Superior School District

Dear Superior Parents & Guardians, Tonight at our regularly scheduled board meeting, the SSD3 Trustees voted to shift back to Optional Mask Use in our schools, as COVID numbers continue to trend downward in both Mineral County and the rest of the State. As I stated in the meeting this evening, staff, students, and guests are always supported in wearing masks if they wish. N95, KN95, and paper surgical masks continue to be available in the high school and elementary offices for the asking. The Mineral County Health Department also informed us that there have also been multiple cases of lab-confirmed influenza in our student population. As always, we ask that you keep children who are sick at home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medication. We appreciate all your support in the work we do educating our Superior kids. Scott Kinney Superintendent Superior Public Schools

Friday, 14th 2022 UPDATE Upon recently receiving information today regarding multiple positive COVID-19 cases within our student body and staff at Superior Schools, the District is reinstating our mask protocol for staff, students, and visitors. These changes are being made after consultation with the Mineral County Health Department who is tracking COVID-19 transmission in real-time 24/7 in our county. This means that while on campus during school hours (8:00 am - 4:00 pm) our staff and students will be wearing masks any time that social distancing cannot be maintained and while transitioning between classes. Our protocol has always been that once social distancing has been achieved, students can remove their masks until they are up and moving among others. We will also continue mask use on school buses. While we recognize that some folks question the value of masks, the most recent guidance from the CDC states that the use of masks indoors in congregate settings greatly reduces the spread of COVID as well as other airborne illnesses. While we long for the day when masks use is in the rearview mirror, our goal is to keep school open and our staff and students safe. We will be re-evaluating this in two weeks in hopes that in that time we will see a decrease in positive cases within our schools.
