Hello D88 Families & Staff,
Effective March 15th, the Illinois Department of Public Health published a revised list of COVID-Related Signs and Symptoms. When staff and students are self-certifying every morning, please check for the following symptoms: Fever (100.0Ā°F or higher), headache, shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of sense of taste or smell, fatigue from unknown cause, muscle or body aches.
Please do not send any students to school or report to work when:
Someone in your home is exhibiting one or more COVID-related symptom.
There is a confirmed positive COVID-19 case in your household.
When someone in your family has a pending COVID-19 test result.
If someone has been determined to be a close contact to an individual who has tested positive or has a pending COVID test result.
Medical Evaluation and Testing are Strongly Recommended for ALL Persons with COVID-Like Symptoms.
Show Appreciation to our Nurses
We all know the global pandemic has caused extreme stress on everyone, but it is important to show grace to our frontline workers that are making tough decisions on matters that are out of their control. Recently, our registered nurses at the school buildings have been forced to make difficult calls to staff and parents to inform them that they or their family members must quarantine and are not allowed to return to school for a specified period of time. Please know that these decisions are not made lightly and our nurses are passing along information that is provided to them by the Kendall County Health Department, with guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). Both of these entities must follow rules set forth from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Vaccinations for D88 and PASEC Employees
We are excited to report that 300 of our staff members have received the Moderna vaccination from the Kendall County Health Department and others have been vaccinated at their doctorās office or medical facility.
One year later and we are starting to round the corner--thank you for your patience and support during a very trying time. We are all in this together!

Hola Familias y Personal de D88,
A partir del 15 de marzo, el Departamento de Salud PĆŗblica de Illinois publicĆ³ una lista revisada de signos y sĆntomas relacionados con COVID. Cuando el personal y los estudiantes se auto certifiquen todas las maƱanas, verifique los siguientes sĆntomas: fiebre (100.0 Ā° F o mĆ”s), dolor de cabeza, dificultad para respirar, tos, dolor de garganta, vĆ³mitos, diarrea, pĆ©rdida del sentido del gusto u olfato, fatiga de causa desconocida, dolores musculares o corporales.
No EnvĆe A NingĆŗn Estudiante A La Escuela Ni Se Presente A Trabajar Cuando:
Alguien en su hogar presenta uno o mĆ”s sĆntomas relacionados con COVID.
Hay un caso COVID-19 positivo confirmado en su hogar.
Cuando alguien en su familia tiene un resultado de prueba COVID-19 pendiente.
Si se ha determinado que alguien es un contacto cercano con una persona que ha dado positivo o tiene un resultado de prueba COVID pendiente.
Se recomienda encarecidamente realizar evaluaciones y pruebas mĆ©dicas para TODAS las personas con sĆntomas similares al COVID.
Muestre Agradecimiento A Nuestras Enfermeras
Todos sabemos que la pandemia mundial ha causado un estrĆ©s extremo en todos, pero es importante mostrar agradecimiento a nuestros trabajadores de primera lĆnea que estĆ”n tomando decisiones difĆciles sobre asuntos que estĆ”n fuera de su control. Recientemente, nuestras enfermeras registradas en los edificios escolares se han visto obligadas a realizar llamadas difĆciles al personal y a los padres para informarles que ellos o sus familiares deben estar en cuarentena y no se les permite regresar a la escuela durante un perĆodo de tiempo especĆfico. Tenga en cuenta que estas decisiones no se toman a la ligera y nuestras enfermeras estĆ”n transmitiendo informaciĆ³n que les proporciona el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Kendall, con la orientaciĆ³n del Departamento de Salud PĆŗblica de Illinois (IDPH). Ambas entidades deben seguir las reglas establecidas por los Centros para el Control y la PrevenciĆ³n de Enfermedades (CDC) federales.
