Minooka School District 201 Returns To In-Person Instruction Jan. 19

Press release from Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201:

Minooka 201 Students and Families,

All of our staff at Minooka CCSD 201 are excited to welcome back our in-person learners to our Hybrid Learning Model on January 19, 2021! As always, we appreciate the partnership and collaboration with our families and communities as we have had to adapt and adjust to the fluid health metrics we have seen this school year.

As we prepare for our students to return next week, we want to remind all of our students and families that we all need to continue to do our part to help keep in-person instruction possible in a safe learning environment. Please continue to follow the recommended health mitigations and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and schools:

• Use of Face Coverings - required while in our buildings
• Maintain Social Distancing - our classrooms and buildings have taken steps to allow for 6 ft of distance wherever possible
• Stay home if any COVID-19 symptoms exist - Parents must continue to certify that their students are symptom-free each morning before sending them to school and/or the school bus.

Later today our families should expect a communication from our Minooka 201 Health Services Staff with more detailed information about monitoring symptoms.

Finally, we would like to remind families to consider personally transporting your students whenever possible to help our buses spread out the students as much as possible. Many of our quarantine situations in the fall were because of close contacts not at school but on the school bus. All students eligible for transportation will continue to have access, but the more students that can get to and from school in smaller groups will aid our efforts going forward.

As before, we are extremely grateful for the continued efforts of everyone in our community that have helped us navigate through this school year. Our schools are ready to see our students once more. Welcome back Minooka 201!

Sincerely,

Kristopher P. Monn, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools

Minooka CCSD 201
