Good morning! We have two messages to share. First is the annual safety letter that describes the evacuation procedure should that become necessary to use this year. Thank you for reading it carefully: https://5il.co/xmr0. Second, I wanted to thank those who have signed up for the SHIELD-IL screening program. We are still waiting for a few steps to be completed; we will communicate with you when we are ready to begin screening. Thanks and let's have a great full week as we return to our 3:10 dismissal time! #br_u_knighted

Good afternoon! Our first three days of school are coming to a close. Next week we return to our regular 3:10 dismissal time.
We did have our first positive COVID-19 case at the high school today. With our current masking requirement being followed, there will be no close contacts from within our classrooms. If a situation exists in which your son/daughter is determined to be a close contact, you will be notified by the school district and then by the health department. We are thankful that with our first case the contact tracing is complete and there are no close contacts involved. #br_u_knighted
