Community Consolidated Schools

Dear CCSD 168 Parents/Guardians: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 is an E-learning day for students. This is Primary Election Day for Illinois.

Dear Community Consolidated School District 168 Families: Each Spring, all CCSD 168 students in Grades 3 to 8 take federally-required assessments to help us understand how they are growing academically. Since 2019, the state has utilized the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) to assess students’ knowledge and skills in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, as well as their progress toward the long-term goal of college and career readiness.

Community Consolidated School District 168 is now offering ESL classes for adults! When: Tuesday & Thursday from 3:00-4:30 pm Where: Strassburg Elementary School

Please join us for another Wellness Wednesday as we discuss seasonal depression and ways to cope.

#d168excels - Free Beds for Children - Sleep in Heavenly Peace We fully believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. When it was brought to our attention that the need for beds went far beyond our own neighborhoods, we stepped up and took initiative. Click the link https://shpbeds.org to learn how to apply. All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Beds come with mattress, sheets, pillow and comforter. Either a bunk bed or a twin bed
