As health information continues to evolve rapidly surrounding the spread of COVID-19, we wanted to provide our school community with an update and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions our schools and District Office are receiving.

Where can the most up to date resources and guidance on COVID-19 be found?
Centers for Disease Control
Ilinois Department of Public Health 
DuPage County Health Department
Illinois State Board of Education
U.S. Department of Education

Is the District working with partner agencies?
The District is in regular communication with the Illinois and DuPage County Health Departments as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

What can I do to prevent the spread of illness?
The CDC recommends the following preventive actions: 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if your hands are visibly dirty.
