CARE Screenings
Pre School Screenings will be held at various locations throughout Vermilion County beginning in January and running throughout the Spring. For more information and a schedule of screenings go to the CARE Screening link on the Elementary page of the District website.
Weather Related Early Dismissals and Cancellations
In the event of an early dismissal or cancellation of school, the Alert Now notification system will automatically call the numbers that you provided at registration on the Alert Now form. If any of your phone numbers have changed since the beginning of the year, please notify the office in writing so that they may be changed in the system. Please refrain from calling school to inquire about dismissals, the Alert Now message will notify you as soon as the decision has been made. School closings will also still be announced on the radio and television stations.
