SUMMER PROGRAM 2020 DUPAGE MONTESSORI

Elementary Packet (Ages 6 to 14)

MODIFIED TO MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE RESTORE ILLINOIS

PLAN

Weekly Classes and Camps The class is a combination of weekly theme-based projects and experiments, along with work in math, language, reading, and writing on a daily basis.

The camps allow for an in-depth look into one particular subject, but can also have a small writing, math, language component.

* Each week is five days long unless there is a holiday.

•Extra precautions taken with hygiene •Sick students sent home

*Currently, the minimum time for each phase is 28 days. A health region will not progress to the next phase if it does not meet the criteria under the Restore Illinois Plan.

Who can participate in our summer program? We believe that our health region will be in Phase 3 or higher throughout the summer, which means all students 3 years or older should be able to participate.

Can I still participate if our health region is in Phase 2? It is still possible. Our school qualifies for license-exempt childcare for students from preschool to middle school. You need to be an essential worker, but the list of essential jobs is expansive enough that many parents who need childcare are eligible. However, the class size restrictions will limit enrollment. Please select on your application whether you want to participate if we are still in Phase 2.

Who is an essential worker? We have attached a list of essential workers at the end of the summer brochure. Here are some examples: doctors, nurses, lawyers, accountants, bankers, tradesmen, pharmacists, flight attendants, Uber drivers, etc..

What if I only want to participate in Phase 4? Please only sign up for activities in July or later. Under the current guidelines, the soonest we could be in Phase 4 is in July. Also, select on your application if you only want to participate at Phase 4.

Will my student need to wear a mask? We will be following all of the IDPH guidelines. Given the current guidelines available for Phase 2 or 3, all students will be encouraged to wear a mask as best as possible. We will most likely ask our students to bring their own cotton mask which can be washed at home. Students will not be sent home for being unable to wear a mask. They will be sent home if they have a fever or any systems of the COVID-19, and they can return based on their physician’s recommendation.
