5Essentials Parent Survey: The parent survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is available in English and Spanish. To take the survey, visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/. One survey per child can be submitted per family. The survey window will be open until March 11, 2022.

SENIOR Scholarships!
Searching for scholarships during your last year of high school may feel like a full-time job — and high school seniors don’t exactly have much free time. The good news? There are many kinds of opportunities out there and it is FREE money!

D19 Board of Education Meeting
February is CTE Month and we would like to highlight some of our students in Career Technical Education!
"I choose to take Emergency Medical Sevices at LCTC because I want to further my career in being a firefighter/paramedic. This class allows for more hands-on learning and being put in realistic situations you may see once you go out into the field. I really do love the environment, and meeting new people with the same goals. You work very closely with your peers to overall prepare you for the real world if you decide to go down this career path." ---Emergency Medical Sevices student, Sandra Valdez
District 19 Community,
Late Friday night, the CDC changed its order, and the CDC will no longer require face masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems. Effective Monday, February 28, face masks will be optional on all D19 school buses. The masking change aligns with the updated guidance released Friday afternoon that no longer recommends universal indoor masking in K-12 schools in areas with a low or medium COVID-19 community level. McHenry County currently falls in the low community level range, which does not contain a recommendation on masking.
Additionally, late Friday afternoon, the Illinois Supreme Court declined to rule on the merits of the appeal (i.e., whether the Governor had the authority to issue the Executive Orders). However, the Supreme Court did exercise its authority to vacate the temporary restraining order (TRO). A vacated order undoes or makes the previous ruling/judgment legally void. Shortly after the Supreme Court’s order, the Governor announced that in light of the revised CDC guidelines, the Illinois school mask mandate will be lifted effective Monday, February 28, 2022.
Thank you for your support and understanding during all of these COVID 19 mitigation changes.
