Good Luck, Karson Kelly!
Karson Kelly received an enthusiastic send off yesterday! Students and staff lined the halls to cheer him on as he and 8 other athletes in the Crunching Cavs Wrestling Club headed on their way to state. This is Karson's second year qualifying for the state level. Best of luck to Karson and his teammates!
Spring Play
The annual Spring Play will be this Wednesday, March 12th at 7:00 pm in the gymnasium. Come join the cast while the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.
5Essentials Survey
Every year, ISBE requires all school districts to distribute the 5Essentials Survey to students, staff, and parents. The 5Essentials Survey is a critical component of the school improvement and accountability system in Illinois. Districts are rated on the participation and responses of these three stakeholder groups on the Illinois School Report Card each year.
Please help our district by taking 10 minutes of your time to fill out the 2024-2025 5Essentials Survey for Ladd School. We greatly appreciate your time and support!
