Parent Updates

Attention Moline-Coal Valley School District Parents, 
As promised, I wanted to provide some follow-up communication regarding the adjustments to our Covid-19 mitigations. As you recall, earlier this week the district transitioned from being "mask required" to "mask recommended" in all of our school buildings. This change was a result of the Illinois General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) declining to extend the emergency rules regarding masks in schools. 

In addition to this adjustment, below you can find information on the other revisions to the District’s safety mitigations related to Covid-19:

• While masks are recommended but not required in school, masks are still required on all buses and public transportation, per the federal requirement.
• For contact tracing a positive case in the classroom, parents in that classroom will receive a general automated message through the school’s preferred automated messaging system, such as Sky Alert, Remind, or Class Dojo.
• For quarantining, only students with a confirmed positive case will be required to quarantine. We will no longer exclude close contacts or siblings of positive cases, as long as they are not sick. Regarding length of quarantine for positive cases, parents can choose for their child to stay home in quarantine for the full 10 days OR (as long as symptoms are improving) may choose to send their student back to school on day 6 and agree to have them wear a mask at school for days 6-10 from the date of the positive test. If wearing a mask at school is not an option for your student, quarantining for the full 10 days will be the only choice.

We will continue to reach out regarding any adjustments that may transpire in the future. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your patience and support as we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of this pandemic. 

Thank you, 
Rachel Savage, Ed. D.

Attention Moline-Coal Valley School District Parents,  Spanish Version

On Tuesday, the Illinois General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) declined to extend the emergency rules regarding masks in schools. After further review of this development, the Moline-Coal Valley School District has made the determination to begin easing some of the Covid-19 mitigations that are currently in place. 

Beginning Tuesday, February 22nd, provided there are no additional unforeseen rulings, all Moline-Coal Valley Schools will transition from being “mask required” to “mask recommended” in all of our school buildings. Because the risk of transmission of the virus still exists and the safety of students and staff remains a high priority, wearing a mask will continue to be recommended, however, it will not be required. Students, staff, and families will be able to make a personal choice based on their own individual needs and circumstances. Whether the choice is to wear a mask or not wear a mask, all choices are to be respected. Please note, however, masks will still be required on buses, per the federal transportation mandate. Finally, please stay tuned for updates regarding other Covid-19 mitigations such as contact-tracing and quarantining. 

The past three years have been full of differing perspectives, emotions, and at times, division. As this situation continues to evolve, please be sensitive to the individual needs of our students, families, and staff during this transition. Like all other challenges we face, we will work through this as a community. I will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available. 

Thank you, 

Rachel Savage, Ed. D.

Attention Parents and Guardians, 
Welcome to the new 2021-2022 school year! I would like to speak for all district staff in saying we are so glad to be back and fully open. Engaging our students in face-to-face teaching and learning is essential, and we are beyond grateful that our schools will be open for full days, five days per week. As we launch back into what we hope will be a “normal” school year, I wanted to provide the following updates and reminders. 

Free Resources 
Thank you to our partners at Metrolink as they are offering free rides to and from school for all students for the entire first semester. Also, the national school lunch program has made all meals free at school for all students for the entire school year. We really encourage all students to join us for breakfast and lunch each day for a warm nutritious meal. 

Health and Safety
In addition to the statewide mask mandate for schools, the district will implement a number of additional health and safety guidelines. While we all seek a “normal” year, we continue to place the health and safety of our students and staff as the highest priority. The health and safety guidelines for the 2021-2022 year can be found on our district website under the Covid-19 tab, at www.molineschools.org. 

Regular School Hours and Early Release Wednesdays
As a reminder, we will be following a normal school schedule with regular full-length school days. Elementary school hours are from 7:55am-2:40pm; Middle School hours are from 8:05am-3:04pm; and High School hours are from 8:10am-3:00pm. 

We will also be reverting back to our early release Wednesday schedules. This is an important time for professional learning for teachers and staff. On Wednesdays, Elementary Schools will release at 1:30 pm; Middle Schools will release at 2:04 pm; and High Schools will release at 2:15 pm. 

