The USDA has granted free lunches/breakfasts for all students from September 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Your child's name will still appear on TeacherEase if they have eaten a meal, however, they will not be charged. Some of you may notice that your child was charged for a meal September 1st or after. We are working to correct this. Also, some of you may still receive balance notices. Please try to pay your child's balance between now and December 31, 2020. If you have any questions, please contact Julie Storm at jstorm@rowva.k12.il.us or at the District Office 309-483-3711.

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.

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!
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!
