Mrs. McInerney’s 8th grade science classes are ready for some football!🏈 Students collaborated in small groups to design and build a field goal post using only 8 items or less. They did an awesome job testing their designs (using the tiniest footballs), recording their data, calculating and finally displaying their results! We wrapped up class by predicting who would win this Sunday. While we ended up with more votes for the 49ers, but Mrs. Mac is still cheering for Taylor’s boyfriend! 🙌🏻🏈💕

Due to the freezing rain and icy road conditions, especially on side streets and untreated surfaces, all District 200 schools will engage in an e-learning day today, Jan. 23. Students in grades 1-12 will follow the e-learning schedule that can be found here. All students should login to Google Classroom by 9 a.m. to receive assignments and Google Meets links. Kindergarten and early childhood students should follow the plan that has been communicated by their teacher. Coaches and/or sponsors communicate the status of any after school or evening activities with families later today. Barring any additional travel challenges or inclement weather, school will be back in session on Wednesday, Jan. 24. With that said, we encourage you to continue monitoring e-mail, social media and the district’s family of websites for updates about the weather and its impact on our operations. We recognize that this month has brought a number of severe weather events that have forced us to engage in e-learning, which creates additional challenges for our parents/guardians, students and staff. Your understanding, cooperation and resilience are greatly appreciated as we navigate these challenges together. Please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) with any questions. Sincerely, Dr. Jeff Schuler Superintendent of Schools Community Unit School District 200
