Jacksonville School District 117 is hoping to provide a safe, anonymous alternative as they roll out information on Phase III of the Vision 117 plan. A presentation outlining Phase III can be viewed here.
Phase III has several options surrounding the district’s 2 oldest schools: Washington Elementary (1932) and the Murrayville-Woodson school (1917). The phase will either make permanent, generous updates and renovations to either building or consider the possible closure of Murrayville-Woodson with another addition to South Elementary School. The board is exploring a $13 million bond sale for August 21st.
Superintendent Steve Ptacek says he understands that the process surrounding the schools’ next phase is a very personal and possibly emotional issue for many members of the community.

South Elementary is the lucky recipient of a SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Partnership) grant. The goal of this grant is to strengthen social-emotional and literacy skills in both families’ primary language and English, as well as build family connections, according to Laura Zender, Saint Peter Public Schools Elementary Counselor.
Every two weeks from May to August identified Spanish-speaking families will receive a social-emotional-themed children’s book written in Spanish with a note identifying key points to discuss with their children and extension activities (such as art, games, listening to the book online). All materials needed for the extension activities will also be given to the family. Families will receive a total of seven books.
