After-school care will be available.
