Halloween Day No Costumes

Due to the fact we offered a Halloween Dance for students to wear costumes, we are not allowing costumes to be worn at school on Halloween day. Costumes present a distraction to the learning environment at the middle school level. Thank you for your understanding.

Fall Fundraiser Item Pick-Up

Items for the fall fundraiser are currently scheduled to arrive on November 2. We will be setting pickup times between 3 and 7 p.m. that day. It is imperative that all items be picked up on that day as we do not have the freezer space to store it. If you are unable to pick up items on November 2, we ask that you make arrangements with a friend or relative that may be able to help. Some of the popcorn and tumblers have arrived and we will distribute these items to the students to bring home. Not all items have been delivered, but we will have a delivery date estimate on November 2nd.

We do have several orders that were not attached to a specific student. If your child does not receive their items for distribution or have missing orders, please contact us.

NIU Research Study (Voluntary)

From time to time, we work with local universities to help them gather information for educational research. Stephanie Cleary from Northern Illinois University is asking for volunteers to help with her study of parent-adolescent relationship issues. This is completely voluntary and you do not need to complete this.

If you are interested in helping with the research, click here for more information.
