On Thursday, January 9, a CMS student attempted to cross Big Horn Avenue on the way to school. The student was struck by a semi-truck, and by the grace of God, was not seriously injured. Upon arrival at school, the student was treated by the school nurse, and taken for medical treatment by their parent. We are extremely grateful that this student is safe.
Park 6 has been working with the City of Cody to seek solutions for pedestrians crossing Big Horn Avenue. The district has identified Big Horn Avenue as a safety hazard and therefore provides bus transportation to students who might otherwise cross Big Horn Avenue by foot or by bike.
Park 6 staff, Trustees, City of Cody and the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) met on this issue on October 13, 2020, and WYDOT failed to offer a viable solution. Big Horn Avenue is a state highway (WY Highway 14) and is therefore under the jurisdiction of the the State. WYDOT's requirements for meeting the pedestrian threshold to include a safe crosswalk is one obstacle, among many, that has prevented us from moving forward with a solution. The District continues to work alongside the City of Cody and WYDOT to seek solutions. We will be meeting with our city partners again next week.
Student safety is top priority. We ask parents to encourage their students to ride the bus when a safe route to school is unavailable.

Currently buildings within the district are unable to receive external phone calls. Tech department staff is working on diagnosing and resolving this issue. Buildings can receive email messages. We will post updates as information becomes available.
Just a reminder that staff and students all report back to school on Monday, January 4, 2021! Happy New Year!
We have internet service back thanks to the diligence and perseverance of Mr. Amos Olson!
Please be aware! Our internet connection for most of CHS, HMA and Central Office has failed. We are working on the system and hope to have it up and running soon. Email and phone service is impacted. If you are trying to call or email staff today, you will not be able to get through. There is the potential that the system may be down through tomorrow, Wed., Dec 16th. Sorry for any inconvenience! We plan to live stream the Board Meeting through the use of hotspots for this evening! It is 2020 after all!

Due to a request from parents, we are providing more detailed information about our COVID19 student cases as of today. Please know that this changes daily! Today we have a total of 69 students out due to COVID, either quarantined or positive. Here is the break down by building:
Sunset Elementary = 18 students
Livingston Elementary = 10 students
Eastside Elementary = 8 students
Valley/Wapiti = 0 students
CMS = 16 students
CHS/HMA = 17 students
The predictions for the next couple of weeks is that our numbers will continue to increase. In fact numbers are predicted to increase through January. It is difficult to find anyone who isn't impacted by COVID fatigue. We have to be strong, stay diligent, and hang in there! We can do this for our kids and their teachers!

This message is intended to keep parents and community members updated concerning the impact of COVID19 on students and staff in our Park 6 schools. As of this morning, we have 68 students out, either quarantined or isolated, and 12 staff members (7 of whom are teachers). At this time, we are NOT considering any short-term school closures. We are hoping to make it to winter break and beyond, business as usual.
Winter sports and activities are in full swing. Please contact the Activities Office if you have questions about requirements/restrictions for attending your student's competitions or performances. 587-6110 The requirement to wear masks at any event is non-negotiable. Compliance with this mandate from the WHSAA will allow our students to continue to perform and compete.
Due to our success with our remote learning platform, keeping our students engaged in their classes/classroom instruction is allowing us to continue in a Tier 1 mode (with adjustments). Each of our staff members is essential to the district's operations, from bus drivers and custodians to teachers and support staff. The impact of COVID to our staff members could overcome our ability to keep our doors open. Everything that you do to keep your children well (masks, handwashing, keeping them home if they are sick) helps our staff stay well and continue to come to work.
Thank you for your efforts to help us out! It takes a village!

As you know, Park County has enacted a mask mandate through Dec. 4th. While we recognize that that may not be a popular decision, we have been able to keep our schools open because of our mitigation measures which includes wearing masks by staff and students. The District applauds our county officials for taking this step.
The Wyoming High School Athletics Association has worked with the WY Dept. of Health to develop guidance for winter sports. That guidance includes a mandate that all spectators wear masks for the duration of the event regardless of social distancing and sitting with family groups. Concession stands will not be open and no food will be allowed in the gyms or other venues.
No mask...No entrance to the building! No debate! Spectators' compliance with this mandate will be a determining factor in whether spectators continue to be allowed access to games AND whether winter sports will be able to continue at all.
Thank you for your efforts to help keep our schools open and our sports and activities continuing.
We can't thank the Blue and Gold Booster club enough for their generous donation of this trailer!
Dear Park 6 Parents,
We are reaching out to thank you for your diligence in temperature and COVID-19 symptom checks before your students come to school each day! As you know, staff at each school have been double checking temperatures as students come into the building every morning. Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18th, we will no longer be screening temperatures as students arrive at school because after 11 weeks of school, data from our school nurses does not support our continuing this practice. All but a very few cases have been caught by our nurses when students present with symptoms during the day, rather than a temperature check at the door. So keep up the good work at home as we head into the winter months! We appreciate your support in keeping our schools open!
Tonight the Park 6 School Board will be holding their regular November meeting. You may use this link to view the meeting from home.
