Schools Closed as of March 17

Gov. Tony Evers on March 17, 2020, ordered the closure of all K-12 Wisconsin schools, public and private, from Wednesday, March 18, through the duration of of the public health emergency, as part of the state's efforts to respond to and contain the spread of COVID-19 in Wisconsin. The announcement affects almost 855,000 students in more than 400 districts across the state - and adds Wisconsin to a growing list of states to close schools.

“Closing our schools is not a decision I made lightly, but keeping our kids, our educators, our families, and our communities safe is a top priority as we continue our work to respond to and prevent further spread of COVID-19 in Wisconsin,” Evers said. “Kids and families across Wisconsin often depend on our schools to access food and care. We are going to continue working to do everything we can to ensure kids and families have the resources and support they need while schools are closed.”

The School District of New London will be closed as of March 17.  All after-school activities and athletics, including practices, also will be canceled.

Our District will continue to communicate with our school community about further resources available for students and families. We encourage parent guardians to make decisions based on facts and foster quality environments for our children.

Prevent the Spread

What You Can Do and Our Cleaning Measures

The School District of New London has a routine cleaning regimen in place to help reduce the spread of germs and communicable disease. In addition to our regular cleaning and disinfection, we are increasing the cleaning of high-touch areas and hard and soft surface items throughout the day. We will follow all guidelines of the CDC and our local and state health departments.

We all play a role in helping reduce the spread of communicable disease. We are asking our students, staff and families to practice regular preventive actions (see flyer in English, Spanish, Hmong and Mandarin Chinese) including:

• Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Make sure to wash your fingertips. This is especially important after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing into your hands, and before preparing or consuming food.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
• Stay home if you are sick.
