Tis the Season to Be Grateful
We are so thankful for the kind emails, "thankful" shout outs in the car line, generous and delicious treats brought to school, and the wonderful thank you in the Clarendon Hills Courier. Our goal is to keep our doors open and continue with our learning models. Over the Thanksgiving break, please remember the 3W's, and continue to keep everyone safe. We look forward to conferences on Monday and Tuesday and seeing your kiddos return on November 30th.

Safety Reminders from District 181
We Need Your Help to Stay on Track - CDC and IDPH Guidelines
Please note the following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Illinois Department of Public Health:
Holiday Gatherings: Limit in-home gatherings to immediate household members, per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Illinois Department of Public Health.
Recreational Activities: Pause all indoor group sporting and recreational activities, including youth and adult recreational sports, per the Governor’s order.
Traveling: According to the CDC, travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Reporting
It is important that we are able to continue to monitor COVID metrics over the Thanksgiving break. If your child becomes symptomatic, tests positive, or is a close contact to a positive case, please be sure to use this link or the one located on your school’s homepage to make a timely report.Switching to Remote Learning
The recent increase in quarantined and isolated students has created a capacity issue for our remote learning program. While we are not currently at full capacity, we want to ensure that we have enough spaces to include any new students who have COVID-19 related medical reasons to shift to remote learning.
- Medical Reasons: For the next few weeks, only students who will be out for more than six days due to a COVID-19 related medical reason (e.g. required to isolate or quarantine) will be able to move to a remote learning classroom.
- Non-Medical Reasons: If your child will be absent for an extended period of time for a non-medical reason, please work with your child’s teacher regarding missed content.
At the end of December, we will reassess our District's remote learning capacity and send more information at that time. Looking ahead, parents will have the ability to shift their child from hybrid to full remote or vice versa on February 1 via an enrollment form that will be sent by email in mid-December.
