District 19 has 5 new positive cases of COVID for a total of 7 reported for the 2021-2022 school year. The people that need to know have already been contacted. Therefore, if no one has spoken to you personally, this doesn't affect you, and there is no need for concern. All steps and protocols have been taken and are being followed. We wanted to remind you that we aim to remain transparent and informative through this process. We appreciate your continued flexibility during this time. Please be vigilant in understanding the procedure for determining when our school community must be informed of a positive COVID case. We will only notify those individuals who are considered close contacts to a positive case. It is critical that we not disclose positive cases to anyone other than those being directly impacted or at risk. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. Please be aware that individuals may be eligible for modified quarantine periods based on location, exposure times, and risk assessment. To participate in shortened quarantine, close contacts must provide appropriate negative test results prior to being permitted for in-classroom participation only. Under these circumstances, close contacts to a positive case will NOT be eligible to ride the bus or participate in any extra-curricular activities or sporting events for the full 14 days. No lunchroom exposures will be allowed to follow a modified quarantine. Although we are unable to disclose specific information regarding cases and periods of isolation and quarantine, please know that many factors must be reviewed prior to making any exclusions from school. Vaccination status, assessment of high-risk verses lower risk exposures, ability to isolate, family dynamics, and modified quarantine option eligibility are many of the considerations that are carefully reviewed with each positive case. Each positive case has a different circumstance that must be evaluated using CDC, IDPH, ISBE, and local health department guidance. We hear and understand your frustrations our goal is to keep our kids in school, and we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you or your family as well as the interruption in your child’s school year. __________________________________________________________ El Distrito 19 tiene 5 nuevos casos positivos de COVID para un total de 7 reportados para el año escolar 2021-2022. Las personas que necesitan saber ya han sido contactadas. Por lo tanto, si nadie te ha hablado personalmente, esto no te afecta y no hay necesidad de preocuparse. Todos los pasos y protocolos se han tomado y se están siguiendo. Queríamos recordarles que nuestro objetivo es seguir siendo transparentes e informativos a través de este proceso. Agradecemos su continua flexibilidad durante este tiempo. Por favor, esté atento para comprender el procedimiento para determinar cuándo nuestra comunidad escolar debe ser informada de un caso positivo de COVID. Solo notificaremos a aquellas personas que se consideren contactos cercanos de un caso positivo. Es fundamental que no divulguemos los casos positivos a nadie que no sean aquellos que se ven directamente afectados o en riesgo. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, comuníquese con nosotros. Tenga en cuenta que las personas pueden ser elegibles para períodos de cuarentena modificados según la ubicación, los tiempos de exposición y la evaluación de riesgos. Para participar en una cuarentena más corta, los contactos cercanos deben proporcionar los resultados negativos apropiados de las pruebas antes de que se les permita solo la participación en el aula. En estas circunstancias, los contactos cercanos a un caso positivo NO serán elegibles para viajar en autobús o participar en actividades extracurriculares o eventos deportivos durante los 14 días completos. No se permitirá que las exposiciones al comedor sigan una cuarentena modificada. Aunque no podemos divulgar información específica sobre casos y períodos de aislamiento y cuarentena, tenga en cuenta que se deben revisar muchos factores antes de hacer cualquier exclusión de la escuela. El estado de vacunación, la evaluación de las exposiciones de alto riesgo frente a las exposiciones de menor riesgo, la capacidad de aislamiento, la dinámica familiar y la elegibilidad de la opción de cuarentena modificada son muchas de las consideraciones que se revisan cuidadosamente con cada caso positivo. Cada caso positivo tiene una circunstancia diferente que debe evaluarse utilizando la guía de los CDC, IDPH, ISBE y el departamento de salud local. Escuchamos y entendemos sus frustraciones, nuestro objetivo es mantener a nuestros hijos en la escuela, y nos disculpamos por los inconvenientes que esto puede causarle a usted o a su familia, así como por la interrupción en el año escolar de su hijo.
