Attention Jr. High Students and Parents: In accordance with IDPH guidelines, Carrier Mills-Stonefort CUSD #2 and the Greater Egyptian Conference will postpone Junior high school boys' basketball and cheerleading pending IDPH approval.
The Carrier Mills-Stonefort Grade School and High School will resume its normal schedule on Monday, November 9 with In-Person Learning from 7:45 am to 1:45 pm and Remote Learning from 1:45 pm to 3:00 pm.
We look forward to seeing all of our In-Person Learners on Monday!
Attention Parents/Guardians, Jr. High Students, and High School Students: This Friday, November 6 will be the final full remote learning day for the Carrier Mills-Stonefort School District. Starting Monday, November 9 we will resume our schedule of in-person learning from 7:45 am to 1:45 pm and remote learning from 1:45 pm to 3:00 pm each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesdays will continue to be remote learning days with no student attendance.
Although we have provided remote learning from October 23 through November 6, we have several students that have not completed all of their work. Unfortunately, this means we have several students that are currently failing one or more of their classes. To assist those students that have not completed all of their remote learning work over the past two weeks, we are offering an extended school day starting Monday, November 9.
This means that any Jr. High or High School student that is failing one or more of their classes will be required to stay at school from 1:45 pm to 3:00 pm each day until all of their work has been completed. A late bus will run for those students in need of transportation assistance. Please check your young adult's current grades to see if they will need to stay at school on Monday, November 9 from 1:45-3:00. This will also give them Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week to complete any missing work they have yet to complete.
Please contact your young adult's school if you have any additional questions.
The Carrier Mills-Stonefort Grade School and High School will be closed on Tuesday, November 3 for Election Day. In June, Governor Pritzker signed Public Act 101-0642 into law, creating a number of requirements aimed at helping the state prepare for holding the 2020 General Election in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This law requires November 3, 2020 to be a school holiday. No Remote Learning will be assigned on Tuesday, November 3.
Attention Wildcat Family, throughout our remote learning days (October 23 through November 6) the cooks will provide a free breakfast and lunch each day school is normally in session. If you would like a free breakfast or lunch, please contact the Grade School at 618-994-2413, to place your order.
