You must report COVID POSITIVE cases to CPS.
Here is the self reporting link to complete:
https://chicagopsprod.service-now.com/health?id=cps_self_report
You will enter your child’s student ID number, your child’s homeroom and grade level on the reporting form .
CPS will manage a voluntary, free, school-based asymptomatic screening testing program for employees and students regardless of vaccination status. Please go to the Color website and select whether you are registering for a staff member or student. You can then search for your school name for your school’s unique sign-up link. City Wide employees should search “City Wide Employees” and use that link to register.
Organization number is your child’s student ID number.
Student ID numbers are located on your child’s report card and in Aspen.
WHY WE ARE REQUESTING VACCINATION VERIFICATION? Administration & School Nurse will use Covid-19 vaccination records to determine if your child will need to quarantine due to close contact or travel.*
TEAMS REQUIREMENT: To ensure COVID-19 cases are prevented and identified quickly, all student team members competing in person in grades 5-12 will be required to either submit proof of their COVID-19 vaccination (if they are eligible) or participate in weekly COVID-19 testing during their season. Any child who is fully vaccinated* will be exempted from the weekly COVID-19 testing requirement to participate in teams. *Students are fully vaccinated TWO WEEKS after the second dose.
Until we see the number of COVID cases in the city decrease below 5 percent, students must adhere to the mask guidelines below.
Kids will not be turned away for not having the appropriate masks, they will be provided with appropriate masks but because masks are in limited supply, we ask parents to provide proper masks for their kids.
Masks have been an important layer of protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. A few points and reminders given the changing landscape:
The goal of masks is to filter (block) droplets and particles to lower the amount of virus that a person is exposed to. Masks differ in terms of how well they filter particles/droplets. The more that the mask filters, the less you are exposed and the less you expose others.
Checklist every time you / your child puts on a mask (great to discuss these with children so they are empowered):