Emergency Federal Relief Funding 
Families and community members can find more detailed information regarding the emergency federal relief funding the district has received and will receive, on the district website under the Covid-19 tab. While we have not yet received the largest portion of these funds, plans are in place to dedicate the majority of the funding in two primary areas. 

First, the district has hired approximately 60 new certified teachers to assist district students in the learning recovery process. A teacher is the absolute best resource we have to meet students' individual needs and these additional professionals will ensure our students get the extra attention they require. We are grateful these educators have chosen the Moline-Coal Valley Schools to work and serve. 

The other primary funding priority is air quality and ventilation. This summer was busy with our largest district air-conditioning project, the HVAC (air conditioning) project at Moline High School. It will be complete just in time for the start of school next Tuesday.  MHS is now fully air-conditioned. This fifteen million dollar project was a massive multi-year undertaking that covered approximately 400,000 square feet. The next two summers will then be focused on air-conditioning six additional district schools. This is amazing progress and we are grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime special funding opportunity to expedite the Board of Education’s goal of having our schools temperature controlled. 

Lastly, many other maintenance projects took place over this summer in efforts to continuously improve the facilities in our district. These projects included new ceilings and LED lighting at Lincoln-Irving and Logan; new safety doors and hardware at Jane Addams and Washington; old carpet removed out of Roosevelt classrooms with new vinyl tile installed; new boilers at Willard and Allendale; and in addition to the completion of the air-conditioning of MHS, the high school also received new ceilings and LED lighting. Renovation of the A-Wing of MHS is slated for this winter in preparation for eventually housing the program currently located at Coolidge, beginning next August. These projects exemplify many exciting changes as the district continues to work toward its multi-year plan of achieving equitable learning environments for all students. 

Community Conversations
For the past two years, the district has extended additional opportunities to connect with parents, families, and community members. We have hosted “community conversations” both in-person and virtually. Because we have received such excellent feedback from parents for making this platform available, the plan is to continue and offer (at least quarterly) district community conversations events. Please look out for those announcements as we love to hear from you and engage with you as our partners. 

Remind App 
Finally, please remember to register for the Remind app. This is a quick and easy way that the district can provide small bites of quick important information. We will also continue to use the district Sky Alert system for longer messages. Transparency and effective communication continue to be top priorities for our district. 

On the evening of Monday, August 16th, all schools will be hosting “unpack your backpack” nights or open house-type events to welcome back students and their families. Be sure to check with your child’s school for specific times and other details. With that, I wish you a happy and safe new school year and will continue to communicate with you as often as needed, helping you feel safe and informed. We can’t wait to welcome our students back on the first day of school, Tuesday, August 17th. Thank you, 

Dr. Rachel Savage
Superintendent, Moline-Coal Valley Schools

Dear Parents and Guardians, 
With the new school year right around the corner, I wanted to reconnect with families and welcome them to the 2021-2022 year. While I am guessing most families have seen the news by now, I want to ensure that all are aware that in light of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s recent executive order requiring masking in schools for students, teachers, staff, and visitors at pre-kindergarten-12th grade schools, the Moline-Coal Valley School District will require masks for all district staff and students until such a time the mandate is lifted. At that time, mask guidelines will be reviewed and determined based on the conditions of the pandemic. 

The effective date for the mask requirement for students will be the first day of school on August 17th, unless your student is attending in-person orientation events prior to the first day of school. Masks will be required for those events. Basically, indoor events and activities are "mask required", outdoors is not required. Additional health and safety guidelines will soon follow but I wanted to share the above information with you now, regarding masks. On a positive note (as of now) in classrooms where all are fully masked and distancing as much as the classroom size allows, far fewer will be required to quarantine should a positive case of Covid-19 emerge, as long as students remain symptom free. This is a major improvement from last year toward keeping kids in school.

While the mask requirement is not the news many wanted to hear, I don’t expect any changes to our district’s reopening plan. I urge our families and community to focus on what is most important and that is fully opening our schools, five days per week, for full school length days and then keeping them open. Re-engaging our students full time in the classroom is our most urgent priority and we cannot wait to welcome our students and families back on August 17th. 

As always, we will continue to monitor the situation and update you on any changes or developments. Thank you for your support of our students and staff, and I look forward to a new school year!

