MASON CITY – Mason City schools will move to full-time in-person learning, the school district announced.
Beginning the week of Monday, February 15, 2021, Mason City Community School District will offer two options for learning: (1) Full-time in-person learning; and (2) Continuous/online learning. This move to these two learning options meets the requirements of the approved Iowa Senate File 160 signed by Governor Reynolds on Friday, January 29, 2021.
Full-time in-person learning will follow the 2020-2021 Board approved calendar. Wednesday will continue to be an early dismissal day. The schedule for Wednesday early dismissal will follow the half-day dismissal schedule for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school calendar year. Following the half-day dismissal schedule meets the requirements set forth in Senate File 160 and provides staff dedicated time for planning/work with continuous/online learning and professional development. The early dismissal schedule, by building, for Wednesday is listed below.
Buildings will send a communication to all families by Friday, February 5 regarding specifics related to your student’s schedule and procedures for requesting continuous/online learning. Only parents/guardians opting to select the option of continuous/online learning will need to contact their student’s building to schedule this learning option.
