More importantly, we had THREE students qualify for the IHSA State Tournament: Elisabeth Sandoval, Taylor Cady, and Madison Hieser!

The IHSA State Tournament will take place virtually this coming Friday evening and Saturday morning/afternoon.

With the potential of inclement weather, we wanted to remind everyone of our E-Learning Plan protocols as we no longer have traditional "snow days". If we are in a position to have to call school off for cold/snow, it will be shared with parents using our “blast” system and social media, as well as tv station alerts. All students (both students who would have been at school and those who would be at home) need to sign-into their Google attendance sheet for each class by 11:00am. Classwork/assignments will be posted by 8:00am for all students who would have been “at school”. “At home” students will go on with their day as normal as they will already have their assignments. Please know "if" we do have to call off school due to inclement weather we will communicate that information to everyone as early as possible.
Students - Don't forget the watch party tomorrow night! Canopy doors open up at 6:30 PM !
