Dear Parent / Guardian:
As you know, as of September 1, 2020, the State of Illinois has provided free lunches for all students. That program is continuing through the 2021 - 2022 school year.
As we have continued to bring various aspects of the school finances up to date we have discovered that some students are carrying an unpaid lunch balance that existed prior to September 1, 2020.
A report of your child's lunch balance is being sent home. If the balance is in ( ) that is the amount you owe. If it is not in ( ) then this is a positive balance.
Eighth grade students need to pay anything owed prior to graduation. If they end up with a positive balance it can be transferred to a sibling or refunded. Just let us know.
If your statement has a number of $.40 charges this is for an extra milk that the state has determined is not free.
If you have a substantial balance owed, we can work out a payment program.
Please call the office at (815)358-2216 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Randy Vincent
Interim Superintendent

We have had 4 third grade students test positive. Consequently, the entire third grade will not be in school tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday. Of course, after that we have Thanksgiving Break. If you are uncomfortable sending your student to school just let us know and we will provide remote support. Just call and let us know.
Should we have a surge before Thanksgiving Break we will consider a school wide shut down.
Sincerely,
Randy Vincent

HALLOWEEN PARADE IS CANCELED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER!
PBIS will be making a decision about the outdoor Halloween parade by 10am Thursday. Please check back here for updates!
Cornell Halloween Trick or Treating! Saturday, October 30th 4:00-6:30
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Our Halloween Celebration will be held on Thursday 10/28. Because of Covid 19 we will not be having a traditional Halloween class party.
K-4 Students will be allowed to wear their costumes to school all day on Thursday. Please make sure they have regular clothes under their costumes.
5-8 Students will be allowed to change into their costumes after lunch. Please remember costumes must be school appropriate!
At 1:00 we will have our traditional Halloween parade (weather permitting). Parents may line the route to watch the parade, but will not be allowed to hand out treats like in years past. PBIS and the PTC will be providing treats for students.
After the parade students will watch a movie in the gym for the remainder of the day. Thursday is a 2pm dismissal for Parent/Teacher conferences.
