•December 2024...
December has flown by, and as we part ways for winter break, we want to say THANK YOU for an AMAZING first semester. Class projects, building projects, community meetings, professional development...all of it has contributed to our success for the first half of the 2024-2025 school year. We will see you all in 2025, ready to kickstart another amazing semester!
The photo above is from the Choices Matter visit with Sting Ray Robb! He gave our students some incredible tips about making good decisions on and off the road.
At Danville Community Schools, WE ARE WARRIORS! Keep reading for more classroom happenings, student and staff celebrations, important notes for the future, and upcoming events!

North
Gobble, gobble...It's time for a Turkey dinner! Mrs. McAfee's class enjoyed a fun little Thanksgiving feast of turkey, popcorn, M&Ms, apples, and juice after receiving notes about why their teacher is so thankful for them. The photo gives this away, but it was a very cute activity, and the students had a blast!
South
Mr. Vrabel's class had an exciting opportunity to learn about a new culture through food! One student recently visited family in India, and his classmates had many questions about his travels when he returned. He shared a report of everything he did, which led to another fantastic idea. His family visited the class last week, bringing traditional Indian dishes with them! They shared photos, talked about their trip, and let every student try the dishes. Overall, the students agreed that everything was delicious and gave the whole experience two thumbs up!
DCHS
NHS completed some more community service, stuffing stockings for a local nursing home! Inside were candy, toothbrushes, lotion, chapstick, and other essentials. Thank you for your dedication to serving our community!

Future Considerations - Winter Weather and eLearning
Weather eLearning Closures are designed for days that fog, ice, snow and/or temperature make it very difficult or impossible to run transportation. (Learn more about how we make a weather closure decision here.) District alerts and/or communications will indicate if we will use a waiver day (no school) or engage in BASIC or LIVE instruction during an eLearning closure. Here are the differences between the two types of eLearning Days:
eLearning BASIC Day - These days will provide our students with virtual instruction like we have had on scheduled eLearning Days in the past. Teachers will be available to answer questions throughout the day, and assignments will be posted in Schoology for students to complete. On an eLearning BASIC Day, there should be a limited amount of student to teacher virtual engagement.
eLearning LIVE Day - These days will provide our students with live person-to-person virtual instruction that follows their normal school day schedule with a high amount of teacher engagement with students. At the secondary level, students will follow their synchronous bell schedule. At the elementary level, homeroom teachers should help guide students on a schedule similar to what they follow when they are in-person.
