Stevenson High School students will move to full-day, in-person learning five days a week starting April 5.
The District 125 school board Monday night approved switching from the current hybrid model in which students attend school for a half-day every day. Officials said the decision was based on downward trends in local COVID-19 transmission rates.
The school also has been tracking incidence rates on campus through its population testing program. Presumed positivity rates continue to remain low, officials said. For these reasons, we believe that the time is right to provide students and families with the option to return to campus for a full day every day, if they so desire, starting April 5, Superintendent Eric Twadell and Principal Troy Gobble said in a letter to students and parents.
