Greenview Community School District

We are so proud of our Junior High Cross Country runners that run in our co-op with Illini Central! We have some GREAT young runners!!! Congratulations on a great season!

Please help us spread the word: We are getting many questions and inquiries about an uptick of COVID-19 in Greenview and Menard County. We hope we can continue to attend school everyday but need everyone to continue to work together. Right now no plans have changed Greenview CUSD #200 intends to continue with students in person. Everyone needs to continue to make good choices and not panic. We have many resources to consult with on any possible issues. We need everyone to remain vigilant and make good choices. If a student or family member has been exposed to COVID-19 or needs to be tested they need to make sure to quarantine and do not come to campus while waiting for test results. This includes anyone with symptoms. PLEASE email a staff member or message the page if you have questions. If anyone in the household is positive or needs testing all students in the household need to stay at home from school. We understand it is hard but PLEASE make sure to follow this rule. All it takes is one slip up and we could end up needing to close campus for a long period of time. Many families have made sacrifices to keep school going and we are so amazed at how well families have communicated issues. We have all worked so hard to keep it going and would like to make it safely as long as we can, but will not risk the health of the school and community if there is an outbreak. It is also important to remember that most cases at this time can be treated by medical professionals pretty effectively and people are making nice recoveries. Please remember not to panic and many great people stand ready to help if you or your family has challenges. We remain stronger together!

This morning one of our students Mason found a hurt owl by the Greenview Park. Mason flagged down Rick head of building and grounds and let Rick know. We worked with Illinois Department of Natural resources to get the owl to the Illinois Raptor Center in Decatur to get treatment. We are proud of Mason for stepping up and alerting adults! We will update everyone on the owl as we learn more.

Proud of the 2 new members of the 100 club! These 2 did awesome counting!

We have a new shipment of pink masks! We will be selling them to raise money to be donated to the American Cancer Society. The price will be $10 per mask. We have 100 and they will go fast. If you like to purchase one stop by the unit office and see Jessica or send money in with a student. We are looking in to selling other Bulldog masks we have. We will update everyone as we have more information.

Help spread the word! Some important dates are coming up for school health forms!

A few major updates moving in to a new week- We are so proud of our students and staff as we have started the year. We thank everyone for taking the Corona protocols seriously. Menard County is on the warning list put out by the state now. This does not change what we do at our school- we will continue to clean and work hard to keep our school safe. CUSD #200 asks everyone continues to work hard and be smart about risks we are taking outside of school. If you are not feeling well PLEASE stay home. We completely understand and taking risks is not worth the school having to close. This week is our fall homecoming week and red ribbon week.

We have a few updates for our families with Seniors! *We will be administering the SAT for Seniors at the school on September 23, 2020, followed by the ASVAB for students interested in pursuing the military. The SAT will begin at the start of school, and should be completed by late morning. The students have been given a form for parents/guardians to sign allowing them to leave after the test is completed. A reminder that this is the SAT originally scheduled for Spring 2020, and rescheduled for Fall 2020 due to COVID-19. *We have discussed and sent information to Seniors regarding a live FASFA webinar for families who would like to participate. We would highly encourage attending one of these training's, because it provides beneficial information about the FASFA process. Since we are limiting visitors on campus, this virtual presentation will be our substitute for in-person training on campus. If you have any further questions, please contact Mr. Hoerbert or Mrs. Hobbs at the school. Have a wonderful day!

Sunday evening updates: -Pre-K continues as scheduled for Greenview students. We had an amazing 1st week. Thank you for everyone working so hard to get this together, our little Bulldogs are doing an amazing job! -CBE students that attend PORTA will not go to school tomorrow. We will update everyone when a plan is put in place how CBE will move ahead. -We are excited to offer free food for students and children under the age of 18 in our community . If you have younger students that may be interested please call the office they do not have to be students of our school to get food. -If your student has any health issues please make sure to call the office in the mornings. Everyone has done awesome so far working together. Please contact us if you have questions on the rules about what you should do. Students are masked up and socially distancing in school so that goes a long way in stopping the spread. Each illness is handled on a case by case basis. We have an awesome team of medical professionals helping us deal with this challenge. -A student or staff member with a fever over 100.4 needs to stay at home as well as any family members that come to campus. We appreciate everyone following this rule, fever seems to be the major culprit in spreading. With it being a high allergy time we are trying to be reasonable about who to send home. We appreciate all the support and positive thoughts as we move deeper in the school year. We thank everyone for following protocol and hope we can continue this great start to the school year! -Mr. Heavner

We have a couple technology updates for families. Students all have been using devices at school much more than in the past. Everyone has been doing great so far! Please talk with your students about using technology safely. We have acquired hot spots for internet access at home. If you NEED to get one for your student please contact Mr. Heavner. Please understand they will work only with school devices and will have filters for only school work web pages to work. Parents will need to make arrangements to pick these up if you are interested. These also take a few days to get up and going as we activate them. They will be a huge help for the students and staff. We are working hard to make sure these all work well and students get the needed materials to learn. Please call if we can help!
