HELP!
Library Cards
The Christian County Library wants to help open up the world of reading for your child. A library card gives you access to not only books, DVDs, and audiobooks, but to a great deal of online resources as well. With your library card, you can instantly borrow free digital movies, music, eBooks and audiobooks. There are numerous research tools and online courses as well.
Here’s the great news – All of our students can sign up for a library card for free, even if you don’t live in Christian County! Every person in your house is eligible – just fill out an application for each family member. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students and their families!
Between now and November 5th, the Christian County Library is holding a card drive. The school with the highest percentage of new library card applications will receive a gift of $200 for their school library. The applications will be processed, the library cards will be delivered to our school, and then I will distribute them.
The link and the directions are posted below. Sign up today!

Thank you to those who have donated water bottles to each office. We provide those to students who forget.

What if my child is quarantined?
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS QUARANTINED?
In the event that your child becomes quarantined, I want to assure you that we will do everything we can to make sure your child's education is not disrupted. Below are a few procedures we have put in place to help make this time a smooth transition. Communication between school and home is pivotal in order for your child to be successful with distance learning.
- Be sure to communicate via email or Seesaw with your child's teacher. They will provide distance learning platforms and schedule to deliver instruction.
- Please make sure you have the Google Classroom link and sign in information. Your teacher can provide this information to you.
- Students without internet access may be provided with hard copies of assignments when possible. Instructional videos may be downloaded to your device by access Clever's internet outside of the school. You may then watch the instructional videos from home.
