Dear Lombard, Silas Willard, and Steele Families,

Due to the approaching weather forecast for this evening, tonight's parent-teacher conferences have been postponed to ensure the safety of our families and staff.

We are currently working to identify a new conference date later in March. As soon as the date is confirmed, we will share that information so families can reschedule their conference times.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. The safety of our students, families, and staff remains our top priority.

Thank you, and please stay safe this evening.

Parent Teacher Conferences
If you have a student entering Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year and are interested in them being screened for the Begindergarten Program, please contact Jodi Keever at Silas Willard Elementary School to set up a screening, 309-973-2015.
Begindergarten is a full-day program designed for children who meet the age requirements for kindergarten but may benefit from an additional year of growth before entering a traditional kindergarten classroom. The program provides a supportive learning environment where students strengthen academic foundations while developing social, emotional, and self-regulation skills needed for kindergarten success. #Thisis205

Steele Stars - Two things to know for tomorrow, 10-22:
Grades 1,2,3,4 are going by bus to the high school to see the band and chorus perform on the football field. We leave at 12:30 and will be back by 2:00 PM. Since we will be outside, please have the student dress for the weather (50 degrees).
Wear orange for Unity Day. This will show our support to be kind and end bullying.

Our Steele buses are just leaving now. Our intercom system went out right before dismissal so it took a little longer to get everyone on buses.
