District 19 has 2 positive cases of COVID for a total of 9 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. Per our fall reopening guide, it’s important to know that the district will not send daily emails regarding each individual positive case. The district will update positive cases on Fridays if/when new cases occur. El Distrito 19 tiene 2 casos positivos de COVID para un total de 9 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 por qué preocuparte. Se han tomado y se siguen todos los pasos y protocolos. Queríamos recordarles que nuestro objetivo es ser transparentes e informativos a través de este proceso. Agradecemos su continua flexibilidad durante este tiempo. Esté atento para comprender el procedimiento para determinar cuándo nuestra comunidad escolar debe ser informada de un caso de COVID positivo. Solo notificaremos a aquellas personas que se consideren contactos cercanos a un caso positivo. Es fundamental que no divulguemos casos positivos a nadie más que aquellos que estén directamente afectados o en riesgo. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, comuníquese con nosotros. Según nuestra guía de reapertura de otoño, es importante saber que el distrito no enviará correos electrónicos diarios con respecto a cada caso positivo individual. El distrito actualizará los casos positivos los viernes si / cuando ocurran nuevos casos.
