Keeping Students Safe
Our ability to sustain in-person learning in D140 is dependent on our collective efforts to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. We will continue to track districtwide data, metrics provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH), and Northwestern University Medicine, and monitor the ability to maintain our safety protocols as we implement our Hybrid in-person learning model.
Students and families can do their part by:
- Completing the Student Self-Certification Form honestly and staying home when you are sick or have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19 within the past 14 days.
- Washing hands regularly and using hand sanitizer.
- Wearing face masks appropriately.
- Covering your coughs and sneezes
- Maintaining 6-foot physical distancing whenever possible.
- Being mindful of our activity outside of school and the potential impact it may have in school.
- Please do not send your child to school if they have symptoms that could be consistent with a diagnosis of COVID-19. Symptoms of COVID-19 may include the following: Fever (above 100.4) or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea
- Please do not send your child to school if anyone in your home is awaiting results of a COVID-19 test.
- If your child is sent home from school due to illness, please pick them up promptly and follow the return to school guidelines communicated to you by the nurse or administrator.
- If your child has been in close contact with an individual diagnosed with COVID-19 or someone with symptoms in the last two weeks, please contact the building nurse (or designee) prior to sending your child to school on November 4. Close contact is considered within 6 feet of the individual for more than 15 minutes, with or without a face covering
