Dear St. George School Parents and Guardians,
The end of the 2019-2020 school year is fast approaching. It is time for the distribution of belongings that your student had in his/her desk and/or locker at school and for the return of St. George School property such as Chromebooks, textbooks, library books, athletic uniforms, etc.
Please understand that there are 417 students that will be processed. Due to limited parking and to keep with social distancing guidelines as mandated by Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order and IDPH guidelines, the following dates and time frames have been established to return school property and to pick up items that belong to your student(s):
| MONDAY, MAY 11 | TUESDAY, MAY 12 | WEDNESDAY, MAY 13 | THURSDAY, MAY 14 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| C - D | 12 Noon - 3 p.m. | I - K | 12 Noon - 3 p.m. | P - R | 12 Noon - 3 p.m. | U - Z | 12 Noon - 3 p.m. |
Note: If you have students in your family with different last names, you will be able to return and pick up items for all of your children at one (1) visit. Please plan to attend the date and time frame for your child with the last name beginning with the earliest letter in the alphabet.
To minimize long wait times, please take advantage of various times within the time frame that has been allotted for your student’s last name. We want to avoid everyone showing up at the beginning of each time frame. Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we promote safety and social distancing for everyone.
On Friday, May 8th, you will receive an email with a list of items that your student needs to return to St. George School. If you have more than one student, you will receive an email for each student separately. When you arrive at the school on your assigned date and time-frame, please line up in your car along the curb on the east side of the school near the athletic entrance. A St. George School staff member will check you in and give you further instructions. Please stay in your car until the St. George School staff member has checked you in and directs you where to park and when to enter the school through the gym doors. Please observe the following steps so that we can ensure the health and safety of our staff and St. George School parents/guardians.
CHECK-IN / RETURN: Once you are directed to enter the gym, you will proceed to one of the CHECK IN / RETURN tables to return the school-owned items you are returning for your student(s). The items that you are returning will be inspected and placed in a box labeled with your child’s name. Please make sure school Chromebooks are charged and turned on so that we check for functionality. This step will help you move through the process quicker.
CHECK-OUT / DISTRIBUTION: After you are finished at the CHECK-IN / RETURN table, you will then be asked to proceed to the CHECK-OUT / DISTRIBUTION table to receive all of your student’s belongings which have been placed into a new, sealed box with your child’s name on it.
A few important items to note:
- Masks must be worn by everyone at all times during this process. You must provide your own mask(s).
- A parent/guardian must be present to return school property and to pick up items that belong to their student(s).
- To help promote social distancing, we ask that only parents/guardians attend and students stay home, if possible.
- Access is limited only to the gym. There are no public restroom facilities available.
- Each RETURN and DISTRIBUTION table will be disinfected by the St. George School Staff after each family.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this process. If you have questions, please
contact the school office at (815) 933-1503.
Sincerely,
Helen Boehrnsen
Superintendent
