Remote Learning Parent Expectations:
· Check calendar nightly and talk about the exciting things to come
· Gather classroom materials together
· Remind them to pay attention to the teacher, stay in their seat and use their manners
· Encourage them that they are going to learn new things, make new friends and have fun!
Teacher Expectations:
1. Teachers will be prepared to deliver remote learning through online instructions starting day one of the 2020-21 school year.
2. Teachers will respond to parent and student emails within 24-48 hours during normal business hours.
3. Teachers will begin the school year introducing themselves and sharing information with students and parents through an introductory zoom and in-person supply pick up.
Option 2: In-Person Learning
Please note that the
class start and end times may change slightly. We are working with 102 to
determine the best time to start and end to accommodate families with
school-age children.
Should we
transition to a full remote learning environment, students would continue with
their current teachers.

In-Person Classroom Setting and Safety Protocol
Parent Expectations
Preparing for When a Student or Staff Member
Becomes Sick
We will
continuously communicate to families and staff that any individual who tests
positive for COVID-19, or who shows any signs or symptoms of illness, must stay
home.
Families and
staff should report confirmed cases to the park district to initiate contact
tracing. Currently known symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, shortness of
breath or difficulty breathing, chills, unexplained fatigue, muscle and body
aches, unexplained headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell,
congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Attendance personnel will
request specific symptom reporting when absences are reported, along with
COVID-19 diagnoses and COVID-19 exposure. Information will be documented and
shared with the administrative staff or other appropriate personnel and the
local health department. In accordance with state and federal guidance, school
community members who are sick should not return to school until they have met
the criteria to return.
The Community
Park District will use a symptom checklist for families and staff to determine
if they are well enough to attend that day. CDC and IDPH guidelines for
students who were suspected of having COVID-19, whether they were tested or
not, state that 72 hours must elapse from the resolution of fever without fever
reducing medication and 10 days must pass after symptoms first appeared.
It is
recommended that medically fragile and immunocompromised students consult their
medical provider prior to attending school. Staff returning from illness
related to COVID-19 must call to check in with Human Resources following
quarantine. Students returning from illness related to COVID-19 must call to
check in with the Community Park District following quarantine.
Any individual within the school environment who shows symptoms will be immediately separated from the rest of the school population. Individuals who are sick will be sent home. Students will never be left alone and will always be supervised while maintaining necessary precautions.
Preparing for When a Student or Staff Member
Becomes Sick
When interacting
with students or staff who may be sick, district staff and personnel will
follow CDC guidance on standard and transmission-based precautions, including:
● Closing off
any areas of the school used by a sick person and do not use these areas until
after proper cleaning and disinfection procedures have been completed.
● Clean and
disinfect all areas, such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, shared electronic
equipment, etc., used by the person who is sick. (Cleaning products will be
stored and used a safe distance away from children and staff).
Individuals who
did not have close contact with the person who is sick can return to work
immediately after disinfection. Those who had contact with someone who tested
positive for COVID-19 or is suspected of having COVID-19 infection should
isolate at home and monitor symptoms for 14 days.
Close
contact means the
individual was within six feet of the individual with symptoms for more than 15
minutes. Additional cleaning and disinfection is not necessary if more than
seven days have elapsed since the person who is sick visited or used the facility.
The District will also continue routine cleaning and disinfection. This
includes everyday practices that we normally use to maintain a healthy
environment.
If a student or
staff member tests positive for COVID-19, we will work with IDPH and Cook
County Health Department to determine next steps. We will follow IDPH and Cook
County Health Department guidance as it pertains to quarantines, contact
tracing, and testing.
Current guidance for a confirmed case of COVID-19 in a student or staff member recommends that staff and the guardians of all students sharing a classroom with that student be notified and all such students and staff convert to a remote-learning format for a period of at least 2 weeks (14 days). The District will reach out to impacted guardians and staff to assist them in accessing testing options available to them.
