Heat Index and Air Quality Impact on Outdoor Activit...

Dear CCSD 21 Parents and Guardians, We are looking forward to welcoming our students this week! As you may be aware, this week we are anticipating the hottest conditions of the summer.  The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority of CCSD 21.  As a result of those projections and the number of poor air quality days we recently experienced due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, all CCSD 21 schools will utilize the following guidelines for determining whether students may go outside for recess, PE, or athletics:   Attached please find helpful reference guides from the EPA & CDC and National Weather Service. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to an incredible school year! Respectfully, Dr. Michael Connolly Superintendent of CCSD 21

First Responder Training at Holmes Middle School

Dear parents, guardians and staff members:  In cooperation with our local municipalities and first responder agencies, District 21 continually strives to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff while on our campuses. We believe in a multi-faceted approach that includes conducting periodic training exercises as a key facet of school safety.  Holmes Middle School will be hosting a planned active shooter and disaster drill led by the Wheeling Police and Fire Departments on August 10. We wanted to make sure you were aware of what will be taking place as members of the community may notice emergency vehicles and personnel around our campus. Thank you to all of our community partners, including parents, for their commitment to keeping our schools a safe place for our children. Sincerely,                             Dr. Michael Connolly Superintendent
