March 3, 2020 Dear Parents: We have been notified by the Buffalo County Public Health Department that there is a confirmed case of pertussis (whooping cough) in a student in the Mondovi School District (High School). The Buffalo County Public Health Department has already contacted those people who may have been exposed and they have discussed further evaluation and treatment if needed. There is no correlation between pertussis and the Coronavirus. Pertussis is an illness that spreads easily by the coughing of an infected person. It begins with mild, cold-like symptoms, including cough and runny nose. These first symptoms typically appear 7-20 days after a person is exposed. The cough typically worsens over the following weeks and becomes spasmodic. The cough may be followed by a “whooping” sound. The spasms of cough may be followed by vomiting. Some persons with pertussis may have very mild symptoms (mild cough with no other symptoms) and may not realize that they are sick or contagious. Pertussis can affect anyone; however, it can be most detrimental in infants. In very young babies (less than 6 months old), pertussis can lead to bacterial pneumonia, weight loss, and dehydration. More than half of the babies with confirmed pertussis are hospitalized. Pertussis is treated with an antibiotic. Students who are prescribed antibiotics for pertussis can return to school following the fifth day of treatment. Without antibiotics, a person with pertussis is considered to be contagious for three weeks. It is important that ill students stay at home away from others (especially infants and young children). Pertussis vaccine is administered in combination with diphtheria and tetanus vaccine (DTaP) in a five-dose series and protects children against whooping cough. There is also a booster vaccine (Tdap) for adolescents and adults. Please check with your health care provider to make sure your child’s shots are up-to-date. Please watch your child for any symptoms of pertussis (mild, cold-like symptoms) over the next several weeks. If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, please contact your health provider as soon as possible. For further information regarding pertussis, refer to this website: https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/index.html Sincerely, Greg Corning

We are looking for people who can help for the day or half-day, but even those parents who can spare a couple of hours will be greatly appreciated and will include a free meal. If you are not able to help on the day of, the music department would also greatly appreciate donations. Things such as food preparation would be a big help.

We would like to thank our community for their interest and passion surrounding our State Report grade this year - it shows how much you care about the academic success of our students! As laid out in the Thursday, November 21, Mondovi Herald “Notes From School” section, Report Card ratings are based on four priority areas: 1) Student achievement in English language arts and mathematics, 2) Student growth in English language arts and mathematics, 3) Closing gaps between student populations in English language arts, mathematics, and graduation rates, and 4) Measures of readiness for graduation and postsecondary success in the areas of graduation rates, attendance rates, 3rd grade English language arts achievement, and 8th grade mathematics achievement. Additionally, schools and districts can have point deductions for failing to meet targets for student engagement indicators of test participation (ACT, ACT Aspire, Forward Exam, Badger Exam, Dynamic Learning Maps), absenteeism, and dropout rates. Although our district report card score has been in the “Meeting Expectations” or “Exceeding Expectations” range since 2015, we are aware that we have some work to do, and are already having conversations and putting supports in place to improve these scores. Some of the work that is already happening pertains to revisiting and revising curriculum, looking at Scope and Sequence, Professional Learning Community (PLC) weekly meetings, schedule changes, course offerings, etc. We have been addressing this trend since last year, and will continue to do so. While the Report Card score is important to us, we are also looking at the national research around our “Redefining Ready” criteria - College Ready, Career Ready, and Life Ready - to address the whole student and ensure success in their post-high school endeavors. Please refer to the November 21 Mondovi Herald “Notes From School” for all the specific details of the research-based metrics. If you would like to have further discussion to more deeply understand all the data behind either the school or district report cards, feel free to reach out to any of our Administrative Team members to schedule an appointment.
