Crane High School closed until after Thanksgiving
November 19, 2020
Families of Crane High School students were informed Tuesday that the school would be closed for in-person classes from Wednesday November 18 until December 1.
“Due to the number of teachers having to be quarantined and/or sick at the high school, grades 7-12 will be going virtual, beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18 and will return after Thanksgiving break, Dec. 1,” was said in a statement on their Facebook page. “Students are responsible for doing their work online during this time.” The statement goes on to say, “Not doing their work will affect their grades! If you do not have internet, your student can come to the HS parking lot and download their work to complete at home. Then come back to the parking lot to upload completed work.”
Crane Elementary School students must attend school as usual. The statement said, “Elementary will still be in person school like normal. Continuation of athletics will be discussed at Wednesday’s board meeting, and athletes will be notified by their coach whether they will continue during virtual or not.”
A previous statement, released on November 12, provided updated guidelines for attending school in a quarantined environment. The statement reads: “The Departments of Health and Senior Services and Elementary and Secondary Education have modified guidance for determining quarantines in school settings. If a student comes in contact with a positive COVID case at school, both the positive case AND the student have masks on, then the student in contact will not have to be quarantined. Whether you believe in masks or not, we are trying to keep kids in school! So please talk to your child and remind them that to ride the bus they must have masks on. If they are working in small groups or cannot social distance, they need to have their masks on.” The Statement finishes with “Thank you for all your support as we navigate all the unknowns and helping keep our kids in school!”
