Today, after school dismissal, a report was made to the junior high guidance counselor that a violent threat had been made towards two students and the entire junior high school. This information was immediately reported to the Mount Carmel Police Department. The Police Department engaged in an investigation and, with the assistance of the State’s Attorney, determined that enough evidence was available to file charges against the student. The student was immediately suspended out of school. The school will continue to assist in the investigation. I want to thank our guidance department and the Mount Carmel and Wabash County Police for their quick response to this situation.
REMINDER - School will not be in session tomorrow, November 8, 2022 for the Election Day Holiday.

Head Lice Information: With colder weather coming and kiddos spending more time together in closer spaces, it is time to be a little more aware of head lice. Just a reminder that scratching is the most common sign of lice, especially if the child is scratching behind the ears and at the nape of the neck. If you see your child scratching please take a look. Head lice are spread through person to person contact with hats, clothing, brushes and etc. Lice do not jump or fly. Please talk with your children and encourage them not share their belongings with others. Parents please be diligent inspecting your child's head daily for the signs of head lice. If you have any questions or would like more education please let me know. Stephanie Kolb BSN-RN, PEL-CSN

Social Media Tip
District #348 Preschool for All will be conducting Child Find/Preschool Screenings for children ages 3 to 5 who are not yet enrolled in public schools and who are not kindergarten eligible. The screening checks each child’s progress in hearing, vision, speech, language, and coordination skills. This will give parents a better idea of how their child is progressing at this very young age before they begin school. This screening program is free and parents will receive immediate feedback on how their child is developing. Head Start personnel will also be present to explain their program and services. Screenings will be held on August 30th, August 31st, and September 1st. The screening procedure takes about 45 minutes, and appointments must be made so that children do not have a long wait period.
Parents should call 618-262-4623 to make an appointment or to get more information.
If you believe, based on your income, that your child may qualify for FREE or REDUCED meals, please print and fill out a 2022-2023 Food Service Application >>https://5il.co/1f0a1<< and return it to your child’s school office or you may fill one out at your child’s school office.
REMINDER: Today, August 3, 2022, from 9-11 a.m. and 4-6 p.m., Room 175 at MCJHS will be open for any Wabash CUSD #348 parent/guardian needing assistance with registration.
Today, the turf field has officially been completed. Even with the heavy rains, the field immediately drained and remained dry. This is an eventful day for the Aces Community. Over the next few weeks, there will be continued construction that is critical to the success of the project. I am reminding the community that the site is still a construction site. Therefore, we are only allowing school personnel and supervised students on the field. The stadium remains off limits. Thank you for your patience as we look forward to the completion of the project.
