Carterville Intermediate School

This Thursday morning, CIS students will have the opportunity to visit the Carterville High School to watch this year’s fall play, The Great Gatsby. Students will be out of the building from approximately 8:15 am to 10:45 am.

We will be collecting a $1 donation from students, which will go directly to support the CHS Fine Arts Department.

This experience provides our students with a glimpse of our high school fine arts program and opportunities for their future!

Tomorrow, students are encouraged to wear red, white and blue as we honor Veterans Day.

I’m thrilled to share that Carterville Intermediate School has once again earned an Exemplary Summative Designation, placing us in the top 10% of more than 3,000 elementary schools across Illinois. This is our fifth time receiving this incredible honor!

This recognition isn’t about one moment or one measure. It’s the result of thousands of tiny tweaks made by teachers who inspire, students who strive, families who support, and staff who show up every single day to make learning come alive.

To our parents and community, thank you for your trust and partnership. To our staff, your passion and professionalism make CIS a place where kids grow, thrive, and belong. And to our students, you’re the reason we do what we do.

Together, we’ve built something special. Together, we continue to prove that consistent effort creates lasting excellence.

Title teachers are available outside the gym, social workers and the nurse are available in their offices, and Mrs. Tyner and I will have a table outside the office to help you connect to Rooms, our CUSD communication tool.

Today, we kicked off Quarter 2 with an exciting assembly in the gym. This quarter, our PBIS focus is: Stop, Listen, and Choose Wisely.

Our school-wide goal is to stay under 20 office referrals related to not listening and defiance. If we reach our goal, we will celebrate with a Winter Wonderland event right before winter break.

We were excited to welcome special guests from Carterville High School, who spoke about how listening and following directions have helped them succeed in band and football. They also joined our CIS students in a fun, interactive game that tested everyone’s listening skills.

The kickball tournament is underway! Thank you to Mtn Dew Park for letting us use your facility - the students are having a blast!

Our lost and found area is full and will be donated over fall break. We have encouraged students to claim their items, but could use your help! Please remind them to take one last look before the end of the day on Friday.

Parents - Permission slips for students to join our Term 1 Reward at Mtn Dew Park went home last Friday. Students need to return these by Wednesday in order to attend. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.

That’s a wrap on Homecoming Week 2025! Our students had a blast showing their school spirit throughout the theme days and during today’s parade. 🧡💙

We are thrilled to announce that CIS has met our PBIS goal!
