School districts in Door and Kewaunee Counties are preparing to say good-byes to their students for the summer. It is a different kind of good-bye this year since students have been learning remotely after buildings closed down in mid-March due to COVID-19 concerns. Southern Door School District wrapped up classes this week with parents and students dropping off their materials before beginning their summer while others still have just over a week to go. Washington Island School Principal Michelle Kanipes says the positive aspect she has taken away from the last two-plus months is knowing the students actually like their teachers and being in class.

The last day of school for many districts is June 5th. Sturgeon Bay, Algoma, and Sevastopol are hosting their graduation activities this weekend and Gibraltar will host their event on June 7th. Kewaunee, Luxemburg-Casco, and Washington Island have postponed their graduations until a later date.
