Dear Dimmick Families, As we near the end of the first trimester, and prepare to transition into the second trimester, I want to thank our students, staff, board of education, administration, parents and community for all they are doing to ensure the success of our school. It has been great to see our community pull together in these challenging times. Our priorities remain focused on the health and safety of all students and staff as well as providing the highest quality of education we can offer.
As we look to the start of the 2nd trimester we want to stress to all families the importance of carefully reviewing the attached 2nd trimester Pandemic Learning Plan as well as the 2nd trimester calendar. We want to thank all parents, students and staff who took the time to complete the surveys which overwhelmingly supported continuing our current plan into the 2nd trimester. We also understand that no plan will be ideal for every family however, the plan continues to include two options for parents to consider. We also need all of our families to understand that this plan is a fluid document and may change as we progress through the school and as new information comes available from ISBE, IDPH, CDC, and other sources of information and feedback. While the plan will outline many key areas, it will not address every question you have. If you have specific questions related to IDPH or LaSalle County Health Department guidelines or have COVID related questions please contact them at 815-433-3366. Any parents wishing to make a change regarding parent or bus transportation or in-person or remote learning should contact the office no later than Friday, November 6 by 3:00PM. We will assume you wish to keep your current arrangements if we do not hear from you by then.
You are encouraged to contact Mr. Linnig rlinnig@dimmick175.com or Mrs. Rossman trossman@dimmick175.com with any questions you have. We want to thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school! Sincerely, Mr. Ryan Linnig Superintendent
