If you are currently working in a school or will be working in a school, it is important to be aware of current COVID guidelines for the school districts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Augsburg\u2019s contract with school districts states that the school has the right to exclude from the Program any student who does not provide all information required under the school\u2019s policies and procedures in a timely manner. School districts continue updating their guidelines regarding COVID-19 mitigation strategies like vaccination, wearing masks, social distancing, etc. For instance, on October 15, Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) implemented a vaccine requirement for staff and volunteers in the building. Augsburg students completing clinical experience (field experience or student teaching) at a Minneapolis school site must follow the District\u2019s policy and processes for vaccination and testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other sites may make updates to their COVID-19 guidelines. Any vaccination or testing requirements with school sites must be completed with the school site. As a clinical experience student, you are responsible for following the school site guidelines. Augsburg cannot send vaccination information to your school site. Make sure to watch for communication from your school for any changes in policies and procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25a0 COVID-19 Vaccine Connector Information: If you haven\u2019t already done so, go to the vaccine connector website to sign up: &lt;https:\/\/mn.gov\/covid19\/vaccine\/connector\/connector.jsp&gt;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Submitting news to Augsburg:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Education Department Newsletter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Send your news to Joseph Erickson at C.B. 312 or erickson-AT-augsburg.edu.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Augsburg Now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> published by the Augsburg University Office of Public Relations and Communication: Send your news to C.B. 145 or now@augsburg.edu.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the daily A-Mail electronic newsletter: Go to AugNet Home Page and login.
