Dear Little Chute Families,
We are excited to welcome our students back to school, whether we see them in-person or virtually. Together, we are working to ensure a safe and productive environment for all. Little Chute Area School District opened for learning officially on Tuesday, September 1. If your LCASD student tests positive for COVID-19 please contact our LCASD tracking number: 920-415-4835. You will be directed to our school nurse that will take down further information.
We’ve updated our COVID-19 Resource page to reflect the most current information on this health care crisis. Also included on this page is a link to our Return to Learning Plan. We are excited that school is back in session and we can reconnect with all our students.
We are committed to the safety and health of our students, staff, and community. As we continue to navigate through this health care crisis, for this school year, how we deliver instruction to our students will be shaped by national and state guidelines as well as local decisions. That guidance is ever-evolving which means all of us associated with the Little Chute Area School District must be flexible, agile, and able to pivot as circumstances change. We hope that having all updates labeled by topic in one place will help our school/community stay informed throughout this pandemic.
See current information located here regarding plans for instructional learning platforms along with COVID-19 information links. Please note that details are subject to change based on guidelines from local, state, and federal authorities.
