We are fortunate to continue a strong relationship with local law enforcement on many levels, much of that in an effort to be proactive with the goal that many of those measures will never be necessary, but to be prepared if they are. Deputy Brandan Hodges, our School Resource Office, led local police and a SWAT team through the Jr./Sr. High after school hours today.
There were no issues and this was a pre-scheduled visit for them to practice. The visit also gave those officers the opportunity to learn our building, the hallways, entries and exits. . We are very fortunate for the close working relationships we have and how they value our students. Thank you!
We are pleased to officially announce we have a new Jr./Sr. High Principal starting September 29th! Mrs. Jennifer Hess will be joining our Comet Team and we are fortunate to have her. Please see this link for a letter coming home with Jr./Sr. High students today: https://5il.co/zdjg

Welcome to our School Nurse, Mrs. Korin Weber, who is pictured with her first patient, 6th grader, Bentley Longton. Mrs. Weber met Bentley minutes after officially reporting for duty. She's met a few more students since then and has talked to a few parents.

Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 3rd or Monday, Sept. 6th due to the Labor Day Holiday. Have a fun, warm and safe holiday weekend. See you on Tuesday, Sept. 7th!
Just a friendly reminder that today, Wed., Sept. 1st, starts our Early Release Wednesdays which occur every Wednesday unless there is a half day. Early Release at the Elementary is at 2 pm and at the Jr./Srn High at 1:50 pm. Teachers and staff continue with professional development and work from 2-3:30 on those days to continue to improve instruction and delivery of services to our students.
Welcome to Alexandria Infante, new First Grade Teacher, who will be starting today with students in one of our classroom. We are excited to bring Ms. Infante on board as she was highly regarded by teachers she has worked with in the past, has a strong understanding of high quality instruction and a very positive demeanor in engaging students. Please help us make her feel welcomed!
