REMINDER GRS PARENTS AND GUARDIANS - Starting TODAY, September 23rd we will be starting our new after-school pick-up procedures. Parents that pick-up their son/daughter will line-up starting on Washington Ave. and wrap around to 2nd St. Students will be dismissed out the gym doors and lined up at numbered signs. We are asking to help with traffic flow, ALL cars then use the right turn lane on 2nd St to turn onto Mulberry St. Please see the image before for more information.
WCHS and Iroquois County Unit 9 extends heartfelt condolences to the Colson Carley family and to the Cissna Park School community. We are with you through these tough times as you heal and find peace.
