Attending school regularly is extremely important to your child's academic success. Missing just two days of school a month can lead them to a student being considered a chronic absentee. Let's work together this school year to ensure our students are attending school regularly and making the most out of the 2024-2025 school year. #bepresentbepowerful


Mrs. Goodson's 5th grade enjoyed a coffee inspired book tasting to start off the year. As the students "tasted" different genres they enjoyed juice, cookies and mints!








This Friday, August 30 Clara Peterson staff and students will participate in a crisis evacuation drill starting at 8:30 a.m. Staff and students will evacuate the building and go to our rallying point, the Lutheran Church, and then be bussed to our reunification center which is ELITE fitness center. This drill will be supervised by school administration and the Paxton Police Department. Once the drill is complete a notification will be sent when all staff and students are back at Clara Peterson.

We are looking to add to our team for the 2024-2025 school year.

Week 1 in the books! Our teachers and students are thriving. We're excited to see what this year brings.




Clara Peterson students will be walking to Paxton Lutheran Church during P.E. classes today as part of our ALICE procedures. The church is our designated rallying point in the case of an emergency. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Ford County Schools (GCMS, PBL, Tri-Point) are partnering together to decrease chronic absenteeism in our schools. We have worked with the Champaign-Ford County Regional Office of Education to secure an attendance liaison, to work strictly with Ford County Schools. We will be hosting monthly visits at our school with the ROE Attendance liaison during the school day. These visits aim to address the importance of consistent school attendance.


PBL is looking for a School Nurse. Make sure to apply if you are interested.
