Dear Seward Elementary families and staff,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for your effort in the past four weeks to keep as many people attending school in person. Our school will no longer require universal masking beginning February 11th<\/sup>, 2022; however, we strongly encourage face coverings indoors at school. Factors that impacted this decision may include reduction of positive COVID-19 cases in schools, less identified close contacts who need to quarantine, a lower student absenteeism rate; available staffing and substitute teachers, local hospital and ICU capacity, community transmission rates, and ability to physically distance in our school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To see daily\u00a0Seward Elementary\u00a0data and operation status, the\u00a0https:\/\/covid19.kpbsd.org\/dashboard<\/a>\u00a0includes daily school specifics. The COVID-19 Hub\u00a0covid19.kpbsd.org<\/a>\u00a0has resources and the KPBSD mitigation plan. If something changes and deserves direct communication from me,\u00a0you will\u00a0definitely hear at that time.\u00a0You can help protect your family and community: if you or someone you know has any symptoms of illness, stay home, and get a free COVID-19 test.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal, Seward Elementary<\/p>\n\n\n\n 907-224-3356<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two things to update families of our Seward Elementary students:\u00a0 1) Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, February 11th is an early release day with students getting out of school […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,12],"tags":[58,67,66],"class_list":["post-4904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-school-bulletin","tag-covid19","tag-early-release","tag-masks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4904"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4908,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4904\/revisions\/4908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/seward-elementary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
