Phase 3 During Phase 3, schools can only be in remote learning. Phase 4 During Phase 4, schools can begin in-person instruction again with health and safety protocols in place. During phase 4, families who are uncomfortable with their student returning to school due to medical concerns of their own or someone living in their home, can opt into remote learning only.
Phase 5 During Phase 5, schools can open “business as usual.” This can only occur when a vaccine has been created and distributed. During this phase, all students will be expected to return to in-person instruction. Changes to Instructional Settings In collaboration with the local health department, ISBE guidance, executive
blended or remote learning in lieu of the traditional all-in-person instructional setting should health and safety concerns arise. At any point in time based on Illinois’s status within the reopening plan, we may shift our instructional settings based on executive orders, guidance, and local situations.

Blended Learning Definition During a period of time where social distancing (6 feet recommendation) is required, students will participate in a blend of in-person and remote
guidance, classes will be divided in half with half of the students receiving remote instruction on a given day while the other half are in-person. The schedule will alternate for each group of students so that students receive equitable access to in-person instruction in a consistent manner balanced with remote instruction when in-person instruction is not possible for the entire class due to social distancing measures.

Remote Learning Definition Remote learning applies to a situation when schools are physically closed, or students are unable to attend in person instruction due to medical concerns
students completing assignments, attending lessons, and participating with classmates virtually, through platforms such as SeeSaw, Zoom, email, and

We will utilize positive reinforcement by all means necessary to promote mask usage as it applies to our habits of scholarship of respect for yourself and others, responsibility to take care of each other and the courage to do what’s right even when you don’t want to. We will talk about how real superheroes (real and fictional) wear masks to help others and how we all want to be superheroes.
