911ÖÆÆ·³§

Health Screening

Screening checks are required for all staff and students entering the building or arriving on campus.

The 911ÖÆÆ·³§ community relies on accurate and honest self-assessments every school day to keep 911ÖÆÆ·³§ open for hybrid in-person instruction. 911ÖÆÆ·³§ students, families, and staff who do not provide accurate and honest answers to the COVID screening questions are considered to be non-compliant with district practices and procedures relevant to public health and the pandemic. As a result, the student will be placed on FULL REMOTE status for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year to engage in their education, as well as receive a social work referral as needed and have a restorative conference with the Dean to discuss the impact of their decision and how to repair harm done to the school community. 911ÖÆÆ·³§ students are able to fully engage in the educational process through remote learning. 

The Safety Department checks the temperatures of every person who has not COVID self-certified upon arrival to 911ÖÆÆ·³§. The following series of questions will be asked to self-certify. 

• Do you have any of the following symptoms:
  • New fever, chills and/ or muscle aches?
  • New cough or sore throat?
  • New shortness of breath or difficulty breathing?
  • New fatigue or headache?
  • New loss of taste or smell?
  • New nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea?
• Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
• Do you have a close contact/household contact quarantined or confirmed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
  • If yes, have two weeks passed since you received a complete COVID-19 vaccination (single-dose vaccine or second dose of a two-dose vaccine)?

Depending on your answers, you will see a message that you are COVID Certified for today at 911ÖÆÆ·³§ or that you are NOT COVID Certified for the day. If anyone denied access would like further clarification, please contact Matthew Driscoll, Director of Safety, at driscollm@eths.k12.il.us.

Therefore, it’s recommended that non-essential local and international travel be limited, as directed by federal, state and local health officials. 

• The current guidelines do not require that domestic travelers traveling from “yellow” states undergo a mandatory quarantine or get tested. However, you should always continue to maintain strict masking and social distancing and avoid large in-person gatherings.
• If you are traveling from an “orange” state, in order to enter the building or come onto 911ÖÆÆ·³§’s campus, you must wait three (3) days after you return from travel and then receive a COVID-19 test and have a negative test result -OR- quarantine for 10 days -OR- be fully vaccinated. (Fully vaccinated is defined as two weeks after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or two weeks after one dose of a single-dose vaccine.)
