Greetings District #259 Families,
We apologize for the inconvenience but we experienced some technical difficulties with our RoboCall system on yesterday which prohibited some parents hearing the school closure message. The following message was sent out yesterday to all parents:
This message is to inform you that in anticipation of a severe Winter Storm Warning for the Kankakee County area, school will be closed on Wednesday, February 2nd and Thursday, February 3rd, 2022 for all students and staff.
This school closure has been designated as E-Learning Days. This means that students will be provided instructional materials to complete while at home and must bring them back on the next instructional day in order to receive credit/attendance. Each student was also sent home with a sack containing Breakfast and Lunch for two days.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Main Office at 815-944-5448.
Stay warm, and stay safe!

This applies to students that are both vaccinated and unvaccinated. All students will be provided a free test upon entry into the school before going to the classrooms. If a student tests positive then they will be sent to the isolation room immediately, and sent home to quarantine. In addition, the Administration will conduct contract tracing to ensure that the positive case is contained. If you have any questions or concern please do not hesitate to contact Administration at 815-944-5219.

Greetings District #259 Community,
It has been brought to my attention that there has been mention of threats for school violence on Friday, December 17th via social media (TikTok) that have raised some concern across the United States. Although these threats are not perceived to be credible and directly aimed at our school, our Administration is aware and will be implementing extra safety precautions tomorrow, December 17th.
The health and safety of all students and staff are our top priority. We will keep you posted if anything arises from the threats.
Take Care,
