MPS COVID-19 Tracker
McCook Public Schools is keeping track of the number of students and staff with active cases of COVID-19, recovered cases, and those who are currently quarantined due to direct contact with an infected person or who have shown symptoms and are awaiting test results. Please understand that those who are currently quarantined may not have the COVID virus, and those showing symptoms might be showing symptoms caused by some other common illnesses or condition.
If the Risk Dial reaches the elevated level at your child's building students may be required to wear masks. if your child's building reaches the pandemic level students may begin cohorting, or possibly even engaging in virtual/online learning. Parents will be notified with instructions when changes to school operation are made and if mandates are put in place.

Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department Area Risk Dial
Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) no longer uses a risk assessment dial. SWNPHD has decided to change and follow the Governor's risk assessment which is based on the number of individuals in the hospitals state wide. McCook Public Schools has decided that it is in the best interests of our students and staff to continue to use the standard risk dial, because it focuses on the conditions that exist within the District.

Please do not send sick students to school
No envíe estudiantes enfermos a la escuela
Due to a number of students coming to school with illnesses, we are reminding parents not send their sick children to school. Sending sick students to school spreads viruses and illnesses. If you want to keep schools open, please help us by keeping sick students at home. Thank you!
Debido al número de estudiantes que vienen a la escuela enfermos, les recordamos a los padres que no envíen a sus hijos enfermos a la escuela. Enviar a los estudiantes enfermos a la escuela predice virus y enfermedades. Si desea mantener las escuelas abiertas, ayúdenos manteniendo a los estudiantes enfermos en casa. ¡Gracias!
