    MASKS

    On Friday, February 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued the following update to their mask guidance:


    Effective February 25, 2022, the CDC is exercising its enforcement discretion to not require that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/child care programs. The CDC is making this change to align with updated guidance that no longer recommends universal indoor mask wearing in K-12 schools and early education settings in areas with a low or medium COVID-19 Community Level.

     

    Our buildings are currently mask optional, including on school transportation (busses & taxis). Here is our most recent letter on masks in our buildings.

     

    Acceptable Face Covering Masks for Visitors, Staff, and Students

       

    CONTACT TRACING & EXCLUSIONS

    As of Monday, February 21, 2022, District 25 is no longer contact tracing in our buildings. COVID-19 positive cases are being excluded from our buildings for 5 days. These students will participate in the District's Academy Program. The schools will continue to notify their communities of positive cases.

     

    SOCIAL DISTANCING

    The District will implement 3-foot social distancing to the greatest extent possible.

     

    DISTRICT 25 COVID-19 DASHBOARD

    The District will continue to maintain the District 25 Dashboard and monitor internal numbers.

     

    SHIELD TESTING

    The District will continue to offer voluntary SHIELD testing. (Parents may opt-out here)
