April is state testing month. On April 17th, 9th-11th grades will be taking the PSAT/SAT. These tests are required and if students miss the testing date, they will have to make it up. It is important that students be on time and that they have a good breakfast. This year the test will be taken on Chromebooks, so it is important that they are charged and ready on the 17th.
Seniors will not be in attendance and have been told that they are to use the day to visit a college or trade school, job shadow, or volunteer. They were given a permission slip in a meeting that they must turn into the attendance office when they return so that they are not marked as absent that day. There are extra slips the office for students who were absent or misplaced theirs. Please contact the high school office if you have any questions.

Staunton Schools was recently awarded a grant through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). The IDPH was seeking one rural school in Illinois to engage in School Health Index (SHI) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiatives. Fortunately, after an application and interview process, Staunton was the grant recipient. On Thursday, the SHI & SRTS committees participated in a walking audit and planning session with SRTS expert Mark Fenton from Tufts University in Massachusetts. A big thanks to all committee members who donated their time!
