  • Information about After-School Programs

    Dear MSD families, We want to share an important update on funding for the after-school programs and clubs in our school district. (Note: this does not apply to the child care program provided by Camp Fire.) Unfortunately, MSD did not receive a renewal for the competitive grant that has funded our after-school programs over the past five years. While this news is disappointing, please know that we understand these safe and engaging activities play a vital role in your child's personal and academic development. Our dedicated team is actively working to identify alternative sources of funding to support after-school programming.  We will keep you updated on our progress and any developments. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this challenge. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your  child’s school . Sincerely, Superintendent Brockett

  • Two-hour delayed start on Jan. 20-21

    Dear MSD families, Schools across the state and nation have been struggling to keep schools open due to staffing shortages. McMinnville School District faces the same struggles, but we are fortunate to have outstanding staff who have gone well above and beyond, giving up daily preparation and planning time to fill in for one another and ensure our students could continue with in-person learning.   While we are thankful our schools have been successful in remaining open, our middle and high schools faced a nearly 25% student absence rate over the past two weeks. As we near the end of the first semester, we want to allow teachers time to address the needs of the students who have missed school.   On Thursday, January 20 and Friday, January 21, 2022, we will have a two-hour delayed start time for our middle and high schools.  Each school will share their bell schedule for the two days. If your child rides the bus, the pick-up times will be two hours later than usual. Click  here for route information. Please know it is vital that ALL healthy students attend school on these two days. The staff is working to ensure every student is provided with required materials and support to end this semester on a positive note, and their attendance is the first step to success. We thank each of you for your support and understanding through these challenging times. Sincerely, Superintendent Brockett

  • changes to isolation/quarantine periods

    Dear MSD families, Today I met with Yamhill County Public Health and discussed the new CDC/OHA guidelines for shortening isolation and quarantine periods to five days. These updated guidelines are based on what science is showing about transmission of the virus, particularly the omicron variant. After meeting with them, the district believes we can safely implement the five-day isolation and quarantine periods and have listed the new guidelines below: If you test positive for COVID-19 (Isolate), regardless of your vaccination status: Stay home for five (5) days, avoiding contact with others to the fullest extent possible. If you have no symptoms after five (5) days, you can return to school. There was an update in vaccination status descriptions. The protocol now requires that you are “up to date” on vaccinations, meaning you have been boosted OR completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine within the last six (6) months OR completed the primary series of J&J vaccine within the last 2 months. If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19 (Quarantine) and are up to date on vaccinations (vaccinated/boosted): You can continue to attend school, as long as you stay asymptomatic. If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19 (Quarantine) outside of the school setting and are unvaccinated or not up to date on vaccinations (vaccinated/boosted): Stay home for five (5) days. After that continue to wear a mask around others for five (5) additional days. After day five (5), you can return to school if you are asymptomatic If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19 (Quarantine) inside of the school setting and are unvaccinated or not up to date on vaccinations (vaccinated/boosted), you are eligible for the Test to Stay program You can take a rapid test at school and if the test is negative you can remain in school. If you test positive, you will need to isolate for five (5) days. You will also need to test on day five (5).  If you tested positive or had an exposure this week and were told you had to isolate/quarantine for 10-days you will be receiving a message from the district with your new date to return to school.   Thank you for your patience and understanding of the changes being made. Our intention is to always keep our students and staff safe, while also ensuring our children have the fullest access possible to in-person learning.   Sincerely, Superintendent Brockett
