The District 28 COVID Dashboard will be updated daily and a link will be provided in the principal’s weekly newsletters on Friday. This dynamic webpage replaces individual letters from Dr. Hewitt that previously reported COVID positive cases to staff and families. SHIELD testing results are reported as they are received.

*Student Close Contact Quarantine data include quarantines from household, school or other contact exposure.

The positive case rates include results from the weekly SHIELD testing at school as well as independently reported cases.

A positive case indicates a student or staff member has been tested and received a positive result confirming they have the virus. As a reminder, federal and state privacy laws prohibit us from sharing more detailed information about any individual case.

Close contact

• For students in the classroom setting, contacts who were at least 3 feet away from an infected student do not require quarantine as long as both the case and the contact were consistently masked. If they were not consistently masked, then the close contacts are classroom students who were within 6 feet of the infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period.

Local health departments are the final authority on identifying close contacts. 

Vaccination Rates

All Staff fully vaccinated or in process: 95.7%

Certified Staff fully vaccinated or in process: 99.2%
