McKinley Elementary in Owatonna Shifting to Distance Learning
McKinley Elementary STEAM School in Owatonna is shifting to distance learning this week. In a message on Twitter, @StemMcKinley stated, "McKinley is transitioning to distance learning at the end of the school day today (Monday, November 9). There is no school tomorrow (Tuesday); distance learning starts Wednesday."
The Twitter message instructed families to "Please check your email for more information or call our Main Office at 507-444-8200."
Owatonna elementary schools have been operating on an in-person model, while secondary schools are on a hybrid learning model. Students in the district also had the option of requesting distance learning.
Find out more about the district's COVID-19 response and Safe Learning Plan. There was no indication Monday that any other Owatonna school was shifting their learning model.
