On Election Day, voters in McLean County will decide on a proposed County Schools Facility Tax (commonly known as a “one-cent tax” or “1% sales tax”) to fund school safety, student support and facility improvements, while providing property tax relief to homeowners by offering an alternative funding source for our schools and all McLean County public schools.
For detailed information about the one-cent tax referendum and how it will impact our schools, visit www.april1cent.info and vote on or before Tuesday, April 1.

5th grade parents, mark your calendars!
Coin wars begin March 17h
Our 5th grade Wax Museum is quickly approaching. If you're looking to see Beyonce in her Grammy's dress, Jim Thorpe wow you with his wealth of knowledge (and athletic ability), or Neil Armstrong tell you about his trip to space, then please plan to visit.
Bring in your coins as we will still be using coins to "start" these wax figures.
IAR Testing is approaching and our 3rd-5th graders would love snacks to power them through their testing sessions. We would appreciate anything you are willing to provide.
Is your child missing a clothing item, water bottle, etc.? It could be in our lost and found. We have an abundance of items. If you would like to come look through our lost and found, please come to the school. We would be happy to help you find your lost items.
See you tonight!
