❤️ the weightroom through the technology lab
🤍 the gym through the outside doors
❤️Summer Daycare through the back door
🤍 EELC is operating as normal
The parking lots will be painted this week as well, please watch for the signs for closed areas.
Thank you for your flexibility!

Save the date!!! We hope you can visit and see all the great things happening at the school. This is a great opportunity to not only tour the school and prepare for the new year but also see what other options Earlville has to offer. It takes a village, and Earlville is the best!

Earlville Police Department introduces our first Therapy Dog, Luna. Luna is a 3 month Shih Tzu and has a bit of growing to do. Luna will be with her handler, Officer Felecia Rasmussen and she will be assigned to the school with Officer Felecia. We would like to thank the Lions Club for their amazing donation to help us with getting Luna and paying for her training classes. We would also like to thank Tri County Vet for taking care of all Luna’s Vet care. Also thank you to Allycia White for taking care of her grooming needs. All of these are being donated by them and we thank you so very much. Thank you to Peru PD Officer/SRO Brian Zebron for assisting Officer Felecia with getting all the required things done in order to have Luna. Thank you to the Earlville City Council and Earlville School Board for approving this new addition.
Luna’s job will start on August 17th at Back To School Night and she will continue her training while doing her job. A lot of people have questions about what her job will be. This is a list of her jobs and we have had so many kids already that said they can’t wait to come to school and are very excited.
Reduce Anxiety: Petting a dog lowers cortisol and increases oxytocin, calming nervous or overwhelmed students.
Build Reading Confidence: Children practice reading aloud to non-judgmental dogs, which removes the fear of making mistakes.
De-escalate Meltdowns: Dogs offer grounding sensory comfort to students experiencing panic attacks or emotional crises.
Improve Attendance: The anticipation of seeing a school dog motivates chronically absent students to attend classes.
Boost Social Skills: Dogs act as social icebreakers, helping isolated students connect with peers and counselors.
Support Crisis Recovery: Handlers deploy dogs after school tragedies to provide immediate trauma relief and grief support.

We thank all those that have registered already and we apologize for any inconvenience associated with "email". We found an error that our team and Skyward are working on. When you click "forgot password" or are new to the district it is saying that we are sending you an email. Unfortunately, all of the emails are staying in a queue and not being sent out. We are working on it and hopefully it will be fixed soon. If you don't receive the email by Tuesday morning, please contact the school for assistance.

Just a heads up!
The city is changing garbage companies and has asked us to use the WEST GYM parking lot as a staging area. You will see many cans in the lot. You may still use the lot, but please be mindful of their need for space. It takes a village, and Earlville is the BEST!
Republic will use the lot on July 24th and 31st
Northern Illinois Disposal will use the lot July 27th - 29th
