The countdown is on for the ending of the 2022-2023 school year. The last day of school will be Friday, May 26. This will be an early dismissal day for both the Grade School and High School students (12:00 pm student dismissal). We hope everyone will have a safe and restful summer, and we look forward to seeing you again next school year! The administrative team and I would like to let you know about some changes that will be made for the 2023-2024 school year.
First, all Carrier Mills-Stonefort students (K-12th grades) will register at the Grade School the week of July 24, 2023. Registration will be:
K-2nd and 9th grades will register on Monday, July 24 from 7:00 am-1:00 pm,
3rd-5th and 10th grades will register on Tuesday, July 25 from 7:00 am-1:00 pm,
6th-8th and 11th grades on Wednesday, July 26 from 7:00 am-1:00 pm, and
K-8th and 12th grade students may register on Thursday, July 27 from 10:00 am-6:00 pm.
Open/New Student Registration will be held on Friday, July 28 from 7:00 am-11:00 am.
Grade School parents are asked to pay consumable fees of $40.00 on registration day. The school secretary will be prepared that day to receive money and issue receipts for Grade School students. The High School student fees (which depend on the classes your young adult takes) will be paid at a later date. All forms must be completed by the parents before the student will be allowed to register. The CMSF Student Handbook/Code of Conduct is available on the school website at cmsfcats.org and is updated each July.
Next, as part of Student Registration for next year, all parents/guardians will be required to complete a Proof of Custody and Residency Form. Along with this form you MUST provide the school with documentation that proves you are a resident of Carrier Mills or Stonefort.
Finally, only bus eligible students will be allowed to ride a school bus next year. To be bus eligible, according to the Illinois State Board of Education, you must live more than 1.5 miles from the school. This means, any student that lives 0.0 miles-1.5 miles from the school, will not be allowed to ride the bus to and/or from school. Some exceptions do apply, so please contact the school and speak with your building administrator if you have a question about bus eligibility.
