School On Post Super Bowl Monday

After driving last night during the Super Bowl's 3rd quarter, I wasn't prepared to cancel school. The roads were deteriorating but were passable. I decided to wait until the morning.
This morning the roads were clear and passable. The County, township, and State plows did a great job this morning. After consulting with neighboring districts, I determined that we would be in session this AM.
As always, feel free to call my office with thoughts or concerns.
Have a great day,
Mr. Curry

VIT Scholastic Bowl Match

I am sitting in the first home Scholastic Bowl Match hosted by the newly started VIT HS Scholastic Bowl Team. As of now, VIT has won the first game and is winning the second game. The team is doing well and having fun playing the match. Oh, I might add that the questions are far from easy. Good luck to the VIT squad in their first home match.

In a very interesting session at IETC conference on technology in education. Very student driven and centered - the way education can be. I am looking forward to sharing this info with our staff so they can continue to expand their technology usage.

Times are 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Wednesday and Thursday. The teachers are flexible and can meet before 4:00 or on another date, if necessary. If you haven't scheduled your Pre-K through 6th conference yet, call 309-758-5138. Remember, there is no school on Friday.
