Latest news: This graphic summarizes most of the district’s current COVID-19 practices: https://bit.ly/3pLYm8a
Parents should take their child’s temperature each day and keep them home if their temperature is 100.4 or greater or they have COVID-19 symptoms. Students should stay home and contact the school nurse if they are positive for COVID-19, have COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19.
This brief video explains the steps CCSD 89 nurses take when there is a positive case: https://youtu.be/QAX_IfB2Ijs
Update (January 11): The CDC and the DuPage County Health Department released guidelines that reduce the quarantine and isolation time for students from 10 calendar days to five days. CCSD 89 will adopt these guidelines starting Tuesday, January 11. You can use this chart (updated January 11) to help you determine what steps to take when your student tests positive for COVID-19, is a close contact, or is experiencing symptoms.
Note: This chart supersedes all previous charts. Previous charts have been removed from the website to avoid contradictory guidance.
Parents should make decisions about next steps in collaboration with the school nurse. More info: https://bit.ly/3t7ZZ2h
