Attention : Baseball and Softball Parents
The junior high baseball and softball teams are playing at Pope County tomorrow. The bus will leave at 2:45. If parents prefer to drive their own child to the game, they may do that. All players must be at the field by 3:45. We will be allowing parents to drive their own children to the games for the remainder of the season due to Covid restrictions and contact tracing on the bus. Please drive your child only and do not share rides as this does not cut down on the number of individuals your child has been exposed to. If you would like to drive your child to the game, please be at the back grade school parking lot by the junior high door at 2:45 tomorrow when players are released from school. Players do not need to be signed out through the office. If you are not able to drive your child, they will be allowed to ride the bus.
Picture Day is tomorrow at the Grade School. Click this link for online ordering: https://my.lifetouch.com/mylifetouch/#/pictureDayId/EVTG437JC **If needed, the picture day ID is: EVTG437JC **Picture make up day is October 7th.**
This is just a reminder, but Carrier Mills-Stonefort will have school on Monday, August 30, 2021.
Attention Wildcat Community: Tomorrow will be a Teacher In-Service Day. This means only the teachers will report to school on Friday, August 27. We will have no student attendance this Friday. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we wanted you to know as soon as possible. We will make a decision on school next week as soon as we can.
Grade School Parents:
Here are a few bits of information for our first day of school tomorrow:
1.) All kindergarten through 2nd grade students will enter through the front doors of the school.
2.) K-2 parents may walk their child to class briefly, and wear a mask while inside the school. These doors will open at 7:45.
3.) 3rd-8th grade students WHO ARE EATING BREAKFAST will enter through the cafeteria doors. Breakfast doors open at 7:35.
4.) 3rd-8th grade students who are NOT eating breakfast will enter through the front doors and proceed to the gym. These doors will open at 7:45.
We are so excited to start the new school year! See you all tomorrow!

Yesterday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced masks will be required for students, teachers and staff at pre-kindergarten-12th grade schools. The new measure is part of the state’s ongoing effort to combat a new surge as the Delta variant rapidly spreads.
The mask requirement is inclusive of youth sports and activities, with masks now required for all indoor extracurriculars and sports. In line with CDC guidance, masks are not required for activities outdoors where transmission risks and rates are lower.
Yesterday’s announcement differs from the reopening plan our school district recently adopted. At this time, the Board of Education will meet to review the new rules and will be communicating with you any changes as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support of our students, and I look forward to a new school year!
