Educating and Protecting Our Students and Community
|
Dear Little Chute Families,
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these last several months. Please remember the Little Chute Area School District will always be committed to meeting the academic, emotional, and social needs of all our students while continuing to keep the safety of our employees, and our families as a priority during these unprecedented times.
As we move to reopen our school and district offices to the public, we believe that opening our offices with strict social distancing guidelines is the best approach to keeping all stakeholders of the District safe.
Starting Monday, July 6, our offices will reopen to serve our school/community. Collectively, we have come a long way since the initial closing of our schools on March 17. However, all of us still need to practice safe behaviors as it relates to social distance guidelines articulated by the Center for Disease Control, the State Health Department, and the Outagamie Health Department. With that understanding, beginning July 6, we are asking that anyone who visits one of our offices continues to practice expected social distancing routines.
