Good Morning, we just wanted to send out a reminder that the grade school will be dismissing at 1:50 pm and the high school at 2:00 pm until further notice. If you have a student that drives to school we ask that they arrive no earlier than 7:35 am. Also, if you have a student in the junior or senior high school you will need to access Teacher Ease to pay for the course fee(s) that were not applied at the time of registration or contact the high school office. Thank you for your cooperation during this unprecedented back to school transition.

There will be a 6th-12th grade girls and boys cross country practice and sign-up on Tuesday, August 11th at 3:30 pm at the Cowden-Herrick track. If you are interested in running and cannot attend on Tuesday, please e-mail coach Lorton at cllorton@cowdenherrick.org

After much discussion, the IESA Board unanimously approved to cancel the regular season and IESA state series in the sports of boys and girls golf, boys baseball, girls softball, and boys and girls cross-country for the 2020-21 school year. There are no plans to try and re-schedule the activities or conduct them later in the school year in part due to if and when high schools in Illinois play their contests. Girls softball practice was scheduled to start July 27. The baseball and cross-country seasons were scheduled to start August 3. The Board delayed any decision on girls basketball. The first day of girls basketball practice is scheduled for August 31. The Board will meet again in late August to make a decision regarding girls basketball. No decisions regarding any other activities were made.
