Again this year, we will be implementing a child sexual abuse prevention program in our schools as the result of the passage of Public Act 097-1147, also known as Erin’s Law. This law expanded upon previous legislation and required child sexual abuse prevention education for children beginning in pre-kindergarten and continuing through all grade levels.

Our MacArthur community had a perfectly beautiful Walk or Bike to School Day today. If your child was unable to walk or bike to school today we are encouraging families to go for a walk or bike ride over the weekend to celebrate the importance of healthy exercising routines, but most of all, to spend quality family time together! As a reminder, this Wednesday, September 21 is our first half-day this school year. Please note that on half-days all Kindergarten – 6 graders will be released at 11:40am. Kindergarteners still have school on half-days now that we run full-day. Thank you for making pick-up arrangements as needed for our half-days. ***Para leer el correo electrónico en español presione el enlace: Mensaje 9-16-16... Read more
