Steamboat Springs School District has all schools open, but that could change any day because of the rising cases of COVID. Superintendent Brad Meeks says he meets virtually with all of the principals each afternoon to get a staff update on their individual schools. Dr. Meeks says the principals have also been keeping families up-to-date on the status of their schools, as far as COVID.

COVID testing is provided to staff and students in the Steamboat Springs School District. It’s part of the state’s serial testing program. Dr. Meeks says the district is also highly encouraging staff to get boostered for COVID as it is proving most effective.

Dr.Meeks sent an email over the break to students, parents, and staff that the district wants students to be in school for in-person learning as much as possible. They’re encouraging vaccinations for all who are eligible, mask wearing is mandatory, and stay at home if sick or if you are COVID positive.
