The Science Club has been busy! Today they made solar ovens to use on their field trip to Walnut point in October. Earlier this year they made homemade pickles and homemade ice cream.
A reminder to our parents, today is Wednesday which means an early 2:05 dismissal. Please make arrangements for early pick-ups and bus arrivals!
Tri-County Football Homecoming festivities will be held in Oakland on Friday, September 28th. There will be a Pep Rally at noon at Oakland for HS students only, and a parade that will begin at 2:45.
High School students are allowed to leave after 4th hour (11:18) for the Pep Rally. There will be a bus for the transportation of athletes only. The bus will return after the Pep Rally and will NOT stay for the parade. If you would like your HS student to be allowed to leave after 4th hour, you must contact the school to give permission before the end of the day on Thursday. Students will not be allowed to leave without permission.
Junior High and Elementary students will be allowed to leave at 12:07 to enjoy the parade with their family if you wish. You must contact the office to give your permission as well as the designated pick-up person for your student in grades Prek through 8 before the end of the day on Thursday.
All students in Prek-8 who are leaving early will be dismissed at 12:07 and will be brought out to the front of the school as a group to be picked up by their designated person (just as they are dismissed at the end of the day for normal pick up). This is to minimize classroom interruptions for our teachers and students who will be staying at school. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions.
To give permission for your HS, JH, or elementary student to leave early Friday, contact Jenni before the end of the day Thursday by phone at 217-531-1850 ext 1, or by email at weber-hallj@shiloh1.org.
On National Family Day we want to thank all of the families that came out earlier this month for our Grandparents Lunch.
From nationaltoday.com: National Family Day, celebrated on September 26, puts the spotlight on the people that make our lives meaningful. Families come in many forms and sizes and under different circumstances, but what they all share is unconditional love and support.
Everyone from 4th through 12th had fun with Attaboy today!
Atta Boy will be performing a free concert this evening, September 25, at 7 PM in the high school gym. They will discuss their faith through music, which is completely different from the motivational concert they gave to our students today. This evening's concert is NOT a school sponsored event. They went through the process of securing our school facilities as anyone can.
Since this is not school sponsored, if you would like supervision for your student, you will need to provide/arrange that supervision for the concert. If you have any questions/concerns, please contact the school.
Today is the 1st quarter midterm. You can log into your TeacherEase parent portal and check your student's current grades, attendance, and behavior.
This is a good time to consider the importance of good attendance. So far 40% of elementary students, 41% of junior high students, and 39% of high school students at Shiloh have been healthy, here, and ready to learn as demonstrated by missing zero days of school!
Next week is Homecoming week, and everyone is invited to participate!
Kiddie Cheer Camp forms must be turned into the Elementary/JH office with the fee before 2:30 today.
Shiloh Families,
The phones are back up and running! Thank you for your patience.
Shiloh families,
Our phones are down this morning. We have contacted our service provider and hope that they are back up soon. Please feel free to email the offices regarding absences, bus changes, or early pick ups. Elementary/JH: weber-hallj@shiloh1.org HS: barry@shiloh1.org

Partnership in Parenting met for their September group connection, "Watch Me Grow." The children read the Belly Button Book by Sandra Boynton, and there were lots of giggles when pointing to their own belly buttons throughout the story. The children were then weighed & measured and had a life-sized drawing made. They colored self-portraits and created apple trees from arm, hand, and fingerprints. At the May group next spring, the children will be measured again to see how much they have grown and include their artwork from the year to make an annual journal.
For snack, the PIP-Squeaks made a likeness of themselves by using a Ritz cracker for a head and pieces of string cheese for arms and legs. They each chose a book to take home along with a mirror for learning about facial features and emotions.
The next PIP group connection will be Wednesday, October 18, at 9:30 AM at the Shiloh Prairie. Mrs. Saddoris and Miss Julie will be guiding the tour and sharing about bugs, plants and wildlife.
September is suicide prevention awareness month. Thank you to these two students who took it on their own to spread awareness today to their classmates.
School Picture Day is next Tuesday, September 26, 2023. Go to my.lifetouch.com and use code EVTB68QRP to order.
Junior High Boys Baseball uniform return at Shiloh from 4:00 - 5:15 TODAY.
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Update
PreK and Kindergarteners will return to us on Monday, September 18, but we are starting to see HFMD in other elementary grades. Please take extra precautions to keep everyone safe.
Please check your children very thoroughly for anything out of the ordinary. If they tell you that they feel funny or otherwise, it could very well be HFMD. For the safety of the entire district, do not send kids to school if they have signs or symptoms until they have been cleared by the school nurse.
Thank you for your patience and for taking extra precautions. Our staff has been working diligently to clean and disinfect the school to make sure it is safe. Nothing is more important than the safety of our students and staff.
Bus Schedule 9/18 to 9/23
Reminder to parents, today is Wednesday. Every Wednesday this school year will be an early 2:05 dismissal.
