Congratulations to our October donut party winners! These students were eligible for the reward by receiving zero referrals towards our targeted quarterly goal of, "Being Respectful During Conflict," and were randomly selected by their homeroom teacher. Our focus this quarter is to avoid physical contact during conflict. Instead, we are utilizing the communication model during these times of conflict.


Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Check out the flyer for our daily theme days.


Join us in wearing orange on Wednesday for Unity Day!


Dr. Webb and Dr. Hartford represented CUSD 5 well at the IL Principal’s Association annual conference this morning. Both presented to other state level administrators during the conference.




CIS students ended the first quarter with a visit from the American Ice Cream truck for meeting their PBIS goal of being prepared for class. Students meeting their individual goal competed in the dodgeball tournament. Congratulations to Mrs. Gooden’s fourth grade class, Mrs. Erwin’s fifth grade class and Mrs. Cannon’s sixth grade class for winning their grade level tournament!





Don't forget to join us at the PTO Tailgate tonight from 5:30 - 7:00 at Tri-C Elementary. There will be hot dogs, chips, drinks and entertainment for children through 6th grade. We look forward to seeing you there!

This morning, Dr. Webb recognized over forty students who have earned the donut reward party for meeting our PBIS quarter goal on being prepared. In order to be eligible, students had to have zero referrals for being unprepared during the month of August and September. Teachers and staff then selected one of their students to receive this award. We will celebrate before school tomorrow with Dixie Cream donuts. Congratulations!