Parents, the district is hosting another student Covid-19 vaccination clinic this summer. This is a free and optional choice for families of students 12 years of age and older. Students will be able to get their first dose on August 5th at the John Deere Middle School Cafeteria from 8:00 am-12:00 pm and the second dose on August 26th at the Bartlett Performing Arts Center, from 1 pm to 4 pm. The link to sign up is here. The choice to have students vaccinated remains with the family, however, please consider this option as a way to avoid any required quarantining in the fall due to any possible exposures to the virus. Fully vaccinated students will NOT have to quarantine if identified as a close contact to a positive case, as long as they are not showing symptoms. Thank you. 

Spanish version
Attention Parents and Guardians, we hope the summer is proving to be a safe and relaxing one for all of you. We wanted to take a moment to share a few reminders.

• First, we are having a student vaccination clinic at the John Deere Middle School Cafeteria this summer. The first dose will be on July 15th and the second dose will be on August 5th. Both clinics will run from 8am-12pm and the link to sign up is here. The choice to have students vaccinated remains with the family, however, please consider this option as a way to avoid any required quarantining in the fall due to any possible exposures to the virus. 
• Next, please be reminded that we will go back to a full in-person schedule for all students this fall for full school length days. The District Remote Learning Academy will only be an option for those students deemed medically at-risk by a physician. The deadline to enroll in full-time remote learning at home is August 1st. To have the enrollment be approved, families must complete the application through the student’s Skyward account and submit a medical verification letter signed by a physician to the Moline-Coal Valley District Office (1619 11th Ave). 
• Lastly, all returning families should complete the online registration process for each student for the 2021-2022 school year. The registration portal can be found on the district website under the “Parents” tab. All NEW students to the district and kindergarten students should attend the in-person registration event at Wilson Middle School on July 27th and 28th.

Thank you and have a great summer, 

Dr. Rachel Savage, Superintendent of Schools

Thank you parents and families for all of your hard work this year. It was challenging on so many levels but we got through it together. I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and sacrifice to help your student(s) find success this school year. We value our parents as partners and cannot do it alone. This year really proved that. I wanted to share one last parent update to close out the year and to provide some updates to help you be more informed as you launch into summer:

1. Registration for all 2021-2022 returning students is now available online and can be found under the Parents Tab, on the district website. 
2. It will remain a parent choice to have your student vaccinated. If you choose to vaccinate your student that is age 12 and up, we are hosting another clinic. The first dose will be on July 15th and the second dose will be on August 5th. The clinic will be held in the John Deere Cafeteria from 8-12 pm each of those days. Please keep in mind that a fully vaccinated student will not have to quarantine this fall should they become exposed and not showing symptoms. Here is the sign up form for the clinic should you choose to participate.
3. As a reminder, learning plans for fall are posted on the district website under the Covid-19 tab. We are placing our focus on having all schools open this fall for five days per week and full school length days. On the website, you will find the Fall Learning Plans at a Glance, the flyer for the District Remote Learning Academy, and the Medical Verification letter for those applying for the District Remote Learning Academy. Enrollment for the Remote Learning Academy closes August 1st and only those students deemed medically at risk by a physician or living with someone medically at risk, will qualify.
4. We are anxiously awaiting guidance from the Illinois Dept. of Public Health regarding what health and safety rules will be in place by the end of August and will keep you informed as any new details emerge. 
5. Lastly, we very much looking forward to welcoming all students back to school in the fall. We are planning ahead for the academic recovery process and meeting students’ social-emotional needs. The district has invested in several additional certified teachers at each school to assist with this important work. These teachers, along with our new District Remote Learning Academy teachers are being paid for with the emergency relief funding that we have received from the federal government. More details on that funding can be found on the district website under the Covid-19 tab.

Thank you so very much and have a great summer.

