Unfortunately, we are cancelling school for Thursday, November 2 (tomorrow), due to the water main break. This decision is based on the most current information from the water company.
There will be no athletic practices or home athletic events either.
An attempt will be made to reschedule the boys junior high basketball game. The coach will send out information as it is available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Currently the city of Mt. Pulaski is under a boil order due to a water main break. At this time we still plan to be in session tomorrow, barring any further problems.
Please send a water bottle with your child tomorrow if possible. There will also be bottled water made available in each building.
Please contact your building principal with any questions or concerns when the offices re-open tomorrow.

Good afternoon, Partners in Education!
We hope this email finds you well - keeping cool and enjoying your summer! School is just around the corner. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 16, 2023. The full school year calendar can be viewed here online: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1378/CUSD23/2817365/Calendar-2023-2024.pdf
Online registration will open on Monday, July 10, 2023. To complete registration, simply log into your TeacherEase parent account and follow the steps. All registration for returning students is online. If you do not have access to a device to register, you will need to come into the school between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on a weekday between August 3, and August 11, to register your student(s).
If you are using a cell phone to register, it works best to log into www.teacherease.com in a browser instead of using their app for registration.
If you have trouble logging into TeacherEase, you can contact us to work on your login issue:
High School - hfricke@mtpulaski.k12.il.us
Grade School - dlora@mtpulaski.k12.il.us
While registration will remain open for several weeks, we would love if you could help us out by registering early. This will help us ensure that grade 5-12 students get the size PE t-shirt they need to start the year off right!
Registration fees will automatically calculate at the end of the online registration process. If your child is not returning this school year, please email the appropriate school principal as indicated above.
Reach out if you have any questions. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Fricke & Mrs. Lora
