Hot Springs County School District in person classes resume

Hot Springs County School District Superintendent Dustin Hunt announced Monday that classes throughout the district would resume on Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Initially, the district went to Tier 3 virtual learning due to staff having to quarantine for COVID-19.

So many staff were out that the district ran out of substitute teachers for classrooms, forcing the district to move to Tier 3.

Hunt said that those numbers have improved enough to return to in person classes. Buses ran, lunch was served and extra curricular activities and athletic practices all resumed.

Hunt has asked that everyone please continue to monitor family members for symptoms and to keep students home who exhibit symptoms of the virus.

Considerable changes have also been made to activities with regards to athletes and spectators. Those changes were mandated by the Wyoming High School Activities Association and are outlined in a separate story on page 6 of this edition of the Independent Record.
