Go out and see that full moon coming up! Pictures don’t do it justice!

The Mason City Church has a food pick up for families interested this evening between 5:30-7:30. Address is 853 North Main in Mason City. You will need identification or a bill at your home to receive food. Please practice social distancing at the pick up. You can find information on the Facebook page if you search the mana project. Please remember the school playground and ball fields are close. Community members may use the track and the green spaces if you practice social distancing. Please respect this request or we will have to close the track as well. DO NOT enter the building unless you have a pre approved appointment. We appreciate everyone following these rules. Mr. Hoerbert and Mrs. Hobbs sent an email to seniors- please have the seniors check and reply. We are arranging a zoom with the senior class to set up some details.

https://youtu.be/LNWeiej_HpY Time for the Pledge! Great job Ben!

Great work this morning Ainsley! Please send along videos of the Pledge so we can use them in the mornings. https://youtu.be/oMG_ZEr9U24

https://youtu.be/0npwB4GHo9s Good morning! We will start posting the Pledge daily, as we say the Pledge every morning at school. If you’d like to send a video of you or your student saying the pledge please do and we will post them to the site.

We are so lucky to have such an amazing staff that cares about children. Today Mrs. Swaar prepared the kits pictured on the table s for her high school art students so they can continue the work they are doing. This is another great example of the way staff has had to think outside of the box to continue student learning! We are so thankful to Mrs. Swaar and the entire staff for all the hard work they have put in!

There have been a few questions regarding yearbook orders. We are still selling 2019-2020 yearbooks. If you are interested in purchasing one, you can order online at http://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A01799900. Please email me with any questions at jthompson@greenviewschools.org.

This week will be a virtual spirit week. Please send your photos to yearbook@greenviewschools.org.

There will be a Facebook live at 4:00 pm Sunday afternoon on the school page. Mr. Heavner will provide information and updates about updates for student work and things going on around the school district. Please join us if possible!

Good morning! We have a very IMPORTANT request- we are asking the kindest way possible. When the staff drops food or items off at homes PLEASE stay at least 10 feet away from our crew. It is so important that we all practice good social distancing. Everyone has been awesome so far and we are doing great things helping each other in this crazy time. We want to make sure we do all we can to prevent the spread to our team and the community. I do expect more information today from the State of Illinois on the status of school closings. We will share what we learn at the earliest convenience. Hang in there everyone! -Mr. Heavner

On Friday, March 20th, Governor Pritzker issued an executive order requiring residents to “stay at home” effective Saturday, March 21 at 5:00 pm, through the end of April 7. As part of the Governor’s order, he announced that school will remain closed through at least April 8. During this stay at home order, essential school personnel may still report to work as long as they are practicing social distancing. The governor’s office has assured school districts that school personnel involved in providing meals will not be in violation of the governor’s executive order and that we can, and should, continue with our program. The Superintendents’s office and school staff will work hard to ensure this continues. We recognize that this development may raise questions about the impact on students, staff, and families as well as the school’s vital role of providing meals to students and families while schools are closed. We anticipate further guidance and details from the Illinois State Board of Education next week. Right now there are many questions we cannot answer and need to work through things. Schools in modern times have never faced an issue like this. We plan to hold a graduation ceremony and the traditional Spring programs best we can when this all blows over. I ask everyone to take a deep breath and be kind. We will get through this together. It is important to encourage your students to do the best they can. This time should be focused around learning what you can. Be there for each other. Please use this opportunity to focus on staying safe and helping to slow the spread of the virus. As always, thank you for your patience and support as we all work through the COVID-19 Pandemic. As you have seen, this situation is evolving rapidly. As events unfold, we will continue to communicate in a timely and transparent manner. Ryan Heavner Superintendent of Schools

(312) 841-7078 will be a number families can text message to get information to staff during this school disruption. Please identify who is sending the message if you need help with something g. Please spread the word. We will do our best to monitor it. Food deliveries are getting ready to roll out now. Families in the backpack program will get delivery today as well. We will be running a route this afternoon to deliver spirit wear and books that came in. We think there is another order of books still out in the wild we have yet to receive. When we get them they will go out. Please contact your child’s teacher and keep up on learning best we can. I am so proud of everyone that has worked hard on things this week. Hang in there everyone! -Mr. Heavner

We plan to deliver the Bulldog Spring Apparel that came in tomorrow(Friday) to homes in our district. If you would like to be added to the lunch deliveries please let us know. It is our pleasure to help in this project. We are thrilled with how well it’s going. We ask families that are getting food to have a cooler or box by the door to keep food dry. This would be a huge help if families do not come to the door. We want to avoid wet food for the kids. Hang in there everyone! We appreciate everyone doing the best they can. We appreciate our kitchen staff and drivers they are amazing people and I am so thankful for the way they have stepped up! Please be there for each other. This is such a tough time for many, show people kindness and happiness where you can. -Mr. Heavner -

We LOVE our health care workers! We appreciate all they are doing to help others during this tough stretch in our country! We are so thankful for you!

Today’s food deliveries went out. Please contact school if you have any issues. We are so thankful for our kitchen team and our transport team!

We thank everyone who voted in today’s election. The referendum for Greenview School District passed with a 2 to 1 majority. We are excited we will have this opportunity to work to improve our facility to give our students a great place to learn and grow. The school board, administrators, educators, staff and students appreciate your support of Greenview CUSD #200. It’s a GREAT day to be a BULLDOG!!! -Mr. Heavner

3 of our seniors Landon, Athena and Logan are serving as election judges today. We are proud of their participation in the election today!
