science, math, English and
other subjects.
“We’re trying to make the
best out of a really tough sit-
uation,” Heyen said. “That’s
our mode as we move for-
ward. We want to take pre-
cautions and keep the kids
safe. The kids are probably
tired of hearing us say ‘Wash
your hands!’”
Heyen has been meeting
with teachers and staff mem-
bers at the end of each school
day to troubleshoot.
“I’m very glad we were able
to pivot the way we did to get
our kids in school,” he said.
“The thing I worried about
was busing. But it has worked
out and the buses are not
packed.”
He credited his teachers,
staff and the transportation
director with making things
work.
“Two days in and we’re run-
ning like clockwork.”
At the high school, new
Principal Josh Jannusch de-
scribed a smooth situation
for a week that could have
been chaotic.
“We’re rolling right along.
Our first official day was
Monday. We had the kids
working online for the first
two days,” Jannusch said on
Wednesday. “Today was the
first time we had our first
batch of high-schoolers in the
building.”
Classes there are small and
only 100 of the 265 students
can be on campus at a time.
So they’re attending every
other day with 65 enrolled in
online only classes.
“It’s going really well. The
students are happy to be back
and the teachers are ecstatic
to have the kids back as well,”
he said.
“The kids have done a really
good job of adapting to all the
protocols as well.”
The district initially had
been unsure when upper
grades could return to in-per-
son classes. But then the
state’s number of COVID-19
cases began dropping ever so
slightly.
“What a year to take over
the principalship,” Jannusch
said. “Luckily, I have a strong
staff at the high school to help
me through it. And Mr. Hey-
en (the high school’s former
principal) has been a great
mentor as well.”
