COVID-19 Overview

      • COVID-19 Response in District 25

         

        DISTRICT 25's CURRENT LEARNING SITUATION DURING COVID-19

        The District is currently in a 5 day a week in-person, hybrid learning format. The move to this format took place on Monday, April 26, 2021.

         

        On Tuesday, June 8, the District sent home the following letter (english | spanish | polish) to address the updated mask mandate for outdoors. Based on guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health, District 25 will continue to require all individuals to wear masks in our school buildings, however, students, staff, and parents to remove their masks when they are at recess or other outdoor school activities. 

         

        Welcome to the District 25's COVID-19 hub. Here you will find the most up to date information about District 25's plans, responses, communications, metrics, the District 25 COVID-19 Dashboard, food service, tech help, and more.

         

        Please comb through this section of our site and if something is missing, please reach out to our Head of Communications and Storytelling, Adam Harris (aharris@sd25.org). 

         

         

        TECHNOLOGY & DEVICE RESOURCES

        The District's Department of Technology (Tech 25) has been working to ensure that our students and families not only have the access they need to participate in remote learning successfully, but they are also working to give our families and students the safest and most seamless experience possible.

         

        For all things Tech during this remote time, visit www.sd25.org/RemoteTech

         

        Please know that a district employee will never visit your home to retrieve a chromebook. If you need to return a chromebook or need to have one repaired, please bring the device to your child’s school. The main office and IT Department will assist you. If you are ever in doubt, you can always contact the district or child's school for information.

         

        FOOD DISTRIBUTION

        The District is continuing FREE food distribution on Wednesdays beginning September 9 at Thomas Middle School from 9:30 am - 10:30 am and 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm. For detailed information on food distribution, visit www.sd25.org/RemoteFood.
