Governor Reynolds announced today that schools are to remain closed for the rest of this school year. She also stated that "Continuous Learning" for students is to continue. In Camanche we will continue to engage and educate our students by using on-line learning. I also want you to know that we are committed to getting the information you need to support your child’s learning to you as soon as we possibly can. I encourage you to contact your child’s principal with questions or concerns that you may have. Finally, I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone who is doing their part in helping us address the challenges this pandemic has created. Your efforts and support are truly appreciated. I hope that all of you are able to stay healthy and well. Thank you.

On-line learning will formally begin for Camanche students this Monday (4/13/2020) through the Continuous Learning Plan that was approved by the Iowa Department of Education. This on-line learning delivery system combines a voluntary plan for grades K-8 with a required plan for grades 9-12. The reason we will require educational services for our high school students revolves around wanting to provide additional educational activities for our high schoolers that can be graded and have credit assigned to it. This is important as our high school students work to earn credits to meet graduation requirements. The voluntary on-line education option for grades K-8 will focus on the core subjects of English and Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Along with creating educational programming, educators in our district are arranging office hours to make sure that they are available to support students and their families. This will be a new learning experience and educational environment for most, if not all of us. I believe that it is essential that students, parents, and educators all work to keep lines of communication open with one another as we move through this unique and challenging time. By working together, I am confident that we can see the Camanche School District’s Continuous Learning Plan engage our students with learning opportunities that will further their academic growth. Thank you for your understanding as we work through the challenges caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. If you would like more information, please look under the “COVID-19 Info” button on our website.

This afternoon the Governor of the State of Iowa has ordered schools in Iowa to remain closed through April 30th. Camanche Schools, of course, will follow that order. I also want to make you aware of the Camanche School District’s intention to follow the Iowa Department of Education’s “Continuous Learning” directive. We are currently working on the specifics of our plan. Please look for more information coming from your child’s school, or on the district’s website under the COVID-19 Information button. I do sincerely appreciate everyone’s understanding as we work through this Pandemic and hope that all of you remain healthy and well.

Updates regarding COVID-19 Pandemic: 1) Camanche Schools will be closed in accordance with the governor’s recommendation that schools close for four weeks. At this time, we plan to resume classes no earlier than Monday, April 13th. 2) Due to the deep cleaning occurring in our school buildings, we are limiting access to our buildings and request that you contact the building principal before entering a school. We also ask that you pick up any items you need no later than Thursday, March 19th by noon. 3) The State Athletic and Activity Associations have canceled all practices and events at this time. Information regarding dates when these activities will be allowed to resume will be announced by these groups in the future. We do know that there are more unanswered questions than actual answers available at this time. This has been caused by the rapidly changing events surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic. We will continue to provide more information to you as it becomes available.
