Arcadia This Week 4/5/2021
Hello, Arcadia families,
I hope you all enjoyed the break and are ready to be back! This is, in part, a “choose your own adventure” email. Information relevant to everyone is found here, but at the end, there are a number of links to information for specific groups of people. Please check those links for information relevant to your child, especially if you will be in the building on Monday!
Monday, 4/5: Day 2--In-person school begins (most classes remain online, but staff are in the building--6th grade, see link below)
Forms to Fill Out
Please fill out these forms for your child if you haven’t already done so:
Participation in Spring Testing
Model Update and Upcoming Schedule
Rice County COVID case rate numbers are at 33.60/10,000 in a two week period. Please be vigilant around masking, distancing, and taking other precautions to control the spread of COVID. We are still planning to be open for in-person school on Monday, and we want to be able to stay open.
We are going to use local data (numbers inside the school) to determine whether or not we stay open. We have had ZERO cases of COVID inside the building, and we would love to keep it that way! Stay safe, Arcadians!
April 5: In-person model begins (most classes remain online)
April 9 and 16; May 7 and 14: Asynchronous Days (online school only, no in-building)
April 27: Midterm
May 28: Last day of Fourth Quarter
June 1: First day of “May” Term
June 10: Last Day of School and Graduation! (Graduation will be held in the backyard at Arcadia the evening of June 10 for graduates and their families.)

MCA and ACCESS Testing
We will be doing MCA testing at the end of April/early May, and ACCESS testing in early April. If you are doing distance learning and prefer not to participate in these tests, please indicate that here: Participation in Spring Testing
Attendance Form
Please report attendance-related information (appointments, illness) through our website, even during distance learning! Go to “Current Families” and then “ Report an Absence.” You can fill out as much as is relevant. If your child is ill, please make sure to report symptoms, as we are required to track a lot of information on illness this year! If you’d rather just save a link to the form somewhere accessible to you, here is a link to the form.
