Due to field conditions, the HS Baseball game at AFC for tomorrow, 3/18, has been cancelled.  We are working on a make-up date. 

Due to the projected road conditions 3/17/26 Earlville CUSD 9, including EELC, will have a delayed start. We will start school at 10:00 am. The bus will start picking students up at 9am and follow their normal schedule. The Sports Career field trip is canceled. Thank you for your cooperation!

Your voice matters, and we are asking for just a few minutes of your time to help strengthen our schools.

The 2026 Illinois 5Essentials Supplemental Parent Survey is now open. This confidential survey, conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education in partnership with the University of Chicago and Panorama, provides valuable feedback on key areas that support student success, including effective leadership, strong family and community connections, and a supportive learning environment. The survey closes this week!

Complete the Survey- https://surveys.panoramaed.com/earlville9/3780382344/surveys

To unlock survey results for each school, we must achieve at least 20% participation from parents and guardians at that school. Reaching this threshold is critical because the results help guide school improvement efforts and directly inform decisions that impact your students’ educational experience.
Earlville Early Learning Center (EELC and Preschool students)
Earlville Elementary (Grades Kindergarten - 5th) (we need 9 more parents, please take the survey)
Earlville Junior High (Grades 6th - 8th) (we need 3 more parents, please take the survey)
Earlville High School (Grades 9th - 12th) (we need 6 more parents, please take the survey)

We strongly encourage every family to participate. When families share their perspectives, it helps us grow, improve, and better serve our students. We do understand and appreciate the fact that you just completed the Blue Ribbon Survey, and we would appreciate it if you could complete this survey individually for each of your children. Thank you in advance for helping us to continue to be D2E!
