The COVID-19 metrics for Yamhill County continue to be too high for the reopening of McMinnville schools to large groups of students according to the current Oregon Department of Education metrics which advises that schools do not fully open if the COVID-19 case count is greater than 200 cases per 100,000 population. The number of COVID-19 cases for the weeks of 12/27/20-1/9/21 in Yamhill County is 403 per 100,000.



The Oregon Department of Education will release revised guidelines on January 19th. MSD will review the guidelines and hope for more in-person opportunities following second-quarter pending improved county health metrics. Until opening for more in-person learning, MSD will continue comprehensive distance learning and limited in person instruction for small cohorts of students.

Later this month parents will receive a survey to let the district know if they plan to return their child for in-person learning when we are able to offer it or if they would prefer their child to continue in remote learning.
