Important information from the nurse's office:
The Illinois State Board of Education requires students in Kindergarten, 2nd, 6th, and 12th be in compliance with the state health requirements. Parents/Guardians have been notified by the school nurse via phone call and letter mailed home. If your child is noncompliant upon returning from Fall break, he/she will not be eligible to attend school. Please contact the nurse's office with questions.
Late this evening, we were made aware of a possible threat to school safety that was posted on social media. Immediately, with the help of the Christopher Police Department, we began the process of conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. The social media post has been deemed not credible.
The well-being of our students is our top priority, so we wanted to inform you of this incident and assure you it is safe for your child to attend school.
We want to thank the Christopher Police Department and ISP for their quick and professional response.
Important information regarding tonight's Bitty Bearcats performance!
Kickoff for the football game has been moved up to 6 PM. The cheer camp will still go on, as scheduled. Please drop your child off at 5 PM at the CHS Gym. We will practice in the gym and plan to perform at halftime, weather permitting. The Bitty Bearcats will be under the supervision of the CZR Cheerleaders and coach until the halftime performance is finished. Following the performance, the Bitty Bearcats will be released to their parents/guardians.

The Bearcat Buggy made its way around CES this morning! Staff members got to pick a treat and a drink from the buggy. Thanks to Mrs. Dawe for sponsoring this week's cart!
