Dear Parents/Guardians,

Ottawa Elementary will be returning to in-person learning on 1/11/2021, we ask for your continued assistance in helping us sustain ongoing in-person learning through effectively executing all necessary COVID-19 safety guidelines set in place by LaSalle County Health Department, IDPH, and the CDC.  At this time, we ask parents to contact your student(s) building nurse:

• If your student or anyone else in the household is currently having COVID symptoms or is being evaluated for COVID. Please ensure the proper documentation is provided to your student’s building nurse prior to your student returning to in-person learning. 

• If your student is currently in quarantine after being labeled a close contact with someone with COVID. We need to ensure the proper ‘release from quarantine’ letter has been issued by the LaSalle County Health Department. 

• If your student tested positive for COVID at any point over this adaptive pause time frame. 

Lastly, we would like to send out a reminder regarding student medical plans.  If your student is currently on our list to return to in-person learning and your child's medical file states that he/she may need a medical plan at school and/or require medication kept at school, please make sure all necessary medical forms are completed. Please speak with your student's building nurse about appropriate dates/times to drop off any and all necessary medications and forms.
