Forest Lake Area Schools is planning 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. We are creating detailed plans for this scenario, along with the plans for of moving into full distance learning or full in-person learning if needed, depending on COVID-19 case data.School Board Presentation from July 30

Secondary students will attend school in either a maroon group or a gold group and will alternate every other day between attending school in person and learning at home. A color-coded 2020-2021 school year calendar shows the days each group will attend.
