Good evening,
The Milbank School Board adopted a new Covid-19 Quarantine Policy tonight, 9.29.20. The document can be viewed on our website and on our school facebook page. The link on our website is on the Covid-19 Links & Info page. Again, we are strongly encouraging the use of masks within our school.
Good afternoon, this is superintendent Justin Downes. I am calling to inform you that there has been confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the High School, two cases in the Elementary and a staff member as well. We have reviewed the situations and contacted all close contacts to the positive COVID-19 case for quarantine. If you have not been contacted, your child is not considered to have been in close contact as directed by the Department of Health. Please continue to monitor your children prior to sending them to school. Also, we are very grateful to all parents and guardians who have been diligent about contacting the school when they have concerns that their children are sick. If you get tested, please contact us as soon as you receive results so that we can limit close contact exposures. Thank you,

Please make sure that you have all necessary materials at home with you to be able to zoom into your classes while you are distance learning while the other half of the high school is attending class in person. We will be taking attendance for all students that are expected to zoom back into their classrooms. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause families but, we are doing what we can to slow the spread of the coronavirus in our district. High School activities will continue during this time. The volleyball game for this evening in Castlewood has been postponed at this time. There will be more details concerning volleyball in the coming days.
