                                  SEPTEMBER'S NOTE FROM THE NURSE

Hello families, 

I want to use this opportunity to provide some information and reminders related to the health and safety of our student population. DuPage County is still experiencing a “HIGH” level of COVID-19 transmission. Of the eligible members in our county, 40% remain unvaccinated. It is estimated that 20-40% of people in our county who are positive for COVID-19 remain asymptomatic, and do not know they are spreading the virus. The Medinah School District is proud to be successfully supporting in-person instruction despite these circumstances. We know that school is the best place for students to learn. We also know that proper adherence to mask guidelines and physical distancing are absolutely preventing the spread of germs in our buildings. Our students are doing an amazing job!

Some important reminders: 
  •  If a student has COVID-like symptoms, it must be reported to the school. 
  • If a student has been tested for COVID-19, they cannot attend school until the negative result is obtained and shared with the nurse. Students with pending results must stay home. 
  • If a student stays home due to COVID-like symptoms, all siblings/ unvaccinated members of that household must remain home as well. 
  • Masks must meet Medinah School District guidelines, as outlined in our Health and Safety Guidelines. Any masks that are deemed insufficient will be sent home with a note. 
    ​
The goal of the health office is to keep all students in our care safe, and we take that job very seriously. We sincerely appreciate your partnership. Please continue to check this dashboard for updates and guidelines related to COVID-19.  
Please note:

The school health office must track all cases of COVID-19 in our student population, as well as any close contacts. If your child tests positive for COVID-19, or has been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, please send an email to Nurse Molly right away!
