Dear Thomasboro Grade School families,
I write to ask for your patience and understanding as our district navigates the latest changes to the COVID-19 guidance and rules for Illinois schools.
A short time ago, an Illinois judge ruled on a lawsuit filed by more than 700 parents across the state that challenged state-mandated COVID-19 mitigations. We were not named in the lawsuit, and the ruling does not apply to our school district.
Currently, we are in the process of reviewing the judge’s decision. At this time, we will continue to follow all mask mandates and emergency rules currently in place. We will communicate with you as soon as possible if anything changes.
Please do not encourage a disruption to students' school day tomorrow by suggesting they not follow our current protocols and procedures. If we find that this decision that has been handed down, that pertains to specific districts, affects what we need to do at the school, we will make the changes required.
Until then, I ask for your patience as we review this decision, and any impact that it may have on our current mitigations and procedures.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, teachers, and staff. While it has been a difficult year, we will continue to push forward together.
Sincerely,
Bonnie McArthur
Superintendent
Thomasboro Grade School
Thomasboro Grade School will be closed tomorrow in anticipation of the inclement weather. This will be a traditional snow day. We hope that the students and staff will have the opportunity to enjoy the snowy weather. We will make a determination regarding school on Thursday tomorrow in the late afternoon. Stay safe and stay warm.
Inclement Weather Update
Dear TGS Families:
We are anticipating inclement weather this week. In the event we are unable to hold school as normal, we want to share some information.
During the winter months, we face the need to use “Snow Days.” Those are emergency snow days and they require that we add instructional days at the end of the school year. We have been allowed to establish “E-Learning” days which allows students to attend school remotely in the event of a school closure emergency, such as a winter storm. E-Learning days are instructional days and require your child to attend school online, so they are not “made up” at the end of the school year.
Administration will monitor developments, such as weather conditions, to prepare for an E-Learning day or Snow Day, if needed. When an E-Learning Day is implemented information will be shared with families as soon as possible. Families will be notified by email, text messages, phone calls and the District website.
We appreciate your support as we navigate the challenges of winter weather together. Stay warm and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Bonnie McArthur
Superintendent
