Monday, January 24, 2022 Dear Baraga Families, We are entering our third school year where COVID-19 has added disruption to our schedules. The last couple of weeks have been especially hard with an increasing number of cases in both staff and students. We have come to a point this week where the amount of staff and student shortages have become unmanageable at the elementary level. We have decided to put grades TK-5 into virtual learning for the rest of this week, January 25--28, 2022, to hopefully get our staff back to full capacity and slow things down a bit. We know this is inconvenient for many families and we didn’t come to this decision lightly. We will be working hard today to get the materials your children will need in order to participate in virtual learning this week. Please call the office with any questions or concerns and thank you for trusting Baraga with the education and well-being of your children. Thank you, Richard Sarau, Superintendent
