September 2020 

Dear Parents,

We are off and running and I want to thank you for your support, understanding and patience as we have navigated these uncharted waters. We have been asked many questions over the last month or so and that is a good thing – it helps us be more thorough in our planning.

After visiting the schools several times over the last few weeks, I couldn’t be happier with what I’ve been observing. The schools have good plans for student movement and distancing, and the students are very cooperative. 

We would not have had a smooth start without the support and cooperation of many individuals and groups. I thank our Board of Education, our Parent Advisory Committees, the Medinah Education Association, our Teacher Transition Committee, our Parent Teacher Organization and dozens of individuals for the input, hard work, good ideas and questions.

As a reminder, always keep your student at home if they are ill for any reason.  If you have any questions, please contact your school health office or your medical professional.  Please continue to reinforce the use of face masks, social distancing and hand washing at home. 

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing cooperation with our COVID-19 prevention policies and procedures as we work together to keep our students, staff and families safe and healthy.

Sincerely and respectfully,
