Nurse's Office Weekly Update 10/22/2021
Dear Wildcat Parents/Guardians:
D94 has 3 positive cases this week. If you have any questions, please contact the Health Office.
Guidelines have recently changed and we CAN accept a rapid, antigen or a RT-PCR for your student to return to school.
|

Those who are fully vaccinated will not be excluded if they are a close contact. Parents will be notified that they were a close contact and that they should monitor for symptoms and the DuPage County Health Department strongly recommends getting tested 3-5 days after exposure.
If your student has any COVID-like symptoms, they can only return to school if they have a negative COVID test or stay home for 10 days. We can no longer accept a differential diagnosis for COVID-like symptoms. For example, if a student has a sore throat and is diagnosed with strep, they would still need a negative COVID test to return to school prior to 10 days.
If your student has a negative COVID test but had vomiting or diarrhea, they must stay home for 48 hours from the last time they threw up or had diarrhea.
Please do not send your student to school if they have any of the following symptoms:
Fever (100.4 or higher), new onset of moderate to severe headache, shortness of breath, new cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, new loss of taste or smell, fatigue from unknown cause, muscle or body aches from unknown cause.
We need everyone's help to keep all our Wildcat Staff and Students safe and healthy.
If you have any questions about whether or not your student should be attending school, please contact the Health Office:
630-876-6245 Nurse Page
630-876-6246 Nurse Cathy
630-876-6469 (Mrs. Mendoza Spanish).

Legend has it a hex was cast on the woods of West Chicago decades ago leaving behind a great paranormal intrigue for the area. No one has set foot in the woods since 2009 when access to the forest became restricted following the disappearance of several individuals.
The District recently reopened access to the forest to the public and rumor has it that local residents have already begun to hear disembodied screams as well as muffled sobbing and eerie carousel music ringing ominously into the night.
Locals claim there is a hex surrounding the haunted woods, often referred to as the “Curse of the Spooky Trail.” This urban legend has been passed down from generation to generation within the West Chicago community. Has the curse awakened once again?
*Information gathered from thrilled West Chicago Park District staff members looking forward to the resurrection of this Community staple. The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this press release are fictitious.
