Forest Lake Area Schools has planned for three possible scenarios of student learning which may be used during the 2020-2021 school year. These scenarios include full in-person learning, full distance learning, or a hybrid of distance and in-person learning. On July 30, Governor Walz announced a framework that allows local school districts to determine how they will begin the 2020-2021 school year, based on COVID-19 case data by county. The Forest Lake Area School Board approved a plan, based on current data, to start school with elementary, preschool and early childhood students attending school fully in-person, and secondary (grades 7-12) students attending school in a hybrid scenario, alternating every other day between in-person learning and at-home learning. On October 26, the district announced that elementary students would also move into a hybrid learning scenario, beginning November 10.
On November 12, the district announced that High School and Community School students (grades 9-12) will move to distance learning effective immediately, through at least January 22.
On November 19, the district announced a transition to distance learning for all students, beginning in December.
