Kids in Oskaloosa will be starting the new school year in their classrooms. The Oskaloosa School Board approved a Return to Learn program at Tuesday’s (8/11) Board meeting.

“Our default delivery of instruction will be face to face. We are anticipating right now that we are going to start face to face with our students and staff on August 24. We do have a required mask rule in place after tonight (8/11). The Board did support that. We are requiring that all students and staff have a mask. We will be issuing them one the first day of school, So if someone doesn’t have one, we will make sure that we get them one. We will also have single use masks available in the buildings, if a student happens to forget theirs.”

Oskaloosa Superintendent Paula Wright tells the No Coast Network that approximately 200 students in the district have signed up for virtual learning from home.  You can still sign up your child for virtual learning.  The new  school year in Oskaloosa starts August 24.
