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!

Morning drop off procedures: When the bus has the stop arm extended and children are exiting the bus at the playground gate, please remember to stay behind the stop arm and wait until the bus has moved to release your children from the car. We have had multiple instances of children being dropped off and walking in front of the bus. Thank you for your cooperation. The safety of our children is always our top priority.
