Return to School Update and Proof of Vaccination Record Information
Dear District 86 Community,
During the board of education meeting on July 22, Superintendent Tammy Prentiss provided an update on our return to school plan for the 2021-22 school year. You can access that update by visiting https://bit.ly/3isPobj and a link to the message can also be found on our District 86 Website, under the news section HERE.
In addition to sharing this update, Hinsdale Central wants to strongly encourage you to please provide us with your child’s proof of vaccination as soon as possible. Having access to this information will enable us to:
- Finalize our plans for the fall.
- Adjust or modify our plans should there be updates to the guidance for schools or changes in the transmission level for the community.
- Streamline the contact tracing process and make it easier to identify those who will need to quarantine should we experience a positive case. According to the guidance from the CDC and IDPH, students and staff who are fully vaccinated will not need to quarantine if they are a close contact unless they develop symptoms of COVID-19.
If you took part in the vaccination clinics we hosted during the last several months, you should receive an email from Jewel-Osco about how you can download a free digital vaccine record. You can see what that email looks like by visiting https://bit.ly/3hZdImc. If you received the vaccine elsewhere, you can give us a copy of your vaccination card or any other official vaccination record provided by your healthcare provider.
Below is the email address you can use to send your child’s vaccination record to the nurse.
If you are using an iPhone to send a picture of the vaccination card, please change the image format from HEIC (High Efficiency) to Most Compatible. The HEIC format does not work on a PC and our health office will be unable to view the data.
Please note that if we do not receive information for a student, we will operate under the assumption that they have not been vaccinated.
