Dayton Middle and High School will be returning to in-person learning on Monday, September 13th. We still have some staff and students who are out with Covid, or in quarantine, but most all of our staff are back. We are thankful for that! I would ask you to continue to stay safe and keep your kids home if they are sick and take precautions to stay well. Enjoy the fair but be safe.
Saturday's home football game and Tuesday's volleyball game at Goldendale have both been cancelled due to the COVID situation in Dayton.
Due to the number of rising cases with students at the MS/HS and a shortage of staff, Dayton Schools will stay with remote learning for grades 6-12 next week (September 7th through 9th). The elementary school will continue to stay with in-person learning. Thank you to parents for keeping students at home who are showing symptoms of illness. It will help keep our elementary students in school. Please stay safe this three-day weekend. We plan to switch back to in-person learning for MS/HS on Monday, September 13th.
Thank you,
Superintendent Strot
