Good Afternoon:
We are excited to announce that due to COVID 19 mass restriction changes we are now able to welcome more guest for the Jr. High Graduation. Each graduate will receive 20 tickets at graduation practice on Wednesday morning. All guest will need to show their ticket when entering the gym on Thursday night. No ticket is required for the graduate or students that are participating in the choir.
Mask will be required through the entire ceremony for all graduates and guests.
Iconik will be here to take photos of the graduates prior to graduation in the Jr. High gym and students will be allowed to remove their mask for these pictures. Picture order forms will go home with graduates at graduation practice on Wednesday.
If you would like to have a family picture taken with your graduate in front of the podium in the high school gym, we are allowing you to do so by appointment only, from 12:30-6:00 on Wednesday. Parents will not be allowed to come down onto the floor Thursday evening for photos.
This is a reminder to all virtual students that we will be collecting your school supplies tomorrow, Monday, May 17th from 2:30 until 3:30. Please bring your textbooks, workbooks, chromebooks/iPad, and chargers to the collection area located at the gym entrance under the awning. Thank you
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, and Community,
We want to inform you we were notified by a parent and the Egyptian Health Department that a student has been positively diagnosed with COVID-19. The last time the student was in the building was Friday, May 14th. We must protect the privacy of the student(s) involved, and school nurses are making phone calls to parents and guardians of students identified as close contact. Once the Egyptian Health Department completes contact tracing, they will contact those in close contact with the student (within 6 feet of positive case for 15 minutes or more). As a precaution, and with only three and a half days of school remaining, one class will not return to the building this school year. The district will continue mitigation procedures and follow the CDC and IDPH guidelines as we finish up this school year. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The high school virtual awards day will air TONIGHT at 7 p.m. on our YouTube Channel. Use the link below to watch along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vB1oDt7y_I
Beginning Monday, May 10th, we will be having all students leave their Chromebook/iPad and chargers at school. They will still be allowed to use them in the classroom, they will just not be bringing them home. If the teachers assign homework after this date, it will be paper assignments only for our in person learners. The virtual learners will still have one week of work.
Monday, May 17th we will collect Chromebook/iPads from all students (virtual and in person). Virtual students will be required to turn in their electronic device, charger, books, and all workbooks that they used to complete virtual learning. You will bring all returned items between 2:30 and 3:30 to the gymnasium entrance. You can pull through the circle drive and we will have someone there to collect everything. Keep in mind our buses do not leave the property until 2:15. You will not be able to pull in while buses are lined up. We ask that you have all materials, books, devices, chargers, and cases in a bag and labeled with the child’s name and grade level on it.
