For more than two months, more than 70 Festus R-VI School administrators and staff have been working on a plan to safely re-open school. Six committees met several times to address the issues our schools will face when it comes to welcoming students and staff back into the classroom. The results of that work is this 31-page Re-Entry Plan. A shorter 2-page summary can be found here. It is important to note, that his plan is fluid and subject to change based on the circumstances at the time and on the guidance and recommendations from the Jefferson County Health Department. It reflects the situation as of today, July 20, 2020 and could look much different by the time school starts on August 24. Superintendent Dr. Link Luttrell will be available to answer questions Thursday night, July 23 from 6-7pm in a Facebook Live Question and Answer session on the District Facebook page.
