Dear CCSD21 families,
As we move toward the final month of the school year, please make note of these key dates and reminders:
The online registration portal will open on Monday, May 3, for returning students. All current CCSD21 students must register for the 2021-2022 school year through our online portal.
Snapcodes (unique codes matched to each student) will be emailed to parents next week. Using the student’s Snapcode during registration will help families save time by reviewing and verifying pre-populated information already on file.
Students who will be new to CCSD21 next school year can register now! This includes new incoming kindergarten students.
Registration information, for new students and returning students, is available at ccsd21.org/registration.
Please spread the word to family, friends, and neighbors!
Thanks to a grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF), CCSD21 will soon purchase and install one solar panel at each of our three middle schools.
“We’re thrilled to accept this grant and look forward to installing one solar panel each at Cooper, Holmes, and London,” said Dr. Michael Connolly, CCSD21 Superintendent. “Having this real-life tool at our students’ fingertips deepens their passion for science and exploration. Thanks to the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation for providing an opportunity for discovery our students wouldn’t have access to otherwise.”
The grant supports the installation of a 1 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system at each school. While the system is relatively small, students will see first-hand how sunlight is converted into electricity and can monitor electricity generation in real time.
CCSD21 will next solicit bids for the installation of the solar panels. Installation will take place during the 2021-2022 school year.
In partnership with local organizations, the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) National Drug Take Back Day is this Saturday, April 24. Take this opportunity to safely get rid of expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs in your home. The service is free and anonymous, and there are many Take Back locations in our community:
