Parents and Guardians,
Daily student attendance is vital for your student's success at school. Please help your student be successful by making sure they are present and on time every day. Remember, if your child is sick they should not come to school. Please contact the school office, at 309-973-2001 to report their absence.

Medical Exclusion
Students must show proof of a school physical and updated immunizations by October 15, 2022, or be subject to exclusion from school.
Ninth Grade Requirements: Illinois School Physical, up-to-date immunizations, and dental examination.
Twelfth Grade Requirements: Up-to-date immunizations, two doses of the MCV vaccine are required for the 12th grade; however, only one dose is required if the first dose was received at 16 years of age or older.
Parking Pick-up Information
We would like to remind you of the student parking guidelines and parent/guardian drop-off & pick-up procedures. We have received complaints from local area businesses that student and parent/guardian cars are taking up spots at their locations. They have indicated to us that they will start having cars towed that are parked there while not utilizing their business.
It is asked that you refrain from parking in Dollar General’s parking lot as well as the funeral home across the street. While the parking lot at Galesburg Area Vocational Center on Fremont Street is district-owned, it is reserved for construction vehicles at this time.
Student Drivers: Park in the designated student parking lot. Once parked, please make sure your parking pass is displayed.
Parent/Guardian Pick-Up: Use the Dayton Street entrance and proceed to West Circle Drive.
We appreciate you using the designated areas for parking (students) and getting your student to and from school. Our hope is that we maintain good relationships with our business neighbors while keeping our students safe.
