It is hard to believe that in just three short weeks, we will return for another school year. Attached you will find information about some changes with COVID protocols for the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The CDC released information on July 9, and the IL Department of Public Health fully adopted those guidelines. The focus is on layered mitigations for student and staff safety with local data and information being used to remove or add layers of mitigation. The attached document details the mitigations which will be in place to begin the school year. As the year progresses, we will be continually reviewing local data to ensure that all students and staff can remain safe throughout the school year. By all means, if you have questions about any aspects of this feel free to call 732-8242 or email sgordon@blufordschools.org.
Let's make it a great one,
