Dear Parents and Students,
The SWNPHD Risk Dial is now Red (Severe Risk). In response to this change and concerns about the possibility of increasing Covid cases in school, the District will move to Orange (Elevated Risk) on the Paxton Return to School Plan. It is important for all of us to do our part to continue with in-person learning. Please read the attached Return to School Plan and the latest SWNPHD information. Help keep our school community safe by masking when you are unable to social distance.
Thank you, Mr. Dack

Dear Paxton School Families,
Below is important information from Southwest Nebraska Public Health District. Please take time to read this important information.
Gatherings and Community Spread in Southwest Nebraska
Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) had 192 new cases of COVID-19 reported from October 27th to November 2nd.
Case investigations have revealed that most of the current spread of COVID-19 in southwest Nebraska is occurring at small gatherings and workplaces, along with community spread. SWNPHD recommends that everyone take precautions to protect their friends, neighbors, and coworkers by avoiding the 3 C’s, even in small groups, which are 1) crowded places, 2) close contact, and 3) confined spaces.
Please wear a mask when you are unable to avoid the 3 C’s. We ALL need to do our part to keep the 20-21 school year going with in-person learning.
Mr. Dack
The second graders were so excited to cast their ballots for our Healthy Foods Election and the presidential election 🇺🇸 #wevoted
