Our 4th grade resource students had a fun day today with a St. Patrick's Day Carnival.





Say Something Week was a resounding success, thanks to our dedicated first responders, teachers, and community! Let's continue to "say something" and make our community even stronger.


We would like to invite you to provide feedback to assist us in driving our school improvement efforts. The 5Essentials Survey, which will help schools and districts identify areas of strength and those in need of support, is open until March 28. There is an optional parent survey that goes along with the teacher and student survey. PBL schools will get a report from the parent survey if the school achieves a 20% response rate. We are asking that you please take a few minutes to complete the survey. The survey is located at: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/

Our students enjoyed a fantastic visit to the FFA Petting Zoo, hosted by our Ag department. Thanks to everyone who helped make this wonderful experience possible!








Mr. VanNote, Officer Ryan, and Mr. Jones came into the 3rd grade classrooms this week to speak about how they help people with their jobs. 3rd graders then worked on writing about someone they knew that helped people that they consider a hero.




Our fifth graders were fortunate to hear from guest speaker Margurette Carter yesterday. A respected educator, mentor, and active Rantoul community member, Mrs. Carter shared her life experiences. Thank you, Mrs. Carter, for inspiring our students!









Clara Peterson students will be bussed over to the FFA petting zoo throughout the day today. Each grade level will spend about 45 minutes at the high school before returning to Clara Peterson.

We are looking to add to our team for the 2025-2026 school year with some positions available immediately.
