Greetings,

On behalf of the Area Learning Center, I hope everyone has been having a relaxing winter break while being safe. As you are aware, decisions regarding learning models is every changing. We have been spending the last couple of days determining what is best for our students, based upon more clear guidance, in accordance with the Governor’s recent Executive Order, MN Valley Area Learning Center will return to our “in-person” hybrid instructional model effective Monday, January 4th.

We are exciting to welcome students back into our building on Monday, January 4th. We realize that there are still a few details to figure out regarding transportation from our neighboring school districts (this information will be communicated to those students who are affected). Students are reminded to bring their chromebooks with them on the 4th along with other school supplies you may have.

We strongly encourage everyone to continue to do their part to stop the spread of the virus and other illnesses by wearing a face mask, social distancing, washing our hands and being mindful of where we are and what we are doing. Also, please notify the school if the student has tested positive for COVID and/or been exposed to the virus. Feel free to email Mrs. Brandt([email protected]) or Steph Nelson([email protected])

We understand that these are challenging times for everyone and we appreciate your understanding and support.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
