Parents, Guardians & Students,

We wish all of you a Happy New Year!

It is that time of year whereby our district may find itself facing weather related disruptions. We want the community to know that the Albert Gallatin Area School District will be utilizing “remote learning” when in the past our school district would normally be closed due to weather related issues. We will not have to cancel instruction for weather related issues, water main breaks, facility problems, etc. In turn, this means the District will not have to make up days.

We will provide notification on our district website, social media platforms, and news media outlets that the Albert Gallatin Area School District will be utilizing “Remote Learning” for that particular day. On these days, all students will stay home and will log in live with their teachers starting with first period following their regular schedule. Starting log in times are as follows:

7:20 AM High School

8:20 AM Middle Schools

9:00 AM Elementary Schools

Because “remote days” represent regular school days, all students are required to log in at assigned times and complete assignments as they are given during live instruction. There will be no recordings or extended time beyond the school day for completion. It is important that students take their Chromebooks home each day in the event a “remote day” is called.

Some days may only require a delayed start (typically a 2-hour delay). All students will report to their school for in-person instruction and follow the school’s delay schedule.

If you have any questions, please contact your building principal or central office administration.

Stay safe and healthy!

Colonial Students, Parents and Staff:

The Albert Gallatin Area School Board revised the District’s Health and Safety Plan during a special board meeting on Friday, December 17, 2021. The revision removes making masks an option for students, staff and visitors to requiring masks while indoors for all students, staff and visitors while in any of the District’s school buildings. This includes all indoor athletic events and extra-curricular activities. Similarly, the federal public transportation masking requirement remains in effect. All students, staff and bus drivers are required to wear masks while on district transportation.

The revised Health and Safety Plan is effective immediately. The AGASD Board of Directors will review and make any revisions to the Health and Safety Plan at the next regularly scheduled board meeting on January 19, 2022.

We are respectful of the varying opinions on masking and grateful to the number of parents, students, staff and community members that have voiced their opinions on this topic. As positive cases continue to rise, the requirement to wear a mask while indoors has greatly reduced the number of students quarantining due to the fact that when all students are masked there is no close contact under the current guidelines. As always, we appreciate your cooperation in this matter and thank you all for your continued support.

I wish all of you an enjoyable, safe and healthy Holiday Season!!

Sincerely,

Christopher A. Pegg, Superintendent
