Nurse Notes
PLEASE KEEP IN CONTACT WITH YOUR NURSE
COVID-19- Hello Glenn Eagles, we have had a few changes in our COVID protocol from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and I wanted to keep all families informed on our COVID policies to help keep our students and staff healthy and safe. The changes made by the IDPH are listed below.
Schools will no longer accept Doctors notes with Alternate diagnosis, all students who have any symptoms are REQUIRED to have a COVID test or be excluded for the 10 day period.
The school system is now allowed to accept all types of COVID test including rapid testing for children with symptoms. If you are a close contact a PCR is still required for testing for early release.
Any child who has symptoms may return with a negative test and MUST be fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of medication and must be Vomit free/ Diarrhea free for 48 hours.
If you need guidance on where to test the below link will take you to the local business that are providing COVID testing. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me and I would be happy to help guide you through the process.
Local COVID Testing sites can be found at this link below. https://health.mcleancountyil.gov/735/COVID-19-Local-Testing-Options
Thank you for helping us provide a safe and healthy environment!!!

Book Fair
Dear Parents,
THE BOOK FAIR IS BACK!
Each year the library hosts a Scholastic Book Fair to raise funds to purchase new books for our library. This year our fair will be October 18th through October 22nd (Parent Teacher Conference Day). During the week, each child visits the Book Fair with their class and can make purchases. We will be open before school (7:20-7:40), during IMC class, and all day on PT conference day. We do ask that if you plan to shop before school, an adult would need to be with your student.
If you are unable to attend in person, you can find the link for our online book fair here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/glennelementaryschool. The online fair runs from the 18th-31st.
Soon, your child will be bringing home preview sheets for the book fair. Please look over this with your child and if you plan to make a purchase from the sheet please remember that tax has not been added.
