We have updated the Return to School flowchart to reflect the latest changes from ISBE guidance. Things to note:
1. If a student is symptomatic, they need a doctor's note with an alternative diagnosis to return to school before the 10-day minimum.
2. Contact Tracing: Only those in close contact (within 6 ft for 15 minutes or more) with a COVID-19 positive case need to quarantine.
Please use your best judgment when deciding whether or not to send your child each day. Remember, there is no attendance policy, so if you believe it is in the best interest of your student or those in the school community, please keep your child home.

Elementary students can bring school supplies over the span of next week so they don't have to haul it all in the first day. Please be sure your student(s) have a cloth face covering (no bandanas or gaitor masks). We look forward to having everyone return to school on Monday!
Please watch the following procedure videos with your students if they are returning face-to-face on Monday!

According to recent science & studies, gaiter style & bandana style facemasks are listed as ineffective face coverings. As a result of this new information, this type of face covering will not be allowed at school. As mentioned above, these studies are new & we wanted to share this information with you prior to Monday. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
All junior high and high school students should make sure to check their schedules on TeacherEase and follow that on Monday. This is the most up-to-date schedule. This will help us to avoid confusion about where you should be going. Thank you!
If your child opts to receive school breakfast and/or lunch, they will receive a grab and go bag. A weekly menu will be posted on TeacherEase. We will only be posting them weekly due to supply/demand issues. Please check the menu daily as it is subject to change. If you have any questions, please contact Julie by email jstorm@rowva.k12.il.us or by calling the District Office (309) 483-3711.
ATTN Parents of bus riders: We are requiring that a parent be present when students are pick up in the morning.

To the ROWVA CUSD 208 Community
Since April, the administration and Future Ready team have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming school year. Although this is the case, there are still a few items that are not in place that I feel are vital to opening safely. In order to give these items time to arrive, we will be utilizing two more of our allotted remote learning preparation days to start the school year. These will count as attendance days, so we will not be making them up at the end of the year. Our first day of student attendance will now be Monday, August 24th.
I apologize for the inconvenience this causes everyone, but I want to make sure that all of our safety precautions are in place before we bring our students back into the building. If you have any questions, please contact the district office 309-483-3711 with concerns.
Sincerely,
Superintendent Sornberger
