Hello D103 families,

Traveling for work, pleasure, or family events may create an opportunity to contract COVID-19 and transmit it to others when you return. In order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are asking families who have recently traveled to follow these procedures prior to your child attending school:

1. Have your child tested for COVID-19 with an RT-PCR test. Tests are widely available through CVS, Walgreens, your personal physician, or a Lake County testing site

2. Do not send your child to school until you receive a negative result

3. Share the results with school and your physician

4. If you or your child exhibit any COVID-19 symptom, please contact your personal physician for further instructions.

As a reminder, by sending your child to school each day, you are certifying that your child does not have any COVID-19 symptom:

• Fever 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

Our goal is to maintain a COVID-19 free environment at school. By avoiding risky behaviors and following the three W's - 1. Wear a mask, 2. Wash your hands, 3. Watch your distance, we can reduce the risk of COVID-19 in our schools and keep them open for our children.

Thank you and we look forward to in-person learning starting on Tuesday, the 19th of January.

Sincerely,

Scott Warren, Ed.D.

Superintendent of D103 Schools

The Lake County Health Department has an important news bulletin about the COVID-19 vaccine coming to Lake County.

211 is an easy to remember, 24-hour information and referral helpline in Lake County. It’s designed to reduce time and frustration by acting as a central access point to the health and human services in Lake County.

• Call 211 or text 898211

Without 211, people are often faced with finding services on their own. The result is a lot of time spent calling around trying to find the answer to their need. 211 can answer questions about housing, immigration, government, financial support, crisis management, and more.
