Dear Parent or Guardian,
Yesterday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced masks will be required for students, teachers and staff at pre-kindergarten-12th grade schools. The new measure is part of the state’s ongoing effort to combat a new surge as the Delta variant rapidly spreads.
The mask requirement is inclusive of youth sports and activities, with masks now required for all indoor extracurriculars and sports. In line with CDC guidance, masks are not required for activities outdoors where transmission risks and rates are lower.
Thank you for your support of our students, and I look forward to a new school year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Artman

The Board of Education voted to conduct a Feasibility Study with Massac Unit #1 at the board meeting in July. The decision to do this was to gain information. Due to the closing of EEI, the school board wants to gain as much information as possible in order to make the best decisions for our students and community. At this time, no other decisions have been made with Massac Unit #1.
