Unit 5 students made a good transition back to hybrid learning after the holiday break, according to district administrators.
Superintendent Kristen Weikle said students still had good safety habits and routines from before the layoff. We are not seeing any widespread (infections) in any of our schools. Naturally, we still have some students and or staff who might test positive. But they appear to be testing positive from outside of the school setting. That s reaffirming. And then, of course, locally our numbers have decreased, said Weikle.
Last week, there were 40 postive tests among Unit 5 students and staff. The largest number was nine at Normal Community High School. The district dashboard showed 122 newly quarantined students and staff.
