Today, the Board of Directors for the Kansas State High School Activities Association held a special meeting to determine additions and revisions to regulations for the winter sports season. The new developments as it pertains to MDCV JH/HS basketball is as follows:
-No practices December 23 - January 3
-No competitions December 23 - January 7
-No spectators December 1 - January 28
Currently, with games postponed due to the temporary move to remote learning, and with the limited turnaround time for our athletes to prepare for competition, MDCV is not competing in any games before winter break. However, practices will resume upon our return.
Rescheduling of games affected by the KSHSAA decision and the temporary move to remote learning is currently ongoing. New dates of rescheduled games will be posted as soon as possible.
We will do everything we can to make sure our students have an opportunity to compete this season.
Happy Online Learning day today MdCV Students! Please remember that the JH/HS is taking attendance for each class period, and the elementary is taking attendance during their check ins each morning. Please call the office if your student is not going to be able to make it for any class periods, or the day, due to an appointment or parent request.
Thank you & Have a Relaxing & Safe Thanksgiving Break!
REMINDER: Drive-thru food service for students will be provided tomorrow, Nov. 24, from 11:30am to 12:00pm at both buildings. Details on food service for the coming weeks will be shared later this week. Come on by tomorrow to get your student a breakfast and lunch!

We apologize, a previously scheduled post was made this morning about tonight's CANCELLED Junior High Basketball game against Burlingame. To clarify, tonight's game has been cancelled. We regret the miscommunication.
Planning for remote learning will be continual during these initial days and information will be directly shared from either building principals or your child's classroom teacher as it is developed, but it is important to note the general Remote Learning Plan specifics. Attached are the components for remote learning within the district and what is expected from teachers, students, parents, and the district. Please continue to monitor the district's modes of communication for future information. We look forward to working with you on creating a setup that will be conducive for success with your student.

NEWS: Today, USD 456 was notified that a student at the JH/HS building has tested positive for COVID-19. In consultation with the Osage County Health Department, individuals who have been deemed a close contact while at school have been quarantined. Parents/guardians of those students quarantined have been contacted directly by school administration and will receive further guidance from OCHD. USD 456 continues to encourage students, parents, and staff to stay vigilant about their health, stay home when symptomatic, mask up when in public, and maintain appropriate hygiene during the course of the day.

Attention: High School Scholars’ Bowl scheduled for tomorrow in Melvern has been postponed. We will look at a makeup time in the future.
NEWS: Today, USD 456 was notified that a student at the elementary building has tested positive for COVID-19. In consultation with OCHD, due to their interaction with others occurring at school while masked, there are not any other resulting home quarantines amongst staff or students.
However, given the close nature of the student interaction and the ability to cohort, the district is instituting a "cohort schedule" for 3rd grade students. Parents of those students are to be contacted today by school staff and we will discuss the specifics of the schedule with parents directly.
This does not affect any other grade level in the district.
USD 456 continues to encourage students, parents, and staff to stay vigilant about their health, stay home when symptomatic, mask up when in public, and maintain appropriate hygiene during the course of the day.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
