Team CIS would like to honor three of our very own Veterans. Mr. Peterson for his service in the Air Force along with Mr. Lennox and Mrs. Potts for their service in the Army.
We thank all of our Veterans for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to something bigger than themselves. Our freedom is a gift, and we grateful for those who have served to protect it.

Carterville High School students as part of their Future Educators Rising class, spent the day at CIS observing teachers and working in classrooms. This is a unique partnership for pre-service educators looking to get a feel for the work and decide on their future plans. Thanks for Mrs. Clark at CHS for partnering with us and providing her students this opportunity.
In honor of Veterans Day, there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Today and every day, we thank the brave men and women who have served our country. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice!
Students will return on Thursday, November 12.

We would like to thank Ameren and the Illinois Raptor Center for bringing the assembly Wild About Wildlife to our school. Students learned about birds of prey and the way Ameren partners with wildlife resources to not only protect birds, but support their delivery of electricity and natural gas. Jack was a great storyteller and Jane seamlessly weaved in the live bird demonstrations. It was a cool event. Be sure to ask your child about it!

Her time has left lasting impressions on many of us and I know we all wish her the absolute best as she will be missed.
