Greenview Community School District

We hope everybody has a fun day as this is our last day for students before Christmas break! Rumor is a sled with a reindeer has been seen moving around to Greenview this morning and there may be a special person greeting kids this morning! If students and staff want, they are welcome to wear Christmas gear today to school, including Santa hats! Let's make this a great last day to the semester!

There are a large number of families in our community that have lost power this evening due to transmission poles snapping in the country. The school will be open as a warming center for anyone in need as it is anticipated power will not be restored for a few hours. If you need a warm safe place to stay warm tonight please call the Menard County Sheriff's office at (217) 632-2273 and they will make arrangements for you to come to the school warming center. Please stay safe and warm tonight everyone! We thank the power crews for working hard to restore the power in this brutal weather.

As of tonight we are planning to have school tomorrow morning for the students. We are going to go out early and evaluate conditions. As of tonight conditions are good to go for tomorrow but it will be cold. Bundle up Bulldogs! If you have challenges or issues traveling call school and let us know. We appreciate the families that are planning to bring kids in on some of our bus routes as we cover a large rural area. We look forward to the last week of school of 2025 before we head to Christmas break!

Santa is pushing his visit to the Greenview CIA building back until the 20th so everyone can arrive safely! Santa will be staying at the North Pole today - he wants the families of Greenview to stay safe and warm.
