covid-19 Family Information

COVID-19

3/12/2020

 
As a public school district, we are continuing to work closely with and follow the guidance provided by county, state, and federal health agencies. Both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education are providing frequent and updated guidance that is somewhat fluid as the situation evolves. Deciding when and/or if to close schools continues to be a local decision and would be based upon student and staff absences, and any known exposures to individuals with confirmed infection. As of today, we have not been notified of any confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our school community or in the greater west-central region.

Our teachers and staff are working hard to maintain safe and clean learning environments. Custodians are doing additional cleaning in all school buildings, handwashing is being encouraged - with additional passing time allowed at the High School, cleaning supplies have been provided to teachers for use during the school day, buses are being wiped down daily, and we are developing home-based learning activities in the event that school closings are necessary. We have also begun to review large-attendance activities to insure we're supporting efforts to minimize transmission and be sensitive to high-risk populations. As of today, the following activities/events are being cancelled: STEAM Night at the Elementary scheduled for April 2; VIP Day at the Elementary on April 3; and the indoor track meet scheduled for Tuesday, March 17. We will evaluate other events and provide notification as this situation evolves. 

Please continue to engage in good preventative habits; do not send sick children to school; and stay in frequent touch with your school offices. ​
