Mid-term

Just a reminder that mid-term for the 1st quarter is this week. Hopefully things are progressing nicely for all of our students. However, if you are notified that your child is behind in a subject, don't hesitate to contact our teachers to discuss the issue. The earlier that the family and school can intervene together, the more likely the issue can be corrected. Also, don't wait for mid-terms to check the progress of your student, use our TeacherEase program! For more information about TeacherEase, contact your child's school.

Have a great day!

Pride

I travel a lot for my job. Wherever I go in this great state of ours, the question is always asked "where are you from?" I proudly announce that I'm the Superintendent at Lawrence County CUSD #20 in Lawrenceville Illinois. Many times the response will be "Oh, the town with the 4 state basketball championships?" or "Isn't that were Marty Simmons is from?" along with other similar type questions. I proudly answer "yes" to all of these types of inquires.

TeacherEase

I wanted to remind everyone that you have the ability to follow your child's progress by utilizing the TeacherEase program. You can access the TeacherEase program by visiting the district website at www.cusd20.com or visiting your child's school website. When you are at these websites, simply scroll down the page until you see login information on the right hand side. If you are new to the district or haven't gotten a TeacherEase login username and password, please contact your child's school and they can help you set it up.

The First Day!

The bells ring and the doors open. Students off all ages enter freshly cleaned shining halls. Pre-K - 12th graders with backpacks and lunchboxes make their way through the crowded halls slowly moving into their classrooms. Teachers smile and greet all of the fresh excited faces. These are the first days of school everywhere!

Welcome Back!

I wanted to take a brief minute to welcome all of the faculty, staff, students and parents back to the Lawrence County CUSD #20! The year "officially" begins with students for a full-day of student attendance on Friday August 17th. Teachers will be participating in two days of training during Teacher Institute days on Wednesday August 15th and Thursday August 16th. We are so excited to have students and staff back and look forward to another outstanding year in our district!

October is Bullying Awareness Prevention Month and Red Ribbon Week

As many of you may be aware October is "Bullying Awareness Prevention Month." This month spotlights a problem in our society that is age old but continues to show no sign of stopping. One of the issues at hand is a clear definition of bullying. So what is bullying?

Common Core Standards

Many of you may have heard of the term "Common Core Standards," many may not have heard of it. The Common Core Standards are being phased in, replacing the old outdated Illinois Learning Standards.

Illinois State Board of Education Talking Points Regarding Common Core Standards and New Testing

I have attached a link to several "talking points" provided by the Illinois State Board of Education regarding the new Common Core Standards and the changes that will be taking place with the state assessments. If you have any questions feel free to contact any of our building principals or myself. This is an exciting time to be a part of our district. We will soon be opening up a new Lawrenceville High School. We have a wonderful elementary school that serves as a terrific educational facility for our children and teachers.

New Website

I want to welcome everyone to the new and improved web presence for Unit #20. Our hope is that our new site is not only user friendly and attractive but that it will provide useful information for all three of our schools as well as the district. To visit our schools simply click on the "School" tab in the upper right of your screen. You can then visit Lawrenceville High School, Parkview Junior High and Parkside Elementary. All three school sites will have similar features such as a calendar or staff information pages.
