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, Just a quick reminder that First Night will be held tonight at Lovington Grade School. Kindergarteners need to report at 5:30pm. Pre-k, 1st through 8th grade may come between 6:00-7:00pm. 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!

Moultrie County Health Department is hosting a Pfizer Vaccination Clinic on Thursday, August 19 at the American Legion Post 68 in Sullivan. See flyer for more details.

There is a small typo in the First Night letter…Kindergarten will meet at 5:30 not 6:30. We are sorry for any confusion and can’t wait to see you all!! Don’t forget your supplies.
