Greetings Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,

 

We are all very excited about the upcoming Open House this Thursday October 20, 2022. It’s been quite some time since we were able to host an event like this. We look forward to our families visiting classrooms, engaging in interactive activities, taking in the beautiful art that our Rondout artists have been working on and having a change to take a quick tour of our Rondout Nature Preserve. 


The fun begins at 6 p.m. with outdoor activities touring the Nature preserve and stopping by the fire pit at the Founders Circle for some refreshments.  Then at 6:30 p.m. the doors open for the indoor Open House. You can stop by anytime between 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. to check out your child’s classrooms and Rondout’s common learning areas. Be sure to stop by the Library Media Center to learn about the Reading Influencer’s Project which will officially kick off on October 21st. You can get a head start on participating in this exciting project during Open House.

 

Just a reminder that we are having our annual Veteran’s Day Program on November 11th this year. Thanks to those of you who have responded to our call for Veteran’s to be honored during our Assembly at 9 a.m. that Friday. Family members and friends are welcome to join us for this special Rondout tradition. Please contact me if you would like more information.

 

Hoping all our families can stop by the Open House next week.

 

Have a wonderful weekend. Take care… Be safe…Until next time

Dr. Jenny Wojcik

Superintendent

An Important Note

From Ms. Davis

Greetings Rondout Community,

  

Happy Fall! The crisp weather is reminding us all that it is time to bring out the coats and cold weather gear. As a reminder, students will be outside for recess/playtime daily, as long as weather permits. Please be sure students come to school dressed appropriately for the shift in seasons. 


There are some exciting events coming up for our Rondout Community. We look forward to seeing families at our Open House next week. While the building opens at 6:30pm, be sure to come by the Rondout Nature Preserve starting at 6:00pm for a walk in the woods and some refreshments.


We are also excited to host our first Rondout Family Run on October 29. We welcome runners (and walkers!) of all ages and abilities to join us for a 1.5 mile track around the Rondout grounds. Be sure to register your family for the event! Additional information is available below in the Flyer.


Enjoy the weekend and we look forward to another great week at Rondout.  

Best,  

Elizabeth Davis 

Principal

Rondout Coronavirus Update- Week of 10/11/22



Late this week we learned that we have one COVID positive case.  The individual will be completing their isolation/ quarantine in alignment with the revised guidelines from the Illinois Department of Public Health.  To prevent further spread of the disease, Rondout continues to take the following steps:

·     Ongoing monitoring of students and staff for signs and symptoms of illness and evaluation of reports of illness to promptly identify possible outbreaks.

·     Conducting a deep clean and disinfection of the areas impacted by potential  exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

·     Students and staff who exhibit COVID-like symptoms at school will promptly be placed in a separate supervised area away from others until they can be sent home.

·     We are continuously sanitizing high-touch surfaces including door handles, stair  rails, sink, faucets, etc. and classrooms are cleaned and sanitized nightly. Air sanitizers are also running in all classrooms and offices in the building.


We are encouraging good hand hygiene and hand sanitizer is freely available in all classrooms and common areas of the school.


We understand your concern about the identity of individuals who test positive so students or staff can assess their possibility of exposure. However, federal privacy laws prevent administration or the school district from providing any information that would otherwise lead to the identification of these individuals.

 

We will continue to keep you updated on the status of COVID cases at Rondout in the days ahead. Due to the size of our school, we ask that you assist in monitoring for symptoms and keep students who are ill at home. Those with COVID symptoms will need to provide a negative test result and be symptom free to return to school. Rapid testing and PCR testing is available through our health office with parental permission.  Close contacts will not be required to quarantine and may continue to attend school unless they become symptomatic or test positive.

 

If you have any COVID-19 questions, call the Illinois COVID-19 hotline at (800) 889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov. You may also want to consider signing up for updates from the Lake County Health Department at http://bit.ly/lccovid-19. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
