Weekly Family Update--August 16, 2021---SCHOOL STARTS THIS WEEK!!! 😀

 





Key Reopening Reminders
*Masks are required for all students and staff while inside the building.
*All students receive breakfast and lunch at NO COST to families. 
*Click here for the D114 2021-22 school year calendar. This shows school hours for regular attendance days, all our Early Release Days, holidays, and MORE! 

SHIELD Testing Opt In
Please complete this form for EACH child in your family to opt in to twice weekly SHIELD testing by Friday, August 20. 

We anticipate launching SHIELD testing in late August/early September. 

This will allow us to screen for asymptomatic cases and really keep our students and staff safe. It also allows us to implement "test to stay" when close contact situations arise and keep kids in school for more time with less time out due to quarantine! I know this is a hot topic, but I'd sure appreciate getting as many students to opt in as possible. The information remains STRICTLY confidential and will help us as a District as we navigate the year. THANK YOU for considering this.
