VIKING VIEW

Dear Vikings,

What an amazing week! Thank you for your patience and support as we fine tune everything. We are so proud of our students who have adjusted extremely well to all of our new procedures. It is not easy to follow so many rules, but they understand the importance and truly value our commitment to safety.

As we continue on for the next few weeks and into next school year, we need to be in this together. It is very important that our students are safe in and out of school. If they experience any symptoms, they must stay home. We understand having to get tested and/or quarantined is inconvenient, but in order for schools to stay open safely we have to take these steps. Our staff is committed to keeping students in school, but student safety is number one.

Please continue to work with us to keep our kids learning throughout this pandemic. We will get through this, and if we continue working together, we know we will find better success and will be able to keep students in-person learning.

Thank you for a great first week of full day learning. We know it takes some time for our kids to adjust, but they have all been doing really well. Go Vikings!

Sincerely,

Ms. Aulisa

All students enrolled in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th grades are required to submit a dental exam form dated between 11/15/2019 and 05/15/2021 to the school by May 15th as mandated by the State of Illinois. Salt Creek School District 48 can withhold report cards for those students not in compliance with state requirements.

Please see the attached postcard regarding dental services provided by the Dupage County Health Dept. for those families that meet the income guidelines.

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.

If your child has a serious health condition that requires emergency medication while at school, please inform your school nurse and complete the required care plan and medication permission form(s). Medications cannot and will not be administered until these forms are submitted to the health office. See forms below.

Kind regards,

D48 School Nurses
