Good morning! The after school program and flag football program have been canceled for this evening, Wednesday, September 21st. All students will be dismissed at 3:00 as usual today. Please make arrangements if your student planned to stay after. Thank you!
Good evening TGS Families,
Due to recent events that have happened in our community, tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21st, we will operate under a soft lockdown. During a soft lockdown, students and staff are able to move throughout the building, but remain inside, for example no outside recess. No visitors are allowed in the building during a soft lockdown. If you need to sign your student out early or access the building for any reason, please contact the school to make arrangements. There will be police presence during arrival, dismissal, and periodically throughout the day.
If you choose to keep your child home tomorrow, their absence will be excused.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. McArthur or Mrs. White at 217-643-3275.
Thank you for your cooperation during this time.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Today, we were made aware of a parent that posed a possible threat. Once we were made aware of the threat we went on a Soft Lockdown.
Law Enforcement spent the afternoon at our school, and prior to dismissal they were able to apprehend the individual.
We take all threats seriously as the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Again, the issue was resolved prior to dismissal, and we would like to thank the Champaign County Sheriffs Office, and everyone who had a part in quickly resolving this situation.
Sincerely,
Bonnie McArthur
Superintendent
Thomasboro Grade School
Remember, fundraiser order forms are due tomorrow! Please turn the forms and money into your child’s teacher!
Flag football practice has been canceled for tonight.
