Adaptive Pause to be Implemented After Winter Break
Health experts expect a spike in the number of cases during the holiday season due to travel and social gatherings. We anticipate that this could cause an increase in the number of cases within the school setting as well. In order to mitigate a potential spike in cases, Lisle 202 will implement an adaptive pause and return to 100% Remote Learning for all students for 14 calendar days following the Winter Break. This 14 day period is consistent with the potential incubation period for COVID-19 and aligns with the District's current COVID-19 protocols.
- Students will return to school remotely to begin the second semester.
- The chart below shows the return to in-person learning dates after the adaptive pause by school and grade level.
Winter Break Adaptive Pause Return - Remote Learning for All
January 6th - Lisle Elementary School & Lisle Junior High School

- Please remind your child to follow the 3 Ws both inside and outside of school.
- If your child shows any symptom, please keep him/her home.
- If your child receives a positive COVID-19 test, please notify the school immediately.

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
December 14, 2020 Meeting
- The Board of Education heard updates about the In-Person/Remote Learning Plans for each school.
- The Board approved a waiver for second semester for Lisle High School parking fees.
- Dates were selected for the Student Academic Achievement Presentations.
- K-8 - January 21, 2021
- 9-12 - February 17, 2021
- The Board is committed to fiscal responsibility while ensuring a strong financial position for the District in order to support programs and services for our students. The Board is conscientious of the impact of taxes on individuals and businesses in the community as they weigh the needs of the District each year. As part of the effort to ease the school district's tax burden on residents in 2021, the Board has approved an abatement that results in little to no increase for current homeowners. This is the third consecutive year that the Board has approved a tax abatement which has resulted in nearly $2,000,000 in savings for Lisle 202 property owners.
