Dear Ottawa Elementary Families,

 

Governor Pritzker has directed all PreK – 12 schools in Illinois to require masks indoors. This is required of everyone, including those who are vaccinated. The requirement is effective immediately and must be adhered to by all districts in the state.

 

The Board of Education was planning to hold a special meeting to discuss masks. Due to this mandate, there will not be a special meeting.  

 

We will keep our families informed as more information is provided. We anticipate that there could be more updates in the weeks to come and encourage everyone to check our website and Facebook page.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cleve Threadgill

ESSER III-American Rescue Plan

Use of Funds Plan



Administrators are planning for the upcoming school year. We’re following both state and local guidance to
prepare in-person instruction for all students in the upcoming school year. In-person instruction and having a face-to-face, direct connection with our students is what’s preferred for academic progress and social emotional support. All families, from Early Childhood through eighth grade should plan for in-person instruction when school starts in August.

We will continue to share information about health and safety guidelines for the 2021-22 school year in the coming weeks and months. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
