Your kids are experiencing the closest they have been to “normal” at their schools in Door and Kewaunee counties in over two years. Only Luxemburg-Casco and Sevastopol have active COVID-19 cases among their student and staff population, with each having just one apiece, according to the districts' COVID-19 dashboards as of 9 a.m. Tuesday. Masks are now optional at all of the schools, and many of the mitigation strategies that have been in place since schools returned from being shut down in March 2020 have either been drastically reduced or eliminated. Southern Door School District Superintendent Chris Peterson credits the community with understanding their tactics during the last several months.

Washington Island and Kewaunee were the only districts in Door and Kewaunee counties to go into virtual learning this school year due to COVID-19 and staffing shortages. Washington Island students were off nearly a month when their cases began to elevate near winter break. Kewaunee had just a few days of virtual learning when it saw an increase in all illnesses and was experiencing staffing shortages. Gibraltar took a couple of days off when they saw elevated case counts and a staffing shortage in late January, but they did not go into virtual learning.
