Millard Public Schools are updating their fall reopening plans, which includes a new Concurrent Remote option.
According to a media release, MPS says in conjunction with health experts, they've created a dial that measures in red, orange, yellow and green based on the severity of COVID-19 in the area. Currently, the dial is at yellow and it will be updated each week. The district reminds parents that school starts on August 10th at full capacity. If conditions change, the school may move to 50% capacity or to remote learning entirely.
Upon review of what parents have voiced concerns over, the district has come up with an option that allows for kids to learn entirely at home even when the school is back at full capacity. According to the release, not all courses will be provided remotely at a secondary level but if a student is interested in the option, an email is being sent this week to parents with more information.
Updated information along with frequently asked questions is available on the Millard Public Schools website. The district did not mention whether or not masks will be required.
