Weekly Update
Our third-eighth graders worked so hard on completing the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. Testing is tough, especially as the weather starts to shift! We will continue our "testing season" with Illinois Science Assessment for 5th and 8th graders, as well as the MAP/IReady assessments in May for everyone!
It is supposed to be a warmer weekend. Let's hope that you all can get outside and enjoy a few moments in between wind and rain drops!

COVID Update
As we continue to navigate out of the COVID pandemic, it is important that we're all still doing our part to keep each other safe. We will be treating COVID as one of the infectious viruses that can be found in schools, but we still need your help. If your child does not feel well, please keep him/her home. If your child is exhibiting any of the symptoms below, it is highly recommended that you take your child for a COVID test. When a COVID case is reported to the school, we will send home a letter to the grade level notifying parents that there is an active case (similar to strep, chicken pox, etc. letters). We truly appreciate your support over the last two years, and we're excited to be on the other side of the pandemic.
COVID Symptoms
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
