We look forward to this great event and appreciate the great support!

Please help spread the word! Registration packets are being delivered to families on Wednesday this week. Please return them to the elementary office by Friday, August 7th. If you have moved to another district and we are not aware of it please let us know ASAP. Please let us know ASAP if you will have your students in our remote/home learning program to start the year as soon as you can. Please contact Mr. Turner or Mr. Heavner if you have questions. New students to our schools can be enrolled starting August 3rd, please call the office before you come to campus. Masks are required for visitors coming to campus. As a reminder fees are waived this year for registration. Thank you for your support and we are hopeful we can get school open for students on August 20th for our students! -Mr.Heavner

Information on the return to learn for our students is in the Facebook and web page. Please contact the office if you have questions. More information will be coming out over the next few weeks. We thank everyone for all the support during these crazy times!

There will be a Facebook live today at 11:30 am to share information and answer questions - please consider joining us!

We still have some student items left at school from last spring. This is the final call to pick them up. All items must be picked up by noon Wednesday or they will be donated to charity. Please call the office if you have any questions.

Here are the supply lists for Greenview Elementary. If you have a difficult time finding anything on them please do not worry about it as we will make sure every student has what they need to start school. Students in Greenview Junior Senior high should plan to have five notebooks and five folders. Jr/Sr high teachers will let students know what specific supplies are needed after classes begin. Jr/Sr High students will not have lockers this year. As of today we plan to issue every student a Chromebook to use at school and at home if needed. Please message the page or email staff members if you have questions. -Mr. Heavner

Tomorrow morning Ameren is making a repair to a line delivering power to the Village of Greenview. We will be without power a few hours. We will have to postpone lunch delivery until Friday. Sorry for any issues this may cause. Please message the school page or email Mr. Heavner if there are any immediate needs tomorrow morning. We plan to have the offices open at 10:00 am.

Happy 4th!

Please help us spread the word! Our teams continue to meet and plan for the start of the 20/21 school year. We are working to offer digital registration this year or delivering packets to homes. We will update everyone as we move ahead. We plan to have class from 8:00-2:00 Monday-Friday for all students. The 1st day students will attend on campus will be August 20th. We will offer remote learning for students if families are uncomfortable sending students to school. Details on this will come out as we develop these plans. Unfortunately with how quickly things change these days we are developing alternative plans in the event the State reverts back to a different phase. We will have a survey coming out this week for families to fill out to help us make decisions about school in the fall. This will be a google survey and the link will be sent out. We are working on student supply lists and hope to have them out this week. Please hang in there with us as we work to open CUSD #200 under these circumstances. We want to give our students all the opportunities we can as school resumes. Thank you for all the support! Mr. Heavner / Mr. Turner / Transition Team

Good afternoon- I hope everyone is staying healthy and well and summer is going great. I want to share some information about the upcoming year ahead. I am thrilled to say we are working hard to do our best to return all students to school in August. Our current goal will be all students on campus everyday of the week. We will most likely have an option for families uncomfortable to send to students back to continue remote learning if they choose. These are all currently being worked on and we will share as soon as we can. There are many things we are working through and we need to make sure we get it right. I promise I will update everyone as we make choices and plan in the weeks ahead. Communication during these times will be very important. We will do our best to spread the word across various platforms. I want to be very clear there are state guidelines we as a district must follow and I hope everyone respects the rules that are in place. We have many people to think of on campus and we must plan to limit exposure best we can. Please remember we all want the students back on campus and are playing the hand we have been dealt. We will do our best to make sure kids get the best educational experience we can offer. CUSD #200 will provide masks and face shields to all students and staff. As of today all people on campus when students return will be required to wear them. As with many things during the COVID pandemic things can change quick. We are planning on this scenario but it could change. If you have questions about this or concerns please feel free to contact me about this. I understand there is a wide range of feelings but we must follow the rules laid out by the health department. Kids will be eager to return to school. Everyone here wants this to happen! As always if we can help please let us know. The children need normalcy as much as we can give them and we all look forward to the COVID-19 Pandemic to be over. -Mr.Heavner

A message from Mr. Heavner

Happy Monday! We are in the process of arranging schedules for students next year, and we are still waiting on official guidance from the state regarding what this fall will look like. In the meantime, please send all HS student schedules to the school as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. If you have misplaced a schedule or need a new one, please reach out via email (shobbs@greenviewschools.org) or phone-call (217-968-2295). Also, tentative JH schedules were mailed at the end of last week. Please look those over and send them to the school as soon as you can. Thank you and have a fantastic day!

Summer work information

Good Evening- I want to thank everyone for continued support of our school and community as the 2019-2020 school year winds down. Over the last few weeks the staff has worked hard to finish the year the best we can. It has been incredible to see how everyone has come together supporting our students during this time. I cannot thank everyone enough for all they have done over these trying days. We held graduation and promotion ceremonies last weekend and celebrated some amazing students. I am extremely proud of the hard work the students have done. We have now started planning for the 2020-2021 school year. Some instruction has resumed at school such as our Drivers Eduction program. It has been nice to see Mr. Cameron working with the kids at school. I want to be very clear we intend to do the best we can to open school in August. The best outcome for all children will be to return to classrooms with teachers. The magic that occurs in classrooms is extremely difficult to make happen over technology. It is important for child development that they return to learning with their peers as soon as it can safely be done. The staff has been working hard to prepare the building for the return of students and there will be some major upgrades to the facility. Our teams are looking at various scenarios that may occur but I hope and pray that the state will be open in phase 4 and we will be able to resume educational opportunities for our students. It is important that kids return to school and we will do our best to come up with viable solutions to get students back to campus. We anticipate receiving information next week from the Illinois State Board of Education on the status of school for the Fall of 20. I ask everyone remains patient as we do our best to answer questions about how procedures may go. We have a great deal of planning to do ahead of us but we are eager to work hard to bring students back to school safely. At CUSD #200 we will do everything we can to provide for a safe learning environment. We take the COVID-19 threat seriously. We will stay vigilant as we prepare to open in August. We thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. Mr. Heavner

Saturday is the BIG DAY! The ABC News Channel 20 special on the GHS Class of 2020 will debut at 4:00 PM. They will also broadcast this on the News 20 webpage and Facebook. We appreciate everyone working so hard to get this together. This will be a wonderful program for the community to enjoy!

https://youtu.be/0m9cM5nx3SE Graduation Parade 2020! A great time!

Good evening everyone- the fireworks will start at 8:30 this evening at school and will last about 8 minutes total. It will be a good display as we honor the class of 2020! Families are welcome to sit at the track or the front school courtyard. Both areas will be great viewing areas. The fireworks will launch by the bus barn, we ask everyone to avoid going in that area after 7:30 pm. PLEASE remember to social distance this evening. It will be a great show. All are welcome to see the display. We are so proud of our students! Thank you to all who made today a great day!
