Happy November! Please review the schedule for next week. Monday, November 24 is a half-day of attendance. Elementary students will be released at 11:15 am and junior high students will be released at 11:45 am. The early childhood/pre-k AM session will attend. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held in the afternoon and evening of November 24 and 25. There is no school for the remainder of the week due the Thanksgiving Holiday.

November 15 marks the official statewide observance of School Board Members Day in Illinois. Each year, this day is an opportunity to show support for your board of education and the individual school board members who are committed to providing a local voice for your educational decisions.

The PASS Program will be closed on Wednesday, December 3 so that our PASS Employees can attend the annual staff winter party. We thank you for your understanding.

Tryouts for the District Talent Show will be held soon! Interested students in grades 5-8 should see their music or band teacher for more details on tryouts and rehearsals. The Talent Show will be held at Liberty Friday, December 5 at 7:00 pm.

Do you have a 3- or 4-year-old ready to learn, play, and grow? McCord Early Learning Center is now enrolling students into our Preschool program! Our classrooms are filled with hands-on learning, friendship, and fun—all in a nurturing environment designed to help every child shine.

We want to reassure you that our schools are safe and welcoming places for every child. Attached is a letter from Dr. Fleck that explains our district’s commitment to providing all students with a free and equal education, regardless of immigration status, and outlines the policies we follow to ensure student safety and support. Please take a few minutes to read the attached letter and resources. Thank you for being an important part of our school community.
