Dear Parent or Guardian,
We have been informed that a member of our school district has tested positive for COVID-19. This individual is no longer on campus, and we are in the process of cleaning and sanitizing our facilities. Please know that we are taking necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.
The individual who tested positive, is associated with Inman Elementary. The district is working with Montgomery County Public Health to complete the contact tracing process. Anyone who has been in close contact with this individual will be notified by Montgomery County Public Health. “Close contact” is defined as being within six feet for more than fifteen minutes. If you are not notified within 24 hours, it is likely that your child was not in close contact with the individual who tested positive and is not at higher risk than other students and staff. If you are notified, your child is at higher risk you will be asked to quarantine your child for 14 days from their last day of exposure. These dates will be determined by Montgomery County Public Health.
We are awaiting preliminary contact tracing results to determine next steps. We will provide you with more information regarding potential impacts on instructional delivery as soon as possible.
The safety of our students, staff and community is our highest priority. We urge you to closely monitor your health as well as that of your children. If you develop symptoms of COVID-19 please contact your physician immediately. You may contact Montgomery County Public Health, at (712) 623-4893, if you have additional questions about contact tracing, quarantine requirements, or COVID-19.
We will continue to monitor this situation and provide additional information as needed.
Sincerely,
Ron Lorenz
Red Oak Community School District Families,
Beginning Monday, September 14, 2020, Red Oak Community School District (CSD) will provide free breakfast and lunch to all preschool through 12th grade students. This change is a result of a COVID-19 waiver extension from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that allows schools to serve meals to all students at no cost under the Summer Food Service Program Guidelines.
This service will continue through December 31, OR until USDA funding runs out. If funding runs out before December 31, the Iowa Department of Education will notify school nutrition directors and the Red Oak CSD will notify families. When this waiver expires, the Red Oak CSD will transition back to our current meal service practice, in accordance with USDA guidelines. At that time, students will resume their current regular, reduced, or free meal rate status.
The District will not provide any refunds from student accounts, as we do not know how long this waiver will remain in place and students will still be charged for all extra meals, entrees and a la carte items at normal prices.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the central office at (712) 623-6600.
Ron Lorenz
Superintendent

COVID-19 Return-to-Learn Plan Summary
Red Oak Community School District
July 27, 2020
The Red Oak Community School District will offer a continuum of instructional delivery models to provide flexibility in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instructional models will be implemented according to regular risk assessments conducted by the Montgomery County Public Health Department. More restrictive delivery models will be utilized as risk levels increase.
On-site, face-to-face instruction will be provided when risk levels are low. Hybrid models featuring a combination of face-to-face and virtual instruction will be employed during moderate and high-risk situations. Continuous remote learning will be provided in severe risk scenarios. Students and families will have the option to participate in remote learning according to their unique needs regardless of risk determinations.
Risk determinations will be based on the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county, potential exposure at the local level, and other relevant factors as determined by the Montgomery County Health Department. The Red Oak CSD will continue to follow the directives and guidance of the county health department throughout the pandemic.
All instruction will be provided by highly qualified teachers, licensed and endorsed by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners, who are assigned to instruct courses in a manner which meets the requirements set forth in Iowa Code 256.41. Course content will be aligned with the applicable grade and subject area Iowa academic standards. All courses will meet the credit and content requirements established in Iowa Code 256.7(26)(a).
