We are working a lot on our names in kindergarten. We work on identifying our name and writing it. We use these smart pals to practice writing they work like dry erase boards. Happy Monday!

Good afternoon Knights! Thanks for a great week of school. Looking at the projected forecast and in consultation with the administrative team we will be dismissing at 1:15pm at the high school and 1:30pm at the grade schools for Monday, August 30th. We do not have A/C in all of our buildings and with the wearing of masks, we are sensitive to the heat in some of our classrooms throughout the district. Again, next week on Monday, August 30th we will be operating on a shortened schedule with dismissal at the high school at 1:15pm and dismissal at each grade school at 1:30pm We hope that by providing you this message that it allows you time to plan. Thanks for your understanding and we hope you have a great weekend.

Miss Bright loved meeting all the students this week! She introduced herself and students talked about what a school counselor does. The game "A Warm Wind Blows" was a hit with grades 3-5! And 6th grade made an awesome word web!
Kindergarten has loved learning how to operate or Chromebooks this week!
Hope everyone survived the downpour!! Thanks to our team that jumped in to help get the building cleaned up!
It is great to be in a community that supports our schools! Thank you to Masterbrand for donating these school supplies! It’s a great day to be a Knight!

Good morning! As we continue to navigate through this pandemic and as we prepare for the start of the school year, we were all thrown another curveball with the recent change in the return to school criteria. On Wednesday, August 4th the Governor held a press conference where he informed us all that the return to school criteria would be adapted to include a mask mandate for all school districts public and private in the State of Illinois.
Soon thereafter, the Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois State Board of Education followed with their updated document for schools to follow which mirrored the Governor’s mandate that all students regardless of vaccination status must wear a mask while indoors.
The process that the Board of Education developed to come to a conclusion included a Special Meeting to hear from our communities and an additional Special Meeting to vote on how we would begin the school year. This decision did not come easy and many factors were considered moving forward. Although some strong opinions vary on this recent mandate, the Arthur CUSD 305 school district will begin the school year in compliance with the recent mandates. The revised plan has been posted to the website and we will continue to monitor the situation and update our students, staff and communities when any future changes are implemented. Thank you and we look forward to another successful school year.
