Contact: Jennifer Miller/Elizabeth Goodsitt 608-266-1683 Keeping Kids Safe During Back to School As cases rise, DHS and DPI urge districts and schools to follow COVID-19 guidance The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and Department of Public Instruction (DPI) have released guidance on strategies districts and schools can use to best protect students during in-person learning this school year. "As a parent planning for this school year, it's great to see so many schools and districts taking steps to keep students, teachers, and staff safe by enrolling in our COVID-19 testing program. I encourage parents to sign those testing consent forms, and if you haven't seen one yet, reach out to your schools and make sure they're involved in the program," said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. "I also encourage everyone who can get vaccinated to do it right away. The Delta variant is highly infectious, and getting vaccinated is part of what we all need to do to stop the spread and protect our children, and their opportunity to participate fully in school and school activities this upcoming academic year."
