We need substitutes for paraprofessionals and certified teachers! If you know anyone who can help, please share with them!
The state designations are out from the Illinois State Board of Education. We are proud of the growth our two schools have made!
Technology is a tool. Here at Central School District #104 our students are highly engaged in learning activities without devices. Check it out thanks to our awesome JAMS Media Club! 💙🐯

Mrs. Icenogle’s class earned enough Tiger Tickets for a ghoulish slime day! 👻
They had some spooky science fun exploring how our slime can act like both a solid and a liquid!
They also had a special visit from Officer Ben, who read us The Littlest Pumpkin! 🎃 A fun-filled day of science, stories, and well-earned rewards! 🐯

Every time Miss Barnes’ class gets a compliment from a staff member they earn a piece of Mr. Potato Head. After earning the last piece, they got to enjoy a snack of chips.
Our fire safety assembly on Friday was amazing! Thank you to the O'Fallon Fire Department!
Dr. Moore had a GREAT, but BUSY day being Superintendent for the Day.
We hope to see you at the Trunk or Treat Friday night at JAMS!
What makes the BEST day in computers? Sometimes, it's taking computers APART instead of turning them ON! Our second graders had the opportunity to put their computer knowledge to work by taking apart decommissioned Chromebooks to get an up-close look at the parts they've been learning about in Mrs. Grady's class. Armed with screwdrivers, prying tools, and safety glasses (because safety comes first!), students became computer technicians for the day! The excitement was contagious as students discovered what makes a computer work from the inside out! Who says learning about technology always requires screen time? Sometimes the BEST learning happens when we unplug, grab a screwdriver, and start exploring!
A huge thank you to OTHS' National Honor Society and their sponsor Mrs. Ritzel for their outstanding support in collecting Halloween costumes for our kids this year. Costumes will be available for free at JAMS Trunk or Treat this Friday night from 6-8 pm and what's leftover we will have available at Family Conferences the following week. We are so grateful for our partnership!
1st graders have been doing a whole lot of hands-on learning! This includes phonics practice writing with shaving cream, counting the seeds inside of a pumpkin, nature walks, and learning about therapy dogs!
Join us in recognizing our outstanding building principals this week! The time and effort they give to making our schools excellent is commendable!