Attention MCV Families,  Spanish version

As we close out the remaining weeks of what has proven to be an incredibly challenging school year, I want to provide some final words of encouragement to students and their families. The last day of school is May 28th and you have all worked so hard to get to the finish line. Thank you for all of your hard work, collaboration, and patience as we wrap up yet another school year during a global pandemic. I hope for a strong and safe finish for all of MCV students and staff. As we near the end of one year, we are already looking ahead to the next one. You may have questions regarding the fall and what learning plans will be available to students. This communication will provide a broad overview for fall so parents can begin to plan. Essentially, we are focusing on in-person learning and the academic recovery process. As of now, we intend to have our schools fully open in the fall, five days per week for full school length days. Full-time remote learning at home for the 2021-2022 year will be available, however, only to those students that qualify. To qualify, parents will need to verify that their student or a member of the student’s immediate household is medically at-risk and therefore needs to learn from home full-time. A verification letter must be signed by a licensed medical or mental health care provider.  Below you will find three documents: 2021-2022 Learning Plans at a Glance; The 2021-2022 District Remote Learning Academy Flyer; and a copy of the Physician Verification Letter. The application to apply for the 2021-2022 District Remote Learning Academy opens on Monday, May 17th in your student’s Skyward account and closes on August 1st. Once the application for the District Remote Learning Academy has been completed in Skyward, it will not be marked approved until the Physician Verification letter has been received in the Student Services Department at the District Office (1619 11th Ave). Additional parent communication will be sent on Monday, May 17th. 

Thank you and have a good evening, 

Rachel Savage

Physician Verification Letter (English only)

Parents, a message was sent yesterday to give as much notice as possible that due to hundreds of staff getting the 2nd dose of the vaccine this weekend, there would be a full remote learning day this coming Monday. We were just informed that the doses did not arrive due to weather delays in shipping, which is out of our control. The right thing to do is to now allow for Group A students to attend school in person on Monday, should you choose. Many may have made other plans already, however, we wanted to at least provide parents with the option. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

Attention Parents,  Spanish version

I hope you are all staying safe and warm. I wanted to send an update to provide some important information regarding our revised learning plans for the remainder of the year.

• Thank you for participating in our parent pre-planning survey. We received over 2000 responses. Over 90% of blended learning parents indicated they prefer more in-person learning for their students. Approximately 70% of parents indicated they felt comfortable with their kids eating lunch at school. Lastly, about 70% of parents indicated they preferred as much in-person learning as possible for 4th quarter, 15% of parents preferred a blended model for 4th quarter, and 15% of parents indicated they would keep their children home in full-time remote learning for the remainder of the year.
  
• We have taken this feedback to heart and designed learning opportunities for the rest of the school year that meet as many student and family needs as possible.
  
• These revised learning plans keep Safety, Equity, and Choice at the forefront of decision making. For SAFETY, we will continue to adhere to all safety mitigations required by the Illinois Dept. of Health, IL Dept. of Education, and the Governor’s office. A focus on EQUITY permits us to specifically design learning plans that reflect the needs of students at different levels rather than a one size fits all approach. Parent CHOICE remains vital and a common theme throughout. Full remote learning will continue to be an option for the rest of the semester.
  
• Below you will find the plan for increasing in-person learning for blended students for the remainder of the semester:
  • March 2 - 19th (3 Weeks) All Elementary blended students in grades K-5 will be able to combine Groups A and B and begin attending for 4 days per week Monday-Thursday with the same dismissal time as now. Fridays will remain a full remote learning day for now. Secondary blended students (grades 6-12) will not have any changes during these 3 weeks and will keep the same schedule as they have now. They will continue with synchronous learning during this time, logging into live lessons at their regularly scheduled class times. 
  • Spring Break March 22-26
  • March 29th- May 28th (9 Weeks) This is the start of 4th quarter. ALL Elementary and Secondary blended students in grades K-12 will combine Groups A and B and attend 5 days per week Monday-Friday. Please respond to the final feedback survey to help the district determine how best to achieve this goal. This final feedback survey will close Friday, February 26th. All final 4th quarter options ensure lunch can be provided safely and time is provided during the day for teachers to address the needs of full remote learners.  
• Choices - For 4th quarter, if options are chosen where elementary in-person students will be offered lunch during the school day, parents with a safety concern at lunchtime, may choose to pick up their child early. Secondary students will have the option of a grab and go lunch or to stay and eat at school in groups of 50 as the rules require. If parents of in-person blended students are no longer comfortable with the combined classes, they may opt out to full remote learning at home. The only thing that is asked is that once 4th quarter begins, it will be expected that students complete the year in the learning plan they selected at the beginning of the quarter. If families have specific questions, concerns, or individualized needs, please reach out to your building principal so a solution can be worked through together.
  
