Contact Tracing

  • Expectations for contact tracing steps are for after having a known exposure to a confirmed COVID case. The expectations for students include communication with the 911ÖÆÆ·³§ Nurses’ Office. 

    Do not come to school any time you are ill or have new or different symptoms, including but not limited to: fever, sore throat, loss of sense of smell, muscle or body aches, new cough, vomiting, or diarrhea.

    Guidelines are in accordance with CDC and IDPH, and 911ÖÆÆ·³§ is in collaboration with the Evanston Health Department (EHD). The CDC issued updated school-specific guidance on January 6, 2022 (and . IDPH issued on January 11, 2022.

    EHD makes all final determinations on quarantines. If you have been identified as a close contact, the 911ÖÆÆ·³§ Contact Tracer and/or Evanston Health Department will communicate directly with you regarding next steps. 

    • 911ÖÆÆ·³§ COVID Notification emails will not be sent to entire classrooms where a person has tested positive, but 911ÖÆÆ·³§ will continue to contact trace and streamline communication with students and parents/guardians regarding close contacts.
