Dear Leland CUSD 1, Parents & Guardians, & Members of the Community,
As you may know, Illinois Governor, J. B. Pritzker held a COVID-19 press conference today where he issued new rules regarding indoor masking, educational employee vaccination and testing requirements.
The indoor masking order, statewide, begins Monday, August 30, and the requirement for educational employees to begin their COVID-19 vaccine regimen is September 5. All educational employees must get a COVID-19 vaccination or participate in weekly screening tests (or more frequently if ordered by the local health department).
We will communicate internally with our staff on the specifics of how we will verify staff vaccination status, and coordinate weekly testing as appropriate. We will also offer screening for our vaccinated employees who choose to participate.
Our consistent and continuous aim is safety, learning, and communication. We’re proud to be open, full day and full time and fully in person. Thank you for your support and understanding, and thank you for allowing us to lead and serve the educational needs for each child, every day!

Leland's Library will be open to the public every Monday that school is in session. Check out the flyer for all the information. Please contact the school with any questions.
