Our "Return to Learn" Plan was developed as a starting point toward starting school on August 26 with both face to face learning and virtual (online) learning. As we gather more information, this document will be updated to reflect those changes.

The Jackson County Health Department (JCHD) has been working with GLCS and the Jackson County Superintendent Association (JCSA) to establish an approach to addressing COVID-Like-Illness (CLI) and COVID-19 positive cases in students and staff as schools reopen to in-person teaching.

Now that we have evaluated the results of our previous surveys, and our "Warrior Way - Return to Learn" plan has been shared and approved by our Board of Education that includes our three options for instruction modes (Face to Face, Virtual (Online), and Homeschool), it is time to make your final choice(s) for the mode of instruction that you choose for your child(ren) to begin the 2020-2021 school year (barring a move to Phase 3 in the Governor's "Roadmap", which would move everyone to virtual instruction.)

This survey is mandatory for every Grass Lake Community Schools student to indicate their choice for instructional mode. The deadline for the survey to be completed is Friday, August 7, 2020, at 6:00 PM.
