Huge thank you to MJH students and staff for being flexible today! Thanks NCHS staff for having 7th and 8th and NGS for making room for 5th and 6th while the power was out. Thanks to our amazing bus drivers for being available to transport. We had power issues all day so newsletters may be delayed. Grateful to all for the trust and support! 💙

MJH families - MJH is currently without power, which means no water or restroom service. We are bussing students from MJH to NGS to finish their learning day. We will shuttle bus the MJH walkers back to MJH by 2:55 for pick up. Everyone will have their normal bus service home at the end of the day. If you have questions - please call NGS 815.695.5143 or call/text Mrs. Turman 815-416-5814 or Ms. Chase 815-416-5659. We are continuing our regularly scheduled school day. Thank you!
