Iroquois School District

First day of school elementary class pictures!

Yesterday was our first day of the 2024-2025 school year. We started off the morning with the pledge and announcements, as we do every morning, before heading to the gym for an assembly with Mr. Ruth. Elementary open house raffle winners were drawn at the end of the assembly. One student from each grade received a $10 gift certificate to the concession stand.

Good morning! After the drop off of students this morning, one of our buses was in an accident on the way to park it for the day. The accident happened on the junction of Hwy 14 and Ottawa Street. There were NO STUDENTS involved with minor injuries to our driver. No injuries reported in the other vehicle involved. The fire department and law enforcement are on the scene cleaning up the area. Let me know if you have any questions.
