There will no classes Monday for the AHSTW School District. On Friday, school officials announced on social media, as they continue to assess the health status of the district, it was determined classes would not be held Monday, Sept. 28th. In a letter to parents, students and staff following an Emergency School Board meeting on Saturday, the District announced also, that they will temporarily move to virtual learning beginning this week.

The Board, Saturday, said in a letter posted on social media, that due to the absentee percentages from the number of positive cases and primary exposures they will move to their continuous learning model and classes will be held virtually Tuesday through Friday and all activities have been canceled; including Homecoming events. Board President Bernadette Hatch said they will find a way to make Homecoming happen in some way at a different time.

The Board approved giving Superintendent Darin Jones the authorization to submit an application to the Iowa Department of Education for the authority to extend the Continuous Learning if needed.
