SES Parents,
Just a reminder of our Remote/Blended Learning Days on Thursday and Friday (September 3 & 4). Students will not be in-person learning, but all students will be remote learning from home. Teachers sent home schedules for the Remote/Blended Learning Days last Friday, so if you do not have the schedule, please contact your child's classroom teacher. Make sure the classroom teacher has an updated contact number for where your child can be reached during the school day on Thursday and Friday. The Remote/Blended Learning Days are an opportunity for teachers, students, and parents to practice remote learning should there be another extended closure of schools similar to the closure back in March due to Covid-19. Please contact the school with any questions.
Individuals attending today’s SHS Cross Country meet can park in Wyman Park. The parking lot at Tabor Park will be closed for meet personnel only.
The SHS Girls Golf match scheduled for today 8/25 hosted by Champaign Central has been cancelled.
Just a reminder that for those attending the SHS Cross Country meet today at Little Galilee in Clinton that IDPH requires that spectators wear face coverings when attending
SES Parents....Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we navigate the beginning of the school year. The week has been absolutely fantastic and the students are excited to be back into the school routine. I wanted to communicate a change to our ARRIVAL procedure at SES. We are going to open up the East side of the school for vehicle drop-off in the mornings. Please do not drop off students at the entrance door as buses will be arriving, but you can drop your students off at the playground entrance and the student can walk on the sidewalk to the East side main entrance. Dismissal procedures will remain the same. Contact the school if you have any questions.
For those attending the SHS golf match this afternoon at Eagle Creek, please see the attached guidelines from Okaw Valley High School to follow this evening.

Due to IDPH regulations, all spectators attending a Sullivan schools indoor or outdoor athletic event must wear a mask at all times. This includes events held on campus or off campus at places such as parks and golf courses.
Have you completed your 2020 Census? Do it NOW! www.2020census.gov
Completing your census is like giving $1,500 per year for the next 10 years to an organization in your community such as your school, library or for roads and infrastructure. Take that number, and multiply it by every person in your household; that is how important completing your census is to support your local community!
