UPCOMING News! 

Illinois Youth Survey

During the spring semester (January through June) of the 2017-2018 school year, schools within the city of Chicago and throughout the state will have the opportunity to conduct the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS) with students in 8th, 10th, or 12th grade. Your child's school may choose to participate.

The purpose of the IYS is to better understand youth attitudes and behaviors that can impact student problems and academic success. It will ask about topics including nutrition, physical activity, bullying, tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use. Students will be asked to complete a survey (with no names or identification numbers) that will be confidentially administered during one class period. The survey is completely voluntary and privacy will be strictly protected.

The Illinois Youth Survey will provide your school with a local report of the combined student results which will help to determine which programs may be needed do keep students safe and healthy.

Summer Positions Available for Teens at Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge

CHAUTAUQUA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, near Havana is accepting applications for the 2018 Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) Program tentatively scheduled to begin June 4 and end July 27. YCC enrollees work on wildlife habitat improvement projects, refuge maintenance projects, trails, boundary posting, brush cutting, and other outdoor work. Environmental education field trips are scheduled to provide enrollees a diverse experience with other conservation activities. Applicants must be at least 15 when the program begins (June 4) and must not turn 19 before the program closes (July 27). Enrollees will be selected in a random drawing to participate in the 8 week program. YCC enrollees will be paid the state minimum wage of $8.25 per hour, 40 hours per week. The daily reporting site is the refuge headquarters located 9 miles northeast of Havana, just off the Manito Blacktop. Working hours are 7:30 AM-4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Applications must be received at the refuge headquarters by 3:00 PM on Friday, April 13. If selected, applicants under the age of 16 will be required to obtain a work permit before May 2. The work is primarily outdoors so exposure to insects and poison ivy is inevitable. Appropriate personal protective equipment will be provided by the refuge. Information on obtaining YCC enrollee applications is being provided to area schools. For more information, please contact Ron Fisher at 309/535-2290 or Ron_Fisher@fws.gov. See Mrs. Hatfill for an application.

“On Time, All Day, Every day!”  Coming to school “on time, all day and everyday” teaches our young people…even the tiniest among us…discipline, responsibility and work ethic.  All of these qualities are necessary as we prepare these students for college and career.  The General State aid we receive from the government to buy supplies and materials for our classrooms depends on the number of students who regularly attend school.   Children need parents and guardians to encourage them to be here.  Help us help them to be “On Time, ALL Day, Every day!”

Jeanne Davis, Superintendent
