The Carmi-White Co. CUSD 5 Board of Education is conducting a search for a new superintendent. The selection of a new superintendent is probably the most important decision a board of education has to make; therefore, the Board has hired the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to assist in this process.
The Board of Education is seeking everyone’s input in the search process. The Board requests that all board members, all staff, all parents and community members complete an online survey provided by the IASB. The results will be tallied and used by the Board and Screening Team to develop a brochure to advertise the position.
The survey for parents can be accessed at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HBMVBLP & on the district website.
The survey for community members can be accessed at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HHDNMMW & on the district website.
The survey deadline is: September 13, 2021 at 11:45 p.m.
Thank you for taking time to complete the survey.
There is a water leak in front of Washington School by the cross walk. The road is open but very congested. The north cross walk will be closed.
Every Carmi district student received a Carmi Elves form regarding shoes, shirt, and a haircut. Please complete and return the form by Friday, August 27th ONLY if there is a need for those items for your child. If you have any questions, please call your child's school building. Thank you! #BulldogPride
Reminder to Unit #5 Parents/Guardians:

Attention JH parents and guardians: Please DO NOT pull into the main back parking lot to pick up your students in the afternoons. The back parking lot is reserved for buses only after school. Students will be dismissed through the Main Street exits of the building. We realize that the road construction will complicate this process. Please be patient.
Attention: Due to the road construction on Route 1/Main Street, we ask that all Jr. High students be dropped off in the main back parking lot of the Jr./Sr. High. Jr. High students will need to enter the double doors by the small gym (Furthest doors to the west near the end of the parking lot). We also ask that parents do not drop their JH students off on 9th street as this area gets congested even when there isn’t any road construction. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing your students on Monday!
