VIKING VIEWWEEKLY NEWS FOR February 5, 2021

reminder from the office for Hybrid students

We have the ability to remote students into the in-person environment, but this is ONLY for the following reasons and has to be approved by our nursing team first:


  • Illness of the student or household member
  • Covid-19 close contact or quarantine
  • Awaiting Covid-19 Test results

We understand this might seem like an easy solution at times, but this actually creates a substantial interruption to our teaching & learning. This option is available as a last resort to keep our students safe and learning. We understand that emergencies arise, and for those situations you can call us to find the best solution.


If you would like to switch to a full remote learning environment, please call the office and we will gladly make that change to your child's schedule.

Reminder from the Office to eLearning Students

Please remember to call your child in if they are absent, even if they are elearning at home. We need to track all sick calls for the state and our district. You can leave a message on the attendance line at (630) 279-6160 ext. 5000 or email Kbeckwith@saltcreek48.org.

A REMINDER FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE

All Illinois children in 6th grade, or any new student to the district (grades 5-8), are required by the state to provide school with proof of a dental exam by May 15, 2021. Any dental exam completed between November 2019 and May 15, 2021 will fulfill the state's requirement. If a dental exam form is not received by May 15, 2021, the school may hold the child's report card until proof of a dental examination form is received or until the school receives proof (ex: appointment card) that a dental examination will take place within 60 days after May 15, 2021.
