Beginning September 1st all meals, breakfast and lunch will be free for students! The Illinois State Board of Education announced that the USDA has made it possible for schools to take advantage of the meal program beginning September 1st until December 31st. What does this mean for your child? There will be no charge for breakfast or lunch during that Sept.1 through Dec. 31st time period. Any charges from Aug. 17th - Aug. 31st are still owed to the district. We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity.

Student dismissal each day will remain 1:15 until further notice. There will be no noon dismissal times to allow for more educational time and to hopefully prevent any confusion. September 11 students will be dismissed at 1:15.

We need your help as we try to make sure we are doing our part should we be called upon to provide information to the health department for contact tracing. Due to the COVID situation and needing seating charts in classrooms and on buses, no non-bus riders will be allowed to ride the bus. We are trying to limit bus numbers to help with student spacing on the bus. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. I appreciate all the help you have given to us.

Return to School Plan

As we work to prepare for the return to school this fall the Clay City CUSD #10 Board of Education would like to share our back to school plan. As we receive new information and guidelines we will change to make sure that we are compliant with those directives. We are concerned with the health and safety of our students, staff, and entire community, and we want to make sure we are doing everything possible to keep them healthy. If you have any questions or comments please call Mrs. Croy at 676-1431 or you can email ccroy@claycityschools.org as well. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this uncertain time.

Face coverings are required for entry into the building and must be worn the entire time in the building.

School doors will open at 8:00 and we will dismiss at 1:15.
