It’s a return to “almost” 100 percent in-person learning tomorrow (Monday) for students in the Fairfield School District.
Students in all grades will be in classrooms Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with Wednesday being a virtual learning day for all students. In making the change, Superintendent Dr. Laurie Noll notes that the district’s matrix shows they have been in the ‘green’ for several consecutive days and continue to see a drop in COVID-19 cases in the district and county. Therefore, she says will begin face-to-face learning starting Monday, February 1st for all students in all grades.
The Fairfield School District includes parts of Jefferson, Henry, Van Buren, Washington and Wapello counties. As of January, Jefferson’s COVID-19 positivity rate was 7 percent, Henry 10, Van Buren 8, Washington 10, and Wapello 13 percent.

When classes resume on Monday, the Fairfield School District will return with a hybrid learning schedule.
Superintendent Dr. Laurie Noll says the district is returning to school with the hybrid model they used December 14 through December 18 with students across all grades split into two groups with Trojan students in class all day Monday and Tuesday and Power students in class all day Thursday and Friday. The groups then alternate being onsite from 8:00 a.m. to noon every other Wednesday. Dr. Noll says the split is an effort to reduce how many students are on campus at one time and they’ve tried to keep students from the same household in the same group as much as possible.
