Good morning Knights! I know there has been a significant number of reminders about the
upcoming open houses we are hosting at the high school, but I wanted to send one final reminder
before the first one occurs this Saturday, starting at 9 am.
I also wanted to provide you with some final directions for the open houses and inform you
on what to expect during your visit. We currently have three dates and times scheduled, Saturday,
May 11th from 9am-1pm, Tuesday, May 14th from 4pm-7pm and then on Wednesday, May
15th from 4pm-6pm. The open houses will be formatted as just that, an open house. You may
arrive at any time, stay as short or as long as you need/want and make the experience what you need.
We will have our district architects on site as well as various staff members, and they are eager to
answer any questions you may have in addition to showing you around the building.
We want to provide you with a proposed building plan that has a nice mix of new and
remodeled portions of the existing building. The high school has good bones and we tried to
preserve as much of that character and blueprint as possible moving forward. At the beginning of the
school year, we had a team of our architects on site, talking with staff and students about their wants,
needs and desires. From that information, some plans were developed and recently vetted with focus
groups in each community consisting of staff, parents and community members.
After considering all of those viewpoints and digesting the suggestions, we are ready to
present a plan that encapsulates all of that information and suggestions. As stated, the plan
incorporates a nice mix of new and remodeled spaces at the current location. In addition, it provides
our students and staff with educational spaces and opportunities that are more consistent with best
practices for educating students in the 21st century. So, listed below are some highlights of what to
expect during your visit, and another reminder of the dates and times. It is a responsibility to be
informed and we hope that you take one or all of these opportunities to do so. I am so excited for the
potential this project creates for our staff, students and communities, so if you cannot make one of
the open houses, please reach out to me personally to set a time we can discuss and learn more
together. My office number is 217-543-2511, or my email is cheeks@cusd305.org
What to expect from your visit?
● Tour of the facility
● Information about the potential building plan
● Financial implications of the building plan
● Information about current educational challenges the current facility presents
● Opportunity to ask questions and receive accurate information
Dates and Times - all of the open houses are held on the campus of the high school
● Saturday, May 11th, 9am-1pm
● Tuesday, May 14th, 4pm-7pm
● Wednesday, May 15th, 4pm-6pm
Please plan on entering the facility through the main doors to the high school, on the North West
side of the building.
The next two weeks of school are all about projects in third grade! Their first project is making posters to teach one another about different shapes.
Artist of the Week this week is Faith Whitlow. Congrats!
