Coaches vs. Kids


We are selling butter braids and pretzels to help raise money for the 8th grade trip. We will be selling from Friday, February 7th through Monday, March 3rd. Orders will be delivered Friday, March 14, 2025. Money is due at time of order. If writing a check, make payable to Cornell Grade School.
Thank you for your Support!


The Flanagan-Cornell Unit District 74 Board of Education is conducting a search for a
new superintendent. The selection of a new superintendent is probably the most
important decision a board of education has to make; therefore, the Board has hired the
Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to assist in this process.
The Board of Education is seeking everyone’s input in the search process. The Board
requests that all board members, all staff, all parents and community members complete
an online survey provided by the IASB. The results will be tallied and used by the Board
and Screening Team to develop a brochure to advertise the position. All survey responses
and comments will remain anonymous.
The survey for Cornell Elementary School staff and parents can be accessed at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DMX9DBX
There is no password for this group.
The survey deadline is February 16, 2025 at 11:45 p.m.
Thank you for taking time to complete the survey.

Friday, November 15

Unfortunately due to the gas leak in the school we are dismissing student at 12:15, if your students ride a bus a bus will be bringing them home, otherwise parents need to make arrangements to pick up their students at the purple park. You will need to sign students out if you pick them up. We were unfortunately unable to serve lunch due to the gas leak. As of right now conferences are still on, we will notify you if that changes.

Staff and Students have been evacuated due to a possible gas leak. Waiting on Nicor to respond for further information. We will keep you updated on the situation.

The Cornell PTC/Athletic Boosters Club would like to thank everyone who came out to our Coaches vs Kids Night on March 21st. We also want to thank everyone who contributed to our silent auction items for the Coaches vs Kids night. We raised $2,298.75 at this event. PTC had a successful year of fundraising thanks to the outstanding community support we have had this year. PTC’s largest purchase this year was the new gymnasium wall pads, installed over spring break. Thank you all for the amazing support! GO COUGARS!
