Dear Family and Friends,

We understand that you may be feeling anxious about what the start of a new school year will look like for your child(ren) this fall. We thank you for your patience and understanding as Urban Academy Charter School was looking for the guidance from Governor Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

Governor Tim Walz, MDE and MDH announced on Thursday, July 30, 2020, several options on how schools are to re-open this fall.  With the recent increased cases of COVID-19 in the United States and locally in Saint Paul, we want to ensure families that every decision that is made at Urban Academy begins with the health and safety of our students, staff and the community as a top priority.  Urban Academy will continue to work with city officials, MDE, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stay well informed of current events and future preventions of COVID-19. 

The Urban Academy School Board decided that Urban Academy will plan to start the school year in Distance Learning for all students at its August 3, 2020 board meeting.

We will operate in much the same way as we did during the Spring of 2020. We plan to gradually integrate more technology including providing Chromebooks for home use. We will be sending more information about this at a later date.

Based on guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health and MDE, and dependent on the number of COVID-19 cases in Ramsey County, Urban Academy will continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and re-evaluate the options of moving to a hybrid or in-person learning scenario later this fall.
