I hope your Easter weekend was truly wonderful. The weather was amazing, so I hope you were able to see loved ones and enjoy the sunshine.
Updated ISBE Guidance
Please review the ISBE guidance document and/or this awesome FAQ document to make sure you are clear on the new updates. The GREAT news is that we are able to more fully open...and we can get all of our in person learners on site for 4 days a week starting April 13! Please know that we will cannot FULLY open due to space concerns and the required 3 ft social distancing. If you have been learning full remote and wish to be put on a wait list for in person learning, please call your school(s) to make sure your child(ren) are added to the lists.
