We’re thrilled to announce Delavan CUSD #703’s new app! Access documents, news updates, even emergency notifications! Download the app on Android: https://bit.ly/3tsVEDg or iPhone: https://apple.co/3up9I27.
Today, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced masks will be required for students, teachers and staff at pre-kindergarten-12th grade schools. The new measure is part of the state’s ongoing effort to combat a new surge as the Delta variant rapidly spreads.
The mask requirement is inclusive of youth sports and activities, with masks now required for all indoor extracurriculars and sports. In line with CDC guidance, masks are not required for activities outdoors.
Today’s announcement differs from the reopening plan for our school district for the 2021-2022 school year. At this time, the Administration will meet to review the new rules and will be communicating with you changes as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support of our students, and I look forward to a new school year!
DAYCARE UPDATE
With our Daycare Director hired, we are working toward our licensure for the Daycare. This process is not a quick, easy turnaround. Here are some of the details that should be known:
1. Once beginning the licensure process, there is a 90-day window to get everything complete if items are missing.
a. This doesn’t mean it takes 90 days, that is to provide time if there are issues.
b. If there are issues and you don’t get done in 90-days, you have to wait a full year to apply again. This is why we are getting everything in place to get quick approval.
2. We are currently trying to finish up a couple major items before starting the 90-day clock. Unfortunately, the issue is due to a lack of available companies to get work done this summer. This is what we are working on:
a. Stair treads to the basement (just confirmed completed this morning).
b. We need a concrete pad poured in the playground area for a hard surface for the children to ride and pull toys on- it is required.
c. We need a shaded area installed over that concrete pad for protection from sun and weather- it is required.
d. We need a fence installed around the playground area that meets DCFS requirements- it is required.
e. Radon testing report (just waiting on results).
We have a fence contractor lined up to do that work within the next week. We believe that we have finally secured a concrete contractor to perform that work within the next week. We will then have the shaded area installed and start the licensing time frame.
I will update once the playground area has been completed and the clock has started. Please be aware that we are working as quickly as possible to get the process complete and to begin hiring additional staff and enrolling children. Thank you for your understanding as we work to provide this much-needed resource for our community 😊
JH softball team store is open if you are interested. Only open until Thursday night at midnight!!
