Yesterday, we learned how to speak up when something’s not right! 🗣️ Today, we’re taking it a step further by learning about upstanders! 💪 What does it mean to be an upstander? It’s about standing up for ourselves and our friends when it matters most! 👥💥
Let’s continue to be brave, kind, and proactive—because together, we can make our school a safer and stronger place! 🙌💙

Our students enjoyed a fantastic visit to the FFA Petting Zoo, hosted by our Ag department. Thanks to everyone who helped make this wonderful experience possible!
Mr. VanNote, Officer Ryan, and Mr. Jones came into the 3rd grade classrooms this week to speak about how they help people with their jobs. 3rd graders then worked on writing about someone they knew that helped people that they consider a hero.
Our fifth graders were fortunate to hear from guest speaker Margurette Carter yesterday. A respected educator, mentor, and active Rantoul community member, Mrs. Carter shared her life experiences. Thank you, Mrs. Carter, for inspiring our students!
Clara Peterson students will be bussed over to the FFA petting zoo throughout the day today. Each grade level will spend about 45 minutes at the high school before returning to Clara Peterson.
We are looking to add to our team for the 2025-2026 school year with some positions available immediately.

The Ford County Attendance Initiative would like to give some tips to help students get to school as much as possible and limit our chronic absenteeism! Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before school. Establish a bedtime and morning routine. Plan trips and appointments outside of school hours if possible. Minimize screen time before bedtime to help achieve restful sleep. Ask school staff to help if your child is having anxiety about school. Have a back up plan to get to school if something comes up. Let's work together to help better student attendance at our schools. Be Present, Be Powerful!
