The White Salmon Valley School District pushed back its reopening dates for in-person instruction for at least two weeks after an increase in COVID-19 cases in Klickitat County pushed the district over the metrics established by the Washington State Department of Health.  In a letter to parents, district administrators said when the numbers fall back within the state guidelines, they will continue with its phased-in hybrid reopening plans.  Tentative reopening dates now include November 30 for kindergarteners and first and fourth graders, December 7 for grades two, three, five, and six, and January 4 for secondary grades.  The increases in cases has also led the district to pause individualized instruction and support to a prioritized small group of students until further notice.  The district will re-evaluate the metrics next Monday.
