Coronavirus Updates and Resources
While Hawthorn School District 73 buildings are currently closed, we have implemented a Remote Learning Plan for students. The closure will continue through the end of the school year. Student, staff and stakeholder health, safety and well-being are our highest priorities. We continue to monitor the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) very closely, and are committed to providing regular updates to the community. We are following guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health, Lake County Health Department and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Below are links to updates and resources from District 73 and public health officials. We will update this page regularly, as new information becomes available.
