Harvard Public School
Safe Return to Learn Plan 2021-22
Harvard Public School intends to be prepared to meet the health and safety needs of its students and staff during the 2021-22
school year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This framework is structured to allow the district to be responsive to the
current health climate and to articulate expectations for students, staff, and parents, amid changing school and community
health conditions. The tiered structure of this framework coincides with the “Risk Dial for COVID-19” from the South
Heartland District Health Department. This framework may be adjusted, as needed, to meet the needs of students, staff, and
parents of Harvard Public School. A committee of the Board of Education will give guidance to the Superintendent in
regards to any change of protocol due to changes in the Risk Dial and will determine the appropriate local level of Risk.
Risk Dial Zones

Description & Rationale for Use of Risk Dial Zones:
South Heartland District Health Department provides a Covid-19 “Risk Dial” for the geographic area it serves, which informs the public about the
activity level of COVID-19 virus in its service area and the area medical services’ ability to respond to current demands. This “risk dial” will serve
as a barometer for the school’s operational response to the virus. The school will use the “risk dial” in conjunction with the school’s monitoring of
the virus activity within the school to determine which “risk dial operational zone” the school will operate in. The current “risk dial operational
zone” will be clearly communicated to students, staff, and parents through the school’s website and through the school’s messaging system, along
with specific guidance based on the school’s current operational zone. By fostering collaboration between the South Heartland District Health
Department, the school’s nurse, and the school’s administration to closely monitor current health conditions relevant to the COVID-19 virus, theTraducción disponible.
administration will be able to assess the safest and most non-restrictive educational environment for students, staff, and parents at Harvard Public
School.
