Dress your best & dance the night away! JAMS students join us from 6:30-9:30p in the JAMS gym tonight! Cost is $5 or $4+1 canned good at the door. Snacks will be available for $1 each. Special thanks to student council for hosting!

Together for Deck the Paws we collected 22 jars of peanut butter,9 bags of flour,20 cans of pumpkin,19 jars of cinnamon, several dozen of eggs and $203! Whether it is for a student, family or staff, we give kindly, willingly and generously.Thank you everyone for your donations!

Although it is not typical that we would send a message when school is IN session, district officials want to confirm that Central School District #104 plans to have school today and to run at the regular times. Parking lots and sidewalks are being treated for extra precaution.

School will resume Tuesday, January 21, 2020.

There will be no school for Central School District #104 today, Friday, January 17 due to the strong possibility of freezing rain and ice expected to move into the area by mid- morning. There is no Latch Key and the winter dance at JAMS is cancelled as well.

As you are aware, the weather forecasts for tomorrow, January 17, call for ice and inclement weather in the afternoon. Given the unpredictability of this particular storm system, school officials will continue to monitor weather conditions through the night. Please prepare for the possibility of school cancellation in the morning, or a notification that we will have an early dismissal during the school day tomorrow. Both are possibilities we are weighing. If Central School District #104 should have an early dismissal, please also prepare for Latch Key and after school activities to be cancelled. We will make any decisions as early as possible to allow families to plan. As always, we will use the best information available and will err on the side of safety. Dawn Elser, Superintendent

Kindergarten student, Sophia, inspired a #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay for being a caring friend. A staff member observed Sophia helping a student who was having a hard time. She saw that a friend needed some support and Sophia helped her friend get calm, and then asked that friend to sit together at lunch. Thank you for showing empathy, Sophia!

I am proud that he has been working to set and achieve goals in his classroom, and that he has been modeling good behaviors in our school. Keep up the good work, CJ!
