News from CCSD15

The Tuesday, August 11 Board of Education meeting will be held in person in the Walter R. Sundling Junior High Board Room at 7 p.m. Due to Restore Illinois guidelines from Governor Pritzker, we are limited to 50 having people in the room.

Per our typical practice, the meeting will also be live streamed to the District 15 Facebook page. Those who would like to address the Board may do so in person.

Teacher notifications will be sent to parents electronically this week. Schedules for junior high students are available to view Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 1 p.m. by logging into Campus Parent or by downloading the free Infinite Campus mobile app. Elementary teacher assignments will be emailed and texted to families on Friday, Aug. 14 by 5 p.m.

Bus information for free riders will be available to view by logging into Campus Parent or by downloading the free Infinite Campus mobile app on Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 10 a.m. Due to the transportation restrictions faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, change requests will not be taken this year.
