COVID-19 Testing Sites
Madison County Families, We need your help! The Madison County Health Department arranges testing sites throughout our county most days of the week. The additional testing sites allow easy access for residents to determine if varied symptoms are COVID-19 related and isolate individuals to help mitigate the spread of the virus. The location of the “pop-up” testing sites can be found daily on the Madison County Health Department website https://www.co.madison.il.us/departments/health/index.php. In addition, the Jackie Joyner Kersee Center provides testing 7 days a week. Appointments are not necessary and there is no cost associated with testing. In order to continue meeting students’ academic and social emotional needs, we urge our families and residents to get tested if you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19. This will ensure individuals who test positive for COVID-19 are isolated and reduce the spread of the virus in our communities. Educating students, while navigating a pandemic, has been challenging and identifying positive COVID-19 cases helps ensure our school districts do not contribute to the spread of the virus. We realize this is not an easy time for families, educators, and students. However, we must work together to ensure our students are able to continue attending school in various forms and/or return to In-person learning in the days ahead. We appreciate your assistance in our efforts to educate children and combat the spread of COVID-19. Sincerely, Dr. Pearson, Supt. |

Last Call to Complete the 2020 Census - It's Easy!
 Dear EAWR Parents and Families, You may have heard the 2020 Census deadline is approaching and how important it is for everyone to be counted. The census represents an opportunity for everyone in our community to proudly and loudly say, “I’m here. I count. I matter.” The census impacts our day-to-day lives in tremendous ways. It determines how much federal funding we have to fix our roads, feed our community, and teach our children. Missing just one child means we miss out on funds for their education for the next ten years. The census also determines how many representatives Illinois has in Congress and the Electoral College. So much is at stake, which is why we need you to take the 2020 Census before the September 30, 2020 deadline. There are three ways to take the census: · Online: Visit my2020census.gov and fill out the Census now on your computer, tablet, or smart phone. · Phone: Call 844-330-2020 to fill out the Census over the phone. The US Census Bureau offers assistance in 59 non-English languages, including American Sign Language. · Mail: Fill out the Census form you received in the mail and return it, free of charge, to the US Census Bureau.
Taking the census is safe and secure. The 2020 Census does not ask about anyone’s citizenship status, and federal law prohibits the sharing of census responses with anyone, including law enforcement or immigration agencies. Learn more about census confidentiality at 2020census.gov/en/data-protection.html. You can get answers to any other questions about the Census by texting "Question" or "Pregunta" to 987987 or by visiting 2020census.gov. Taking the Census takes less than 5 minutes. If you haven’t already, please complete the 2020 Census today. Best, Dr. John Pearson, Superintendent EAWR High School District #14 |

Announcement of POSSIBLE Transition to All Remote Learning
Parents and Students: Please read the announcement (in the attached letter) of a POSSIBLE switch to all Remote Learning at EAWR. This is based on the worsening COVID-19 statistics ("metrics") that the Madison County Health Dept announces. |
Hybrid Schedule Announced
EAWR will start the 2020-21 school year with a "Hybrid Schedule." Students will attend every other school day, with remote learning opportunities on the other school days. This schedule allows EAWR to cut class sizes in half (or close to it), thereby increasing social distancing in classrooms as well as hallways and other common areas. The bell schedule remains the same. Please see the attached memo for the schedule. Any parent that has opted for 100% remote learning for their student may opt back in to in school attendance under the every other day approach. Just email cguthrie@eawr,org or jpearson@eawr.org to request that change. We ask that any parent requesting a change to the hybrid schedule do so by the first day of school, August 19th. |
