Good afternoon Knights! Thanks for a great start to the school year today, it was nice to talk with students and experience their enthusiasm and excitement. In consultation with the administrative team we will be dismissing at 1:15pm at the high school and 1:30pm at the grade schools for the remainder of the week. We do not have A/C in all of our buildings and with the wearing of masks, we are sensitive to the heat in some of our classrooms throughout the district. We hope that by providing you this message that it allows you time to plan for the rest of the week. We have also looked ahead to next week and realize the projected forecast remains hot so a decision regarding next week’s schedule will be communicated on Friday afternoon. Thanks for your understanding and we hope you have a great rest of the week.

Mrs. Pitts and Mrs. Seal ready to meet students at LGS First Night!
Good morning! As we continue to navigate through this pandemic and as we prepare for the start of the school year, we were all thrown another curveball with the recent change in the return to school criteria. On Wednesday, August 4th the Governor held a press conference where he informed us all that the return to school criteria would be adapted to include a mask mandate for all school districts public and private in the State of Illinois.
Soon thereafter, the Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois State Board of Education followed with their updated document for schools to follow which mirrored the Governor’s mandate that all students regardless of vaccination status must wear a mask while indoors.
The process that the Board of Education developed to come to a conclusion included a Special Meeting to hear from our communities and an additional Special Meeting to vote on how we would begin the school year. This decision did not come easy and many factors were considered moving forward. Although some strong opinions vary on this recent mandate, the Arthur CUSD 305 school district will begin the school year in compliance with the recent mandates. The revised plan has been posted to the website and we will continue to monitor the situation and update our students, staff and communities when any future changes are implemented. Thank you and we look forward to another successful school year.
Good Afternoon Knight Families,

Teachers will be stationed outside to greet you and your students. Students and families will be allowed to come into the school a few at a time to drop off supplies. Masks will be required for you to enter the building. Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to starting the year off on a positive note!