• Lastly, these increases to in-person learning are only a week and a half away. Before that, however, approximately 650 district teachers, staff, and principals are slated to get the second dose of the Moderna vaccine over the next two weekends. The second dose of this vaccine is proving to pose a much higher risk of adverse reactions and with greater frequency. With this in mind, the district is potentially facing a significant staff shortage on Monday, February 22nd and Monday, March 1st. To be the safest possible and to ensure we do not put student safety and supervision at risk, I have to call for two final full remote learning days for all students on Monday, February 22nd and Monday, March 1st. These two Mondays will be the same as our full remote Fridays.
  
• Here is a one-page flyer to highlight all of the changes described above. one-page flyer spanish version
  

We are so very close and have come so far. Your understanding and patience continue to be appreciated during this most challenging time. Ensuring safety as we prepare to increase in-person learning is of the highest priority. 

Thank you, 

Rachel Savage

Attention MCV Families, Spanish version
Due to the poor condition of the roadways, the district will cancel in-person learning for Group A students for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 26th. ALL district students will have a full day of remote learning at home. For elementary students, please check out the learning hubs or for communication from teachers regarding virtual lessons and learning activities for the day. For secondary students, please log on virtually to your classes at the regularly scheduled class times. Thank you and be safe.

Attention MCV Parents and Guardians,  Spanish version

Happy New Year! The previous calendar year has challenged us in so many ways and I am certain many are not sad to see it go. We have learned so much about ourselves, our community, and most importantly, the fighting spirit of our students and families. As we look ahead to re-opening our doors for in-person learning, there is a strong sense of hope and optimism for the future. We know how difficult remote learning has been and we are beyond thrilled to see our students again soon. Here are a few updates and reminders for your information:  

• Return to in-person learning date- Today is our final day of full remote learning for all students. Monday, January 18th is a non-school day on the district calendar in observance of the MLK holiday. Blended in-person learning will resume on Tuesday, January 19th. This is also the start of Quarter 3 and Semester 2. Group A students (last name A-L) will continue to attend Mondays and Tuesdays and Group B (last name M-Z) will continue to attend Wednesdays and Thursdays. Friday, for now, will continue to be a full remote day for all students. With returning to in-person learning, educator vaccines right around the corner, and a steady drop in positive cases in our region and our county, we are right to be looking ahead. Options for expanding in-person learning are currently being developed and will be put forth to all parents and all staff in a survey in the coming few weeks for input. Your voice continues to play a vital role in decision-making and we are excited to be able to expand more in-person learning time for students soon. 
• Opting back in for quarter 3- If your family chose full-time remote learning at the beginning of quarter 1 or quarter 2, you have received an opt back in form to your Skyward account. If you would like to begin sending your student to school for in-person learning, please complete the form as soon as possible. Students are strongly encouraged to attend in-person for their blended learning days. The majority of students that were able to attend school for at least their blended days, saw greater academic support and success. We know the choice to stay home in full remote learning is a family choice and one that we respect, however, if your child is struggling and would benefit from extra help, please complete the form in your Skyward account to opt them back in right away. Also, if your child has been completely disengaged, not logging into the virtual live lessons, not responding to calls or emails from teachers, please reach out to your school principal immediately and strongly consider opting back in for in-person learning. Once the form is completed, students can begin attending on Tuesday, January 19th, or Wednesday the 20th depending on their attendance group, A or B. If you need to request a change in your child’s attendance group for an essential reason such as for transportation or child care needs, please contact your school principal to make that request. Please note this does not pertain to previous in-person students at the time the district transitioned to full-time remote learning on November 16th. No action is needed for those families. The form is only for those families that were full remote before the district transitioned in mid-November.
  Instructional Expectations - Please see the following overview of instructional expectations for Quarter 3. We know learning and connections have increased over the past few months and we do not want to go backwards. In that spirit, here are a few highlighted changes:
• Students will continue to have access and opportunities for live daily interactions with their teachers, this includes academics and critical SEL check-ins. 
• Attendance requirements for students in grades 6-12 will continue. Requiring students to attend daily (whether it be in-person or virtually at home) during their scheduled class period time has provided a more consistent platform for delivering instruction and connecting with students. We do not want to go backwards. In addition, as we prepare for the opportunity to open our doors to more students for more days and time, when deemed safe to do so, these consistent expectations will translate well. For any secondary families not able to meet this requirement due to ongoing hardship associated with the pandemic, principals will have a solution in place. For students in PreK-5, attendance will continue to be taken either by attending in-person, logging on to live google meets, or by work completion and submission at a later date. It is acknowledged that there remains additional barriers at the PreK-5 level in terms of attendance so we will maintain flexibility for this group of students for now.
• Regarding incompletes, there are a few revisions to pass along. As the pandemic has endured for going on 10 months now, it was determined that additional concessions were appropriate for grades of incomplete from last spring’s term. In that spirit, students currently in grades 7-9 with incompletes from last spring, will have their grades permanently recorded as an incomplete, rather than converting to an F, as previously indicated. For students currently in grades 10-12 with incompletes from last spring, the deadline to get those classes to a passing grade has been extended until the end of this school year, May 28th, 2021. These students will be provided a new opportunity within their spring daily course schedule to recover these credits.
• You will also find in the overview document some slight changes to meal distribution and technology assistance. 
• Covid-19 Vaccinations for Educators - Approximately 80% of teachers and staff in our district indicated they will choose to receive the vaccine as soon as it is available to them. An additional 10% indicated they will likely not take it and the other 10% indicated they are undecided. These are very promising numbers. We are working with the county health dept. and hope to start the process for vaccinating our educators in the very near future. This also helps us to be able to work toward increasing in-person learning opportunities for all students as soon as possible. 
  With that, we continue to wish you health and safety and cannot wait to see all of our students soon. Take care! Rachel Savage, Ed. D.

