District Reminders
DISTRICT 203 MASK POLICY
As a reminder, all students and visitors must wear a face mask upon entering the building. Thank you for your adherence to this policy.
The district is now allowing the acceptance of NAAT tests in addition to RT-PCR tests. The district does not allow the results of at-home test kits or rapid tests.
CLEARING STUDENTS TO RETURN TO SCHOOL
Please remember that any student placed in quarantine may not return to school until cleared by the School Nurse. COVID test results and alternative diagnosis letters are cleared as quickly as possible every morning. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
ATTENDANCE LINE
District 203 asks that all parents call their school’s attendance line to report absences. While it is okay to also notify your child’s teacher of the absence, we still need you to call the attendance line, as your child’s teacher could have a substitute or there could be a substitute in the health office. The attendance line is available to take messages 24 hours a day / 7 days per week and is the same number as the health office. Please call 630-420-6350 to report absences.
Please contact Megan Pagnucci at prairieschoolvp@gmail.com with any questions about or submissions to the WAAG. Deadline for submissions are Wednesdays by noon, for posting in the following week's WAAG.
