Hinckley-Finlayson Schools
All schools closed Wednesday September 23
Due to several positive COVID tests in our school community, and a steady increase in our county case numbers, Hinckley-Finlayson Schools will go to distance learning from September 24th through October 2nd. This will be for all schools.
Here are some items to note-
1. No school again on Wednesday 9/23. Distance learning begins on Thursday 9/24.
2. Lunches will not be delivered Wednesday 9/23. Lunches will resume on Thursday 9/24. We encourage you to pick up lunches if possible.
A. Lunch pick up is at the HFHS office (the new office) between 10 and 11 AM.
B. Lunch delivery will leave HFHS at approximately 11 AM. This will look
similar to the spring. We will drop off by bus routes, times will be similar to the spring distance learning.
C. Elementary parents can check in with their child's teacher about lunches.
D. High School students have already completed their own information on
lunches and other distance items. If parents or students have follow up
questions you can call the high school office at 320-384-6132 or e-mail
Mandy Hartl at mhartl@isd2165.org
E. Lunches are still free for all students.
3. We are still contact tracing. We are reaching out to anyone who had close contact with a person who tested positive. We hope to have these completed today.
4. Your teacher (especially at the elementary level) will be reaching out to you soon to discuss school work and logistics. High school teachers will begin reaching out to students Wednesday 9/23.
5. All extra-curricular activities are postponed through October 2nd. Coaches/advisors will be communicating with their students soon.
6. There will be daycare for tier 1 essential employees provided free of charge. If it is an emergency situation, and you are not a tier 1 worker, you can request daycare and we will provide daycare if space allows.
A. Kristi Johnson will act as daycare coordinator. You can reach out to Kristi at 320-384-6443 or kjohnson@isd2165.org
7. Picture day is rescheduled to October 23rd across the district.

C. We will allow families to come to pick up these items at designated times.
D. If you cannot pick up items on Wednesday or Thursday we will begin delivering items. Talk to your child's teacher.
9. We recognize this is very short notice- the decision is being made with the overall health of our students, staff, and community in mind. We recognize that distance learning, or just the rapid change, can negatively impact our students. Please reach out to our counseling staff if needed-
A. Sandra Korf at HFHS 320-384-6132 or skorf@isd2165.org
