Big News from the Illinois State Board of Education!
We are thrilled to announce the latest school designations from the Illinois State Board of Education, and our district has some serious reasons to celebrate!

Each year, the state releases its Illinois Report Card, recognizing the hard work and dedication of schools. Here’s how our amazing schools stacked up:

Commendable: A huge round of applause for Aplington Middle School and Centennial on earning the "Commendable" designation! This is a fantastic achievement reflecting their commitment to excellence.

EXEMPLARY: And now, a massive congratulations to Polo Community High School for earning the "EXEMPLARY" designation! This is an elite honor reserved for only the top 10% of all schools in the state.

This incredible recognition is a testament to the hard work of our outstanding students, dedicated faculty, noncertified staff, administration, school board, and supportive community. Congratulations to the High School and the entire District on these great designations!

It's truly a great day to be a Marco!

Our preschool has been exploring the theme of pumpkins this week in Miss Paige's room. We've integrated this exploration with motor skill and shape activities. Students have been using golf tees and rubber bands to transform pumpkins into Geoboards. This project allows children to gain sensory experience with the pumpkins while actively practicing gross and fine motor skills and shape recognition.

🎃 Pumpkin Investigation Fun in Preschool!
Our preschoolers recently wrapped up an exciting Pumpkin Investigation packed with hands-on learning and exploration! Throughout this project, students practiced a variety of important skills, from estimation and making hypotheses to graphing and measuring with nonstandard units.

We dove deep into both the external and internal parts of a pumpkin, explored the pumpkin life cycle, and even conducted a sink-or-float science experiment to test our predictions. Along the way, students also strengthened their vocabulary by describing pumpkins with adjectives and sharing their observations with classmates.

To tie art into our investigation, the children created beautiful still-life pumpkin paintings and shape jack-o’-lanterns, showcasing their creativity and understanding of shapes and colors.

It was such a joy to see our young learners so engaged, curious, and excited throughout every activity. Their enthusiasm truly made this pumpkin project a memorable learning experience!
