Census - Complete on-line by April 20th!
Dear Parents and Community Members,
If you have not done so already, we would like to encourage you to complete your 2020 Census online at www.my2020census.gov or by phone at 1-844-330-2020.
You must have your Census ID, which was mailed to each household by the U.S. Census Bureau. If you prefer to complete a paper Census, they will be mailed out by mid-April to those who have not yet responded.
The 2020 Census aims to count every individual in the United States, and that includes children. The data collected impacts many aspects of your community, including programs and services that are critical for schools, students, and younger children, such as:
Please complete your 2020 Census and help make sure EAWR continues to receive adequate federal funding that will help our students grow and thrive.
Remember that if you are filling out the census for your home, you should count everyone who is living there as of April 1, 2020. That includes anyone who is living and sleeping there most of the time — that could include grandchildren, nieces, nephews and the children of friends.
Thank you for your support of our students. - John Pearson |
Superintendent's Special Message - Happy April Fools Day!
We wish our students and staff well and wish you were back |
Remote Learning to Continue Through April 30th
Dear Parents and Community Members: I hope this message finds you and your families safe and well. Today, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that remote learning in Illinois will be extended through April 30 in order to slow down the spread of COVID-19. During this time, on-site learning will remain suspended but EAWR's commitment to learning and education will remain open and learning will continue for all students. While it is not ideal, we want to assure you that at EAWR, our teachers and staff are fully engaged and willing to take on this new challenge and continue to push forward with remote learning, engaging with students and continuing with our food distribution program. I know this is not the school year that any of us imagined, but I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have dealt with this unprecedented situation together. It’s important we continue to work together and support our students. Thanks again. Sincerely, Dr. John Pearson, EAWR #14 Superintendent |

Coronavirus Letter to Parents and Students
February 28, 2020
RE: Coronavirus Precautions
Dear EAWR Students, Staff and Families,
The health and safety of our students is our top priority, so we want to share with you information that the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has published for schools throughout the state. The good news at this time is that the health risk to the general public from coronavirus remains low. Currently, the IDPH recommends schools hold classes and events as usual and follow routine cleaning and disinfecting procedures; no special measures are necessary.
The IDPH also recommends the best way to protect against coronavirus is by taking the same everyday precautions against getting sick in general. These include: · Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. · Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. · Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. · Staying home when you are sick. · Covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw it in the trash. · Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces.
To see the complete recommendations to schools from IDPH, please click here. We will continue to closely monitor recommendations regarding coronavirus and will update you as soon as there are any significant changes in recommendations for schools. Thank you for your support in helping to keep our school community healthy.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Pearson, District Superintendent |
