Parents & Guardians: 5/18/2020
First off, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding through the Covid-19 Pandemic. It truly has turned things upside down and there are still more questions than answers. I also want to thank the Teaching Staff here at South Winneshiek. This has not been easy for them, but they are a very dedicated group of professionals and willing to go the extra mile for our kids. We are not sure what school will look like in August, but we are preparing and excited to go.

If you have health issues, or do not feel comfortable entering the building, please call the school or contact me at jhalverson@swinn.k12.ia.us & we will make other arrangements.
-
We will need you to get in and get out fairly quickly. Inevitably people will want to chat, but we really need you to keep that to a minimum as we are trying to be as safe as possible and follow the governor’s guidelines.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding. Looking forward to the 2020-21 school year. Stay safe and have a GREAT summer-
Mr. Halverson
