Grandparents Day 2020 Due to the pandemic we will not be having Grandparents Day the Friday before Thanksgiving as we usually do. 2020 has provided us with many challenges. Although disappointed, we are not deterred in our efforts to have Grandparents Day. On average we provide near 1,000 meals to grandparents and students. We are not cancelling Grandparents Day, but we are postponing it from November 20, 2020 to April 1st, 2021 the Thursday before Easter. Please mark this day on your calendar. This will be a special day to celebrate!! Grandparents Day is not cancelled. It's just postponed. Thank you, Mr. Sims

COVID UPDATE 10/23/2020 I am happy to report that this particular week we have had 0 covid cases reported in Minco Schools. This is an unprecedented time of stress and challenge for our generation, and the fact that we had no cases in Minco this week is worth celebrating. Covid fatigue is real. I do not like wearing a mask so much, my daughter was quarantined for 14 days due to exposure, our football team has missed two games the last two weeks due to opponents quarantining and having covid in their teams. It stinks. There are several other descriptive words that are just not suitable for a superintendent to use to be quite honest. The weariness is real, but in these times of adversity, we will not give in to fear or self pity. We will remain strong. We will have more covid situations to deal with. It's just the nature of the virus, but what we are doing has been working. The quarantining is difficult at best, but the preventative measures taken has helped keep our numbers of Covid to a manageable level. Our number one goal above everything else is to keep our doors open for an in person education. So far we have had the good fortune to keep our doors open and not go virtual district wide. We will surely deal with Covid in the coming months, but we will manage it to the best of our abilities. This week was a great week. No Covid cases in Minco Schools. Let’s be grateful for this! Thank you, Kevin Sims Superintendent
