Message from the Principal |
|
Dear DHS Staff, Students, and Families,
Special thanks to our school community for working together to adhere to the Illinois State Board of Education's Revised Public Health Guidance for Schools. As a reminder, Executive Order 2021-18 requires that all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to P-12 schools who are two years of age or older and medically able to tolerate a mask, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask while indoors. The face mask should have two or more layers to stop the spread of COVID-19 and should be worn over the nose and mouth, be secured under the chin, and should fit snugly against the sides of the face without gaps. Students may remove their masks in the designated cafeteria spaces while seated and actively eating or drinking. Masks should be replaced promptly to reduce the contact time, unmasked, with another individual. Students and staff may obtain a new, proper-fitting mask from our Deans or security staff at the entryways during the school day. Thank you again for working together to support instruction in our building this school year!
Sincerely,
Principal Kathryn Anderson

E&I Community Engagement Series |
On behalf of District 113, we are pleased to announce the E&I Community Engagement Series. At District 113, the work of equity and inclusion is strengthened when community members can be involved; the benefits of that collaboration are an enriched school setting, a thriving student body, and a brighter future for each individual. We also recognize that our school district exists in an ever-changing world and that our understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion must grow and evolve.
Let’s come together on Thursday, September 30th to listen to and work with each other as we explore these terms and our lived experiences. Our Director of Equity & Inclusion, Mirah Anti, will facilitate this event which will be held on Zoom, from 6:30-7:30 pm. If you are interested in attending, please complete this form, and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mirah Anti.
