If you have not been contacted, your child is not considered a close contact, and there is nothing special you need to do.

Dear Waubun Ogema White Earth Schools Community, We are very excited to announce our learning plan changes that we will be implementing in the 3rd quarter. We originally were going to bring our students EC-12 back to Hybrid Learning, but since Governor Walz had a press conference on December 16th in which he prioritized in person learning for our youngest students, we need to make changes to our planning. To continue reading the safe learning plan please follow this link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FNmMdUtglVexKdL4VfQ2gscdmOmDR9q6ET9E27aDNEM/edit?usp=sharing
