We are three weeks into the school year and issues around COVID have been very minimal. We have had a total of six positive cases, all from contact outside of the school. The most important part of this though is that we have had ZERO close contact exclusions as a result of that because of the mitigation measures in place. Also, we have our testing in place which has helped keep kids in school as well. Make it a great holiday weekend!
Our Trojan ohana came out to support the girls’ volleyball team. JV and Varsity both played great games winning in two.

There are a lot of questions around the Pandemic EBT cards that people have been receiving. First, these are legitimate and because we have the Community Eligibility Provision, all our students should be receiving one at some point. They appear to be arriving for families randomly. Keep in mind that this is a federal program being administered by the state and it is overwhelmed by the program. The link below takes you to an FAQ with further information. There is an 800 number to call if you have individual questions about the program. https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=137078

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,
