This is a GREAT document that helps explain viruses, COVID-19, and testing differences. Please take a few minutes to read through it, it may help answer many of your questions. Mrs. Moore has done a fantastic job of working hard to enable Leland CUSD 1 to become one of the ISBE pilot districts administering the Rapid Result Antigen Tests. Over the last several weeks we have issued nearly 100 tests. One thing remains consistent: having the Physician Order on file will help reduce quarantine time for symptomatic students, staff and family members. Remember: you cannot reduce quarantine time for a POSITIVE result OR for close-contact to a positive case* Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M0zqBkAYvxMjKM1WGfarClWgKRpIRnI6PPFtm_7J8Ac/edit?usp=sharing It saves time to have the paperwork from your doctor on file ahead of time!

Happy New Year Panthers! I hope this finds you safe & healthy. There seems to be a bit of confusion with the calendar, I've had many people asking this weekend. If you are using the mobile version of our website, you are directed to the WRONG calendar. I will work with Mr. Bland and our website management company to get everything updated. Classes resume Wednesday, 1/6/21 - it will be a "B" day for our middle & high school students and the HS GREEN GROUP will be in-person. Here is the link to the most recent calendar that was amended/approved in November. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BADibbcf5aA1PqJTthhfJs1fohhFRVTAqRcy8Ksm-yw/edit?usp=sharing Reminder for those that signed up for meals this week: there will be delivery tomorrow for Mon-Wed (likely to be in afternoon). Please email if you have any questions! See you soon!
