Brandon-Evansville Superintendent Mr. Peschel School Update - 12.9.2020
https://youtu.be/GGz5i9RSJZ4
Hello Charger students, parents, and fans,
Here is an athletic and extracurricular activities update from today's December 3rd Minnesota State High School League meeting:
In regards to athletics, even if we return all-in for school, winter athletics and extracurricular activities will NOT begin until December 21st at the earliest. We will continue to update our students and parents as we hear more from the governor.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Subject: Coronavirus Confirmed Case-Staff
Dear Families/Students/Staff,
We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) of a lab confirmed case of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) with 2 members of the Brandon-Evansville staff with an exposure dates of November 19th, and November 23rd, 2020. We have 13 confirmed cases of a staff members since the start of school and 10 students in the district.
We have worked with local health officials to identify those who had close contact with the cases, and have communicated with them individually. This cases result from staff in distance learning in the middle school and high school. Parents of students affected have been contacted and the appropriate course of action has been taken. The risk of exposure for other individuals present in the building on that date is no greater than the risk of contracting the virus in the general community.
If you were not identified to have close contact with the positive case you should still monitor for symptoms of illness, but do not need to stay home unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
We understand that this may create unease in our community.
We have taken action to clean and sanitize the facility and are working closely with MDH to monitor the situation. We are asking all members of our community to minimize the spread of illness by taking the following actions:
· Protect yourself and others by wearing a face covering when it is hard to stay 6 feet away from people; washing your hands often with soap and water; covering your cough and sneeze; and avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands.
· If you are sick, stay home from child care and other activities.
· Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home. Keep enough food, regular prescription drugs, and other necessities on hand in case you need to stay home and are not able to go out easily.
· Frequently clean all commonly touched surfaces (e.g., telephones, doorknobs, countertops, etc.).
If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, MDH recommends:
1. Stay at home for at least 10 days, and for 24 hours with no fever and improvement of other symptoms (your fever should be gone for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicine).
2. Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website on
how to care for yourself at home; see What to Do If You Are Sick:
(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html)
3. If your household contacts were exposed to you while you had
symptoms, they should try to stay home as much as possible for 14 days.
This is a challenging time and I know many of you may be feeling stress or anxiety. We will get through this together as a community, and will be stronger when we emerge.

Good morning Brandon-Evansville Families, Parents, staff and Students, Today will be our last day all-in in grades Pre K-5. We will be moving to distance learning starting Thursday, November 19th.

Today your child will come home with materials including devices to help accommodate the change-over. Your classroom teacher’s will be preparing on Tuesday, November 17th and Wednesday, November 18th for this transition so there will be no school. Staff will be in touch with you over the next couple of days regarding the learning platform. We will be sending a survey out to K-5 parents regarding meals on Tuesday, November 17th. We will be collecting the data by Thursday morning so please respond by then. Meal delivery will start on Monday, November 23rd. More information will be available later this week regarding meal delivery. This change will not affect athletics at this point. Thank you, I know this is hard for you, we will re-eluate and make a decision regarding our model on Friday, November 27th for the week of November 30th through December 4th. Stay Healthy and Safe.
Just a reminder if you have signed up for meal delivery during distant learning please place a cooler with lid at the end of your driveway. Deliveries will be made on Mondays and Wednesdays. Monday’s meals will include that days breakfast and lunch as well as Tuesday’s

Congratulations October 2020 Students of the Month!
Here is what B-E staff have to say about Octobers Students of the month!
Emma Haugen 9-10
Emma has shown a tremendous improvement in advocating for herself and working hard to understand difficult concepts. She has also been seen helping others in class to get assignments done. - Bosma
Emma is becoming much more independent. She asks many good questions while working individually & obviously wants to succeed. She is very dependable in group situations & plays a big role in her group’s success. She can be quiet at times but it is obvious that she cares about other people & the work she is doing.--Mr. Johnson
Brandon Johnson 11-12
Brandon is a leader in the classroom and is making academics a priority when many seniors try to take it easy. He has shown great maturity and is pushing himself to be better every day. - Bosma
Brandon has really grown up from where he started in 9th grade. He has always been a goofy and easy going guy, but this year we have seen a more mature, focused, and determined individual. -Mr. Steele
Bryce Froemming 6-8
Bryce has consistently demonstrated a tremendous work ethic in class and has really become a positive leader for his classmates. He is always willing to help out with whatever needs to be set-up for an in class activity and also volunteers to help with clean-up. - Z. Traphagen
Bryce is willing to go above and beyond what is expected of him. When asked to help out with non-academic tasks, he quickly says yes and follows through. He has been an amazing addition to Student Council and sets the example for those around him. -Mr. Steele
I may be a little biased, but I think Bryce is a great kid! He is very helpful in class (and at home). He has taken a leadership role as the 7th grade class president and serves on the student council. He has taken both roles very seriously and done a great job. - Mrs. Froemming (mom)
Annika Sletto 6-8
Annika has always been prepared for class with her best work. She volunteers answers and takes part in all discussions with insightful answers and sometimes better questions. She is quick to smile and I have never heard her say a cross word to, or about, anyone. Her respect for others shows in how she carries herself in and out of the classroom. My class is better because she is in it. Thank you Annika- Mr. Olson
Annika is a role model student. She is pleasant, respectful, and responsible. She comes to class with a great attitude and work ethic. Keep up the great work! - Mrs. Froemming
