Please be sure to have conversations with your students about how things are going at school. If there are issues with a class, please reach out to the teacher with any questions and/or concerns as they relate to class work, general expectations, and grades. The main office can also be contacted about any concerns or issues. (815-947-3323)

Breakfast is served at 7:45 am during school days. If your student wants breakfast, please have them here as close to that time as possible. Classes start at 8:15am.

Being tardy to school and/or class can earn students an after school detention. Once a student has accumulated three tardies to class and/or school, they will be assigned a detention per handbook policy. Each additional tardy after that will likely carry the same consequence, and when a student gets to 6 they can be assigned an in school suspension. The tardy count resets each quarter.

Our students and staff had a lot of fun with Homecoming last week! Thank you for supporting our students and schools in promoting positive school spirit. Go Blackhawks!
