This is to inform you that one individual has tested positive for COVID-19 at Pecatonica High School and Pecatonica Elementary School. The individuals are currently in isolation at home. The individuals are not scheduled to return to school until cleared by the Winnebago County Health Department to do so. The school is currently working with the Winnebago County Health Department to identify those in close contact with these individuals. Close contact is defined by the Center for Disease Control as someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic clients, 2 days prior to positive specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated. Based on the health department’s contact investigation, anyone identified to have been in close contact will also quarantine at home. If additional close contacts are identified as part of the investigation, the health department will reach out and provide appropriate guidance. We continue to work proactively to keep students and staff safe by following Winnebago County Health Department, Illinois Department of Public Health, and Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We encourage everyone to practice social distancing, wear a face covering when in public, frequently wash hands and hard surfaces, and stay home if they are ill or experiencing any COVID symptoms. The health and safety of our students and staff is our highest priority.

Here are pictures of 6th grade students holding their Christmas Around the World boxes. Students chose a country and research how that country celebrates Christmas. They had to find out about traditions, food and drink, and other fun facts. They also completed the box, bow, and tag that had the country's information on it. Then each student presented their box to the class.
