As vaccines become available to school-age children, if you send documentation of your child’s vaccine, according to IDPH guidelines we will not have to include fully vaccinated individuals as close contacts. Providing proof of vaccine will help your child avoid quarantine due to any close contacts during summer activities. You may email scans to lwolf@annawan226.org or dheitzler@annawan226.org or submit paper copies in either office.
Congratulations to our new Annawan School Board Members who are now all officially seated. New members include Cole Kraft, Terry DeMay, and Kari Kipp. Thank you for your commitment to the Annawan School District.
