Haskell Public Schools said they will transition to distance learning all this week due to illnesses within the district.

The school week will start Tuesday, Jan. 18. The announcement was made in a letter from district superintendent Rodney Luellen.

Luellen said students will have to log into their Google Chromebooks to access their assignments. Teachers will post their lessons throughout the week.

The district will continue serving breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the designated locations.

The superintendent also said the junior high basketball games scheduled for Tuesday have been postponed. All other events will go on as scheduled.
