Indian River Central School District

Learning Together, Together to Learn

Indian River Central School District has contacted Jefferson County Public Health based on a report of a positive case of COVID-19 affecting a staff member at the Intermediate School. The staff member was asymptomatic, and initial exposure is believed to have occurred outside of the school hours. Please see the attached letter from IRCSD Superintendent Dobmeier for more information.

As mentioned in Superintendent Dobmeier's announcement earlier, here is the full regional Press Release concerning Fall Sports.

Today, Indian River Central School District joined other school districts in Jefferson County and the Sandy Creek Central School District, in making the difficult decision to postpone our participation in Fall 2020 interscholastic athletic competitions until March of 2021. In lieu of Fall interscholastic competitions, IRCSD will begin offering in-district intramural sports and other extracurricular activities in the coming weeks.

The IRCSD Summer/Fall 2020 Newsletter and Calendar are now available to view online.

Please read the following information for important updates to IRCSD Food Service for Fall 2020. All school meals are currently free for enrolled children, and parents will have the option to pick up three days of meals for virtual learning days. The USDA has recently extended free meals for all enrolled students until December 31, 2020.

This is a friendly reminder that the first day of school for students in cohort A is tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8th. All students in cohort Z will attend their first day of school on Thursday, September 10th. Virtual learning on Wednesday is not likely to begin in earnest until next week, though some of our secondary teachers have already reached out to students with informal ideas for this Wednesday.

The health and safety of our students, our staff, and their families is our top priority, and we want students and employees to feel comfortable and safe returning to school. This plan has been created to balance the challenging physical restrictions of social distancing and healthy interaction with the real educational opportunities and needs of our students, recognizing that this will require great flexibility on the part of everyone involved. We will help keep our community safe while providing opportunities for learning—we will remain #WarriorStrong!

The Indian River Central School District recognizes that children need healthy meals to learn. To find out if your children are eligible to receive free or reduced price meals, fill out the 2020-2021 Free or Reduced Price Meal Application today.
