GBS Athletic Camps Resume Wednesday Following COVID-19 Closure

GLENVIEW, IL — Athletic camps at Glenbrook South High School will start again Wednesday after being closed for two days following a student-athlete testing positive for COVID-19. According to school officials, additional contact tracing has been conducted over the last 48 hours to help determine who may have been potentially exposed.

Students and staff directly exposed have been contacted, told to remain off campus, and encouraged to quarantine, according to Glenbrook School District 225. Athletic camps at Glenbrook North also got underway Tuesday.

"Parent input, along with our contact tracing findings, have provided us enough information that we feel we are able to begin athletic camps," the district said in an email to parents.

The district is asking families who would prefer not to send their student to athletic camps to contact the district office for a full refund. School officials also asked participants to review the following parameters for attending camp:

• Participants who are attending camp should complete the daily health questionnaire prior to arriving at camp each day. Coaches will confirm this submission upon arrival and if it is not complete, the student will complete the questionnaire on-site prior to the start of camp.
• Any individual who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 must not come to campus for any reason for 10 days from the date of the positive test, even if the individual does not have symptoms AND after 3 days of being fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication.
• Any individual who has been in close contact with a person who has been diagnosed with COVD-19 must not come to campus for any reason for 14 days from the date of possible exposure, regardless of test result or symptom presentation. The individual should also contact their doctor for further guidance. This is per Cook County Department of Public Health directives.
• Any individual who is experiencing COVID-like symptoms must not come to campus for any reason and should contact their doctor for further guidance.
