Writer's picture: WCMPWCMP

Starting in the third week in October, the Pine City School District will have both elementary and high school students on a hybrid learning model.


This follows a rise in the rate of COVID-19 cases to 55.33 per 10,000 people. Even with Pine County factoring out the recent outbreak at FCI-Sandstone, the number of community cases would still sit above the Minnesota Department of Education's recommended threshold for in-person learning for elementary students.


Pine City Schools will implement a transition plan between now and Oct. 19, when they are set to switch over.


Pine City Elementary School will transition to its Hybrid Learning Plan on October 19.

  • The current week (October 5-9) continues "In-Person" learning for grades K-6.

  • Monday and Tuesday (October 12-13)--No elementary students will attend school. Elementary teachers & staff will be preparing for hybrid learning.

  • Wednesday (October 14) No students K-12. All teachers will be participating in professional development activities that have been planned for several months.

  • Thursday and Friday, (October 15-16). No staff or students per the school calendar.

  • Monday (October 19) PC Elementary implements its hybrid learning plan. Details about the elementary hybrid plan can be found here. Parents/guardians will receive more detailed information directly from the elementary administration.

    • Grades K-3 attend Monday-Friday (but meet in smaller groups than “in-person”).

    • Grades 4-6 attend "in-person" in smaller groups either M/T or Th/F. Administration will be in contact with families with the details.
