D114 Weekly Family Updates 8/29/22

          

Dear Families, 

We had the BEST first week of school! In my 29 years in education, I have never experienced such a wonderful week. The students were AMAZING, the staff is so excited to have everyone back, and there's just a sense of huge happiness everywhere you go!!!

Please see below for updates and info you can use!

Student Meals 22-23

In D114, ALL students receive free breakfast and lunch. Students are welcome to bring lunches from home, as well. They can also purchase a la carte items--information coming soon on this!

Medical Guidelines

• Please DO NOT send your child to school sick. If they have a fever, vomit, a persistent cough or have diarrhea, please keep them home for at least 24 hours and until they are feeling better.  See our Sick Day Guidelines here for more information.

• Notify us if they have tested positive for COVID, Flu, Strep or other diagnosed condition so we can partner with you on a plan for them. 

• We are no longer participating in surveillance testing, but we do have rapid tests on hand. We will only do a rapid test with parent/guardian permission. We can also direct you to easy locations to get PCR tests or at home rapid tests if you need them. 

• We will not be providing remote access unless specifically needed, and this will be determined on a case by case basis.

COVID Updates

We are starting this year in a "back to normal" way!!!! With the CDC's reduced guidelines, we are now waiting for IDPH and LCHD guidance. For now, here's what we know:

*We will "deep clean" all spaces and buses situationally.
