The drop-box for letters and cards for our Bravo Company Soldiers is in the entrance vestibule of the Teutopolis Post Office! All are invited to join in this opportunity to let our soldiers know we are thinking of them. You may direct your correspondence to a particular soldier, or leave it nameless for random distribution.

TGS is getting ready for the materials pick-up today from 3:00-6:00. With the quantity of materials to distribute, the process may move a bit more slowly than previously. Your patience will be appreciated. Please pull onto the shoulder if the line of vehicles extends onto Route 40. Thank you!

THS Art students had just finished these portraits of Syrian and Russian children as a part of the Memory Project. Luckily, they took their group photo on the last Friday we were in session. Mrs. Petty mailed them right off. These portraits will eventually get delivered to these children who are in tough situations and often don’t have any photos of themselves to know what they looked like when they were kids. What a fantastic job and kind act!!
This TGS student made a game, complete with a spinner and multiple choice questions - all about baseball, of course!!! Pretty cool - it wasn't part of any assignment - just having fun!
Students rising to the challenge! Way to go!
Two fourth grade teachers spreading smiles today as they visit some of their students :)
One of our TGS students wants to challenge other students to come up with ideas to help the community from home! He picked up all this trash from the road by his house!
As you have probably assumed, the high school drama club unfortunately will not be able to perform Shrek the Musical this weekend. We will update as soon as we can with a postponed date. Thank you for understanding and for supporting the arts!
Dear Staff and Community at Teutopolis CUSD #50,
On Friday, March 20th, Governor Pritzker issued an executive order requiring residents to “stay at home” effective Saturday, March 21 at 5:00 pm, through the end of April 7. As part of the Governor’s order, he announced that school will remain closed, with a new tentative reopening date of April 8. We recognize that this development may raise questions about the impact on students, staff, and families as well as the school’s vital role of providing meals to students and families while schools are closed. We anticipate further guidance and details from the Illinois State Board of Education next week.
During this stay at home order, essential school personnel may still report to work as long as they are practicing social distancing. We want you to know the governor’s office has assured school districts that school personnel involved in providing meals will not be in violation of the governor’s executive order and that we can, and should, continue with our Grab and Go lunch program, which has had a tremendous impact in making sure our students are not going hungry while school is closed.
In addition, the governor has made it clear that, while he’s serious about using social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, he wants residents to still be able to work, shop at grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and get medication from the pharmacy. Rest assured, we are committed to doing our best to provide meals and deliver continuity of education.
Please use this opportunity to focus on staying safe and helping to slow the spread of the virus. As always, thank you for your patience and support as we all work through the COVID-19 Pandemic. As you have seen, this situation is evolving rapidly. As events unfold, we will continue to communicate in a timely and transparent manner. Further details regarding continuity of educational opportunities and instruction will be forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Deborah Philpot,
Interim Superintendent

Grab and Go Lunch Program
During the school closure Teutopolis School District will provide Grab and Go lunches for district children ages 18 and under. A survey will be available later today on the Teutopolis School District website for families to complete if families wish to pick up lunches for their children during the school district closure.
Currently the Grab and Go sack lunch schedule will be as follows:
Wednesday, March 18: Grab & Go pick up at Teutopolis Grade School from 10:30 - 11:30
Monday, March 23: Grab & Go pick up at Teutopolis Grade School from 10:30-11:30
Wednesday, March 25: Grab & Go pick up at Teutopolis Grade School from 10:30-11:30
Friday, March 27: Grab & Go pick up at Teutopolis Grade School from 10:30-11:30
Monday, March 30: Grab & Go pick up at Teutopolis Grade School from 10:30-11:30
On the above dates students will be issued more than one sack lunch. As an example, on Wednesday of this week they will be issued three sack lunches each.
An example of a Grab and Go lunch menu will be: ham and cheese sandwich, bag of baby carrots, apple, bag of chips, and milk.
If a family requests delivery due to transportation needs we will try to accommodate those needs.
Again, if you wish to receive sack lunches for your child, please complete the survey on the Teutopolis School District web site at http://www.teutopolisschools.org/
Please contact the Teutopolis CUSD #50 Office if you have questions regarding the Grab and Go lunch program.
