The Tuesday Flyer Message Good Evening Bagley Flyers! As you may have heard, this past Saturday the Bagley School Board voted for In Person Learning with the option for families to opt out of in person and go Distance Learning. If you haven't registered please do so to ensure a smooth back to school experience. We are excited to welcome students back in the building. Please remember, In Person Learning will be different than school prior to Covid 19. Keep a close eye out for more updates throughout the week about open house, transportation, schedules, teacher assignments, and supply lists.Thank you for your support in helping us follow the safety precautions to make In Person Learning safe for everyone.

The Tuesday Flyer Message Happy Tuesday Bagley Flyers! Last night the Bagley School Board hosted a live Zoom session, that had over 100 guests. We reviewed our plans for the upcoming school year. The Bagley School Board had a focused discussion and brought up important concerns and advocated what they thought was best for our students. Three motions were put forward and resulted in a tie vote. Because of the three failed attempts to pass the motion, the action item was tabled to a later date. The special board meeting has been set for Saturday, August 22 at 8am. Here is the link to the proposed plan that was presented at last night's meeting. https://sites.google.com/bagley.k12.mn.us/bagleypublicschools/home Thank you for your patience in this matter. We are not taking this decision lightly. We want what is best for your children, our students, and the Bagley community.
