From the Nurse
The State of Illinois School Health Law requires that children in Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grades have a dental examination on file no later than May 15th of the current school year. A dental examination completed within 18 months prior to May 15th of the current school year is acceptable. If you have not done so, please turn a copy of this exam in to your school nurse. Thank you!
Game Time!
You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Google Meet
Staff and students will be receiving training on Google meet during the month of January. As of January 31st, Antioch CCSD 34 will not be using Zoom for any quarantine students or e-learning days.
Quarantined Students
All quarantined students will have the Zoom app pushed out to their iPad once they are identified by each building nurse. Please be patient with this process, as it may take up to 24 hours for this app to get sent to the student’s iPads. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
