To Our Cook County Community, 

Our school has had its second confirmed case of COVID-19 that has affected our student body. This case is not related to the first case. We have been in close communication with our Public Health professionals that have supported our communications and contact tracing within our staff and students in our essential student care. Along with our Public Health partners, we have and will be connecting with the families and those affected by this case. 

We are following our procedures and protocols to ensure that a minimum number of people in our school community is affected. 

As we work through this incident, please know that we will continue to work hard to continue to follow the COVID plans that include the implementation of the CDC and MDH guidelines. As a community we should be proud of our public health officials and their diligence when working through these cases with the parties involved. We, as a school, will be working with the public health team to continue to diligently evaluate and re-evaluate our procedures and protocols. Our focus is to ensure the safety of all staff, students, and the community. 

As a community please know that we need the support of all families and community members to follow the recommendations to reduce the Spread of COVID 19. Please remember to have unconditional positive regard for those whom have been tested and contact traced and this is unintentional and we must support one another in these tough situations. 

Thank you for your understanding and support, 

Megan Myers 

Principal/Acting Superintendent
