Q. What mitigation measures will be in place in the schools?
- Maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance between students within classrooms when possible.
- In some instances, cohorting may be implemented to limit the number of students, teachers, and staff who come into contact with one another, especially in instances when it’s difficult to maintain physical distancing, such as among young children. This mitigation strategy is in accordance with IDPH’s latest guidance for public schools.
- Additional strategies include ventilation, handwashing, and respiratory etiquette, staying home when sick and getting tested, and cleaning and disinfection.
- Turning in daily symptom screening forms will no longer be required. However, staff and families are encouraged to monitor their symptoms daily based on the current guidance from the CDC and to stay home when they, or anyone in their home, is sick until they can verify that it is not a COVID-related illness.

Additional specific information will be shared by your child’s school.
Q. Will an online-only option be offered?
Based on guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education, all schools must resume fully in-person learning for all student attendance days. Therefore, an online-only learning option or hybrid learning model is not being extended for the 2021-22 school year.

Anyone, including visitors, who have symptoms of infectious illness, such as flu or COVID-19, should stay home and seek testing.
