On Tuesday, August 24, 2021, the Northville Public Schools Board of Education approved a modified 2021-22 COVID-19 Mitigation Plan, voting in favor of Universal Indoor Masking for students, staff, and visitors when community transmission of COVID-19 is at the moderate, substantial and/or high transmission level as defined by CDC metrics, with consideration given to our local community data along with county data. If our community moves into low transmission that is sustained for a period of time (i.e. 7-14 days), masks would be strongly recommended, but not required. The combined City of Northville/Northville Twp community transmission (seven- day average cases per 100,000 population) is currently in HIGH transmission, consistent with levels of transmission in both Wayne and Oakland Counties, after a sustained period of time in substantial transmission. The universal masking expectation will go into effect beginning on August 26, 2021.

During the Northville Board of Education Committee of the Whole meeting on August 17, 2021, the NPS Central Office Leadership Team recommended a multiple layered approach to COVID-19 mitigation and safety measures for the 2021-2022 school year.

After thoughtful consideration of this information, along with the remaining layers of mitigation currently in place in our classrooms and schools, the Board of Education supported a modification of our face mask protocol in our summer programs to provide for greater parental choice.

On Tuesday, May 24, 2021, the Northville Public Schools Board of Education reaffirmed approval for a full in-person return for all students PK-26 for the 2021-2022 school year. The full in-person return, detailed by grade level below, is a return to the typical in-person school experience. Please note that the District is not offering a separate full virtual option for families with NPS teachers as offered during the 2020-21 school year. The district will continue to offer the same virtual programming options that were available to families prior to the 2020-21 school year. Please continue reading for more specific information about 2021-22!
