Illinois schools are required to survey parents, teachers, and students each year to gather information about the school's climate. This survey is called the 5 Essentials Survey. The information collected will be presented on the Illinois School Report Card. This data will not be connected to you or your child. Parents, please take 15 minutes of your time and complete the survey at: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/. Thank you for your time!

Good luck to our Lady Rangers as they open up regional play tonight! They will face Pinckneyville 204. The game will be played at Elverado with a 6:45 start time. Elverado stated that their sidewalk is clear but the parking lot is still slick in areas so please take caution. Gates will open at 5:00 for the first game. GO RANGERS!
