Cicero District 99 is excited to share our plan to return to full-time, in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year. We will continue to meet and adhere to all CDC and IDPH protocols to ensure the health, safety and well-being of students and staff.

In addition, we will offer a variety of opportunities for our students to receive academic, social and emotional support during the school day, as well as during extracurriculars. We are encouraged by the number of students that have returned to our schools safely this spring, and are reassured by the quantity of staff that have completed the vaccination process. Transmission among our vaccinated adults has drastically diminished, and we expect the same result among those students who are now eligible for the vaccine.

Families are encouraged to look for vaccination opportunities for their children including for students as young as age 12.

We will continue to monitor State and County Health Department communications and recommended guidelines and we will provide updates to our families about any changes to our plan as it becomes available. We look forward to the 2021-2022 school year and a return to normalcy.

With anticipation,

Dr. Aldo Calderin

Interim Superintendent

Cicero District 99