Good evening Parents, here are two updates for your information: 

1. Remind Communication App- We are excited to use the free communication program called Remind with new district-wide texting capabilities, for improved parent communication. You may have already been receiving messages from classroom teachers and coaches but will now be able to receive District messages including weather alerts, calendar updates, and other important District information. All you need to do is to go into your Skyward account in the Family Access portal to be sure you have an updated email address and/or cell phone number included so you can receive these messages. Remind messages cannot be delivered to a land-line. You can also choose to download the Remind app to your smartphone. It is not necessary to have the app to receive messages but the information is more easily viewed through the app and can be better organized, especially if you have more than one student for whom you are receiving messages. Click here for some additional Remind resources. 

1. Farmers to Families Food Supplemental Boxes - For a limited time only, we will be able to distribute the amazing Farmers to Families food supplemental boxes from River Bend Food Bank. These are the same boxes we distributed over the summer. Here are the details:

What : We will distribute on a first-come, first-served basis, 2 large boxes (1 fresh produce box containing a beautiful selection of fresh fruits and vegetables and 1 fresh dairy box that contains milk, cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc) at no cost to families

When: We only have three dates at this time: Friday, September 4th, Friday, September 11th, and Friday, September 18th from 10:30-12:30 pm or while supplies last ( we will only receive 300 of each box so once they are gone, we will not get more until the next Friday). We hope to get more dates in October but have only been given the 3 dates in September for now.

Where: John Deere Middle School only - because of the refrigerated truck we can only have one location to distribute these boxes. We chose Deere because families are used to going Deere for the summer food supplemental box distribution. 

Who: Any Moline-Coal Valley school district family (attending any district school) is eligible for this free supplemental food box. This is from the Food Bank and not the National School Lunch program so no student ID number is needed for these boxes. Because of the limited supply we will receive, we can only give 1 produce box and 1 dairy box to each family that comes.

The food supplement box program through RiverBend is a grab and go offering so families can technically stay in their cars, however, we encourage families to also park and go into the cafeteria to pick up a school breakfast and school lunch for each of their students through the National School Lunch program. Student IDs are needed for this school meal service. Students do not need to be present and a Food Service employee can look up your child’s ID number if you do not have it. Thanks for your patience last week. As it was our first time for this school year, we will monitor and adjust this meal service to better meet family needs.
