Check out these focused learners in Mr. Hopkins first grade class.
Good Morning Raiders,
I've been contacted by the Census Bureau to get the word out about taking the Census. Currently, our district completion numbers are pretty low compared with other areas. I know these types of things are a pain, but the future funding of the district will be greatly impacted by our responses. Please take a couple of minutes to complete this, so we can continue to provide the many great programs we have for our students. Oh, and tell your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same! https://my2020census.gov/
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
3rd Grade Book Tasting looked slightly different than years past but was a HUGE hit to entice our Raider Readers with new texts they will experience throughout their school year. Thank you to Ms. Coile, Ms. Deluhery, and Ms. Simkins for altering their typical plans to make this event happen!
Lately we have seen just how resilient our staff and students are. Check out a couple pics of Raiders practicing new procedures for staying safe. These are lunchroom, PE, and Music. We could not be more proud of how awesome everyone is doing with these changes!
I can't thank our parents and students enough for their kind cooperation. We're all on edge right now, and the cooperation and kindness shown this morning makes me proud to be a Raider!!
I realize our rules are strict on students coming to school presenting any symptoms. Below you will find a link to yesterday's IDPH guidance on how we must treat students and their siblings if they come to school with COVID-like symptoms. Please keep in mind this has changed at least 2 times this week and we expect further changes.
Again, it's exciting to have our students back. We've heard from many of you about how happy you are about school being mostly in-person. Our community survey reported 93% of respondents wanted in-person instruction and we're listening.
From the Board of Education, Administration, Teachers, and Staff we can't thank you enough for all you do to support our efforts. We'll keep working hard to give our community the best possible experience while trying our best to follow IDPH and CDC guidance.
Raider STRONG!
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.

Welcome back Raiders! Have an awesome 2020-21 school year!!!
Breakfast / Lunch for August 2020
Ms. Timm and the Primary School community said goodbye to the Bradford Pear trees in front of the school this week. Planted 40+ years ago, the trees have outlived their life expectancy. As seen in the pictures, these trees have had large falling branches after strong, and even not so strong winds. Midwest Central has had certified arborists inspect these recently and they have been deemed a safety hazard, with many having split deep into the trunks. For the safety of our students, our staff, and our buses we made the decision to remove the trees. We will replant new trees in the near future!
Meet the teacher. Hope to see you there!
Hello Raiders,
I know you've been flooded with communication, and I thank you for taking the time to read through all of the information we send.
This is just a reminder that our future funding will be tied to the data collected from Census 2020. If you haven't taken the time to fill out your Census, please do so. Here is a link with more information.

It's almost time for a new school year. :-)
Hello Raiders,
Since we've moved to an online registration format there have been some questions about how parents will be informed of bus routes and times. Once registration is complete we'll sort through all the relevant information and determine routes and times. All bus riders will get a phone call, email or text before school starts with their bus route information.
Very Best,
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.
Hello,
This is just a reminder that online registration is open. The payment portion is now working as well. We've waived all fees for paying online, and we encourage you to do so if possible. If you've already registered and still need to pay fees you can now do so.
Thank you,
Todd Hellrigel, Ed.D.
The Raider family is grieving an awful loss today!
