Letters from the Principal

January 30th, 2021

1/30/2021

 
Dear Durkin Park Community, 

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is committed to keeping families and staff informed of the most current developments regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). A person who was in our school building tested positive for COVID-19. We are sending this notification for your awareness, and you do not need to take any further action at this time. 

The affected pod will be asked to stay at home and switch to online learning until further notice. All other activities can continue. The relevant areas of our school will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

As a reminder, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 as a school community by social distancing whenever possible, wearing masks in public, washing our hands thoroughly, and avoiding close contact with people who are sick. 

If you have any questions about COVID-19, please review our FAQ here. For district updates and resources, visit cps.edu/reopening2020. If you need help locating medical care or have any CPS-specific questions, please reach out to the CPS Command Center at familyservices@cps.edu or 773-553-KIDS (5437), which is staffed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I am here to support you as we move forward together as one healthy, supportive, and engaged school family. 

Sincerely,
Daniel Redmond 
Principal


​Estimado comunidad de la Escuela Durkin Park:

 
Las Escuelas Públicas de Chicago (CPS) se comprometen a mantener a las familias y al personal informados de los acontecimientos más actuales sobre la enfermedad del Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Una persona que se encontraba en el edificio dio positivo por COVID-19.

Se le pedirá al equipo afectado quedarse en casa y cambiar a aprendizaje en línea hasta nuevo aviso. Todas las otras actividades pueden continuar. Las áreas relevantes de nuestra escuela serán limpiadas y desinfectadas de manera exhaustiva.
 
Para recordarle, como comunidad escolar podemos reducir la propagación del COVID-19, manteniendo el distanciamiento social cuando sea posible, usando mascarillas en lugares públicos, lavándonos las manos de manera exhaustiva y evitando el contacto cercano con personas enfermas.
