URGENT: Mitkof Middle School will move to remote learning for the remainder of this week, Thursday, 11/18 and Friday, 11/19. Petersburg continues to experience high community spread, and multiple positive cases/close contacts are connected with students. Contact tracing efforts are not happening easily, and we are being impacted by connections inside and outside the schools. High School students will continue in person, but this may change based on staffing needs and Covid connections to staff and students.
Breakfast and lunch will still be provided for elementary and middle school students. Meals may be picked up between 11 am-1 pm at the back entrance to the Stedman Cafeteria. No sign-up is necessary.
Reminder that Monday, Nov, 22 and Tuesday, Nov. 23 are vacation days for all students, K-12. Also, parent/teacher conferences will be held virtually K-12.
