On October 4, all students grades 6-12 will receive active threat/intruder drill training. On Thursday, October 5, the school district will hold active threat drills to practice the procedures taught during the training. The state of Illinois requires the school district to give parents/guardians the option to opt their student out of the active threat drills. If you DO NOT want your child to participate in the active threat drills, please call the school your student attends to receive a copy of the opt-out form. The form will need to be signed and returned for your child to NOT participate in the drill. All parents and students will be informed on the dates of the drills. If you choose to opt-out your child will be moved to an alternate location in the school building and will not participate in the drill but will receive a separate training.

This past week as some of you may be aware, Eldorado High School sadly lost one of their own students. Noah Tackett, who was a freshman was killed along with his parents as a result of a tragic car accident. As this time, we are asking that as a Wildcat family we rally around this family to assist in expenses. On Friday, September 1, 2023 we are having “Hats for the Tackett family”. We are asking that if you wish to wear a hat for school (must be school appropriate) that you donate $1.00. (Obviously you are free to donate more if you feel led too). All donations will be given to the family for upcoming expenses.
The Cheer Clinic Forms sent home last week contain a mistake that needs to be corrected. The Clinic is TUESDAY, September 19 and WEDNESDAY, September 20. Sorry for the confusion.
