Hinckley-Finlayson Schools
Dear H-F Community-
A quick update on our re-opening plans for 2020- 21. We have our committee that includes a wide range of staff, board members, and administrators. We have recommended the school board consider an earlier opening. No earlier than August 24th. We are still sorting through the pros and cons of an early opening or just continuing with our current calendar. We will not have an answer until at least July 13th when our school board meets again. If you have not given your feedback on this topic yet, feel free to e-mail me. I am sharing all feedback with our committee and school board.
As of today- 67% of our families wish to open schools five days a week. There is a smaller core of students that wish to have distance learning. We do hope to be as open as possible but we will have a distance option that students can use if they (or their families) feel it is in their best interest.
We will send out an informal registration survey to see who is interested in the distance option. This is so we can get accurate numbers to dedicate staff. Our committee meets again July 7th and our board will hear our first recommendations on July 13th. We will not know more from the state until at least July 27th.
Thanks for all the feedback. We have a strong committee representing our community and they are working on our behalf.

Parents- Please take a few minutes to complete both of these surveys.
One survey is from the Minnesota Department of Education so they can get parent feedback as they look at school opening in September on a statewide basis.
The School Opening in September Survey is just for Hinckley-Finlayson families. Our committee needs feedback on how we are going to open our schools and adjust to local needs.
